How to put a List in intent

I want to pass a List from one activity to another. So far I have not been successful. This is my code.

//desserts.java

private List<Item> data;  

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
//Code
data.add(new Item(10, "dessert1"));
data.add(new Item(11, "dessert2"));
data.add(new Item(12, "dessert3"));
data.add(new Item(13, "dessert4"));
data.add(new Item(14, "dessert5"));
data.add(new Item(15, "dessert6"));
data.add(new Item(16, "dessert7"));
data.add(new Item(17, "dessert8"));
data.add(new Item(18, "dessert9"));
data.add(new Item(19, "dessert10"));
data.add(new Item(20, "dessert11"));  

//Some more code  
}  

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {  
Intent view_order_intent = new Intent(this, thirdpage.class);
view_order_intent.putExtra("data", data); 
startActivity(view_order_intent);  
}   

But I am not able to put data this way. I asked this question earlier but not much happened.
Kindly help. Also help me how to get data in next activity.

 //To send from the activity that is calling another activity via myIntent

    myIntent.putExtra("id","10");
    startActivity(myIntent);

    //To receive from another Activity

            Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
            String id=bundle.getString("id");

you can do it in two ways using

• Serializable

• Parcelable.

This examle will show you how to implement it with serializable

class Customer implements Serializable
{
   // properties, getter setters & constructor
}

// This is your custom object
Customer customer = new Customer(name, address, zip);

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(SourceActivity.this, TargetActivity.this);
intent.putExtra("customer", customer);
startActivity(intent);

// Now in your TargetActivity
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null)
{
    Customer customer = (Customer)extras.getSerializable("customer");
    // do something with the customer
}

Now have a look at this. This link will give you a brief overview of how to implement it with Parcelable.

Look at this.. This discussion will let you know which is much better way to implement it.

Thanks.

If you use ArrayList instead of list then also your problem wil be solved. In your code only modify List into ArrayList.

private List<Item> data;
