I am trying to send "HashMap pointMap" this hash map to a new activity , this is where i send the map , In oncreate method in Main2Activity class

fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent myIntent = new Intent(Main2Activity.this, OutActivity.class);

            Log.d("Null",dv.getPointMap().toString());

            myIntent.putExtra("hashMap", dv.getPointMap());
            //pass input int to next activity
            Main2Activity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
        }
    });

And in here dv is a DrawingView class it's extends View and it has method call getPointMap it returns the hashMap

And this how i receive it from next activity

    hashMap = (HashMap<Integer , Point>) this.getIntent().getSerializableExtra("hashMap");

before sending i checked whether it has any elements , in the log it shows it has elements but my problem is when the code runs it gives this exception

FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.example.chalaka.myapplication, PID: 22046 java.lang.RuntimeException: Parcel: unable to marshal value com.example.chalaka.myapplication.Point@293492bd at android.os.Parcel.writeValue(Parcel.java:1337) at android.os.Parcel.writeMapInternal(Parcel.java:614) at android.os.Parcel.writeMap(Parcel.java:598) at android.os.Parcel.writeValue(Parcel.java:1255) at android.os.Parcel.writeArrayMapInternal(Parcel.java:638) at android.os.BaseBundle.writeToParcelInner(BaseBundle.java:1313) at android.os.Bundle.writeToParcel(Bundle.java:1096) at android.os.Parcel.writeBundle(Parcel.java:663) at android.content.Intent.writeToParcel(Intent.java:7335) at android.app.ActivityManagerProxy.startActivity(ActivityManagerNative.java:2485) at android.app.Instrumentation.execStartActivity(Instrumentation.java:1486) at android.app.Activity.startActivityForResult(Activity.java:3796) at android.app.Activity.startActivityForResult(Activity.java:3744) at android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity.startActivityForResult(FragmentActivity.java:784) at android.app.Activity.startActivity(Activity.java:4067) at android.app.Activity.startActivity(Activity.java:4035) at com.example.chalaka.myapplication.Main2Activity$1.onClick(Main2Activity.java:93) at android.view.View.performClick(View.java:4808) at android.view.View$PerformClick.run(View.java:19918) at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:739) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:95) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:135) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5536) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:372) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:1397) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1192)

Try use Parcelable: developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable.html insted of HashMap. Is designed for saveing in intent params. – Kenumir

The problem is that your class com.example.chalaka.myapplication.Point does not implement Parcelable nor Serializable.

Do so and the code above will work as you expect.

Write this method from where you want to start new Activity:

private void gotoServiceFragment(HashMap<String, String> map) {

 Intent gotoService = new Intent(registration.this, Service.class);
 gotoService.putExtra(AndyConstants.MAP, map);
 startActivity(gotoService);

}

And to get this map :

 Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
 HashMap<String, String> map = (HashMap<String, String>) bundle.getSerializable(AndyConstants.MAP);

Try to implement Parcelable in your com.example.chalaka.myapplication.Point class.

For example, when sending the intent:

HashMap<String, String> hashMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
hashMap.put("key", "value");
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyOtherActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("map", hashMap);
startActivity(intent);

in MyOtherActivity activity

Intent intent = getIntent();    
HashMap<String, String> hashMap = (HashMap<String, String>) intent.getSerializableExtra("map");
