Android HashMap in Bundle?

The android.os.Message uses a Bundle to send with it's sendMessage-method. Therefore, is it possible to put a HashMap inside a Bundle?

try as:

Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putSerializable("HashMap",hashMap);
intent.putExtras(extras);

and in second Activity

Bundle bundle = this.getIntent().getExtras();

if(bundle != null) {
   hashMap = bundle.getSerializable("HashMap");
}

because Hashmap by default implements Serializable so you can pass it using putSerializable in Bundle and get in other activity using getSerializable

According to the doc, Hashmap implements Serializable, so you can putSerializable I guess. Did you try it ?

Please note: If you are using a AppCompatActivity, you will have to call the protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {} (NOT public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState, PersistableBundle outPersistentState) {}) method.

Example code...

Store the map:

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    outState.putSerializable("leftMaxima", leftMaxima);
    outState.putSerializable("rightMaxima", rightMaxima);
}

And receive it in onCreate:

if (savedInstanceState != null) {
    leftMaxima = (HashMap<Long, Float>) savedInstanceState.getSerializable("leftMaxima");
    rightMaxima = (HashMap<Long, Float>) savedInstanceState.getSerializable("rightMaxima");
}

Sorry if it's some kind of a duplicate answer - maybe someone will find it useful. :)
