Anything you can serialize you can pass, but excessive passing of references is an indicator of Android code smell.
In this case, I'd say your code smells because you want to pass an HttpResponse. This indicates to me that you are handling it somewhere on the GUI thread: which is bad. Instead you should do something like: - Handle the HttpResponse in a Service. - Talk to the service using some sort of AIDL or Messenger, etc.. - Pass an ID to another activity which identifies the object to the service or something. If you are passing a connection, you can store it in the application Context. I believe it's been mentioned multiple times that this is one of the use cases of the Application context, even though to me I feel like delegating through a Service seems more kosher. (But really, it's also a pain..) Kris On Sun, Jan 20, 2013 at 2:31 PM, a <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the links. I saw the example of passing the object with String > and Int types.
