Why can't i send my ArrayList to another fragment?

Time:04-08

There are 2 fragments: A and B. From fragment A i want to send ArrayList (data) to fragment B.

action() - a method in which data transfer and transition to fragment B should occur (using navigate()). The program builds without errors, but when you click on the button to which the action method is attached, a crash occurs, the error is as follows:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong argument type for 'array' in argument bundle. java.util.ArrayList expected.

It says that I inserted an argument of the wrong type into the Bundle, an ArrayList is needed. But it is an ArrayList, isn't it?

Please help, i've been struggling with this problem for 2 days now. My code is below.

Fragment A code:

package com.github.dev.app.pack;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment;
import com.github.vladosspasi.mes.databinding.FragmentABinding;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class FragmentA extends Fragment {

    private FragmentABinding binding;
    private ArrayList<Integer> data; // ArrayList that i want to send
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(
            LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState
    ) {
        binding = FragmentAsBinding.inflate(inflater, container, false);
        return binding.getRoot();
    }


    public void onViewCreated(@NonNull View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);

        data = new ArrayList<>(); 
        data.add(1);              

        binding.actionButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                action();   //method with navigating to fragmentB and data transmitting
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroyView() {
        super.onDestroyView();
        binding = null;
    }

    private void action() {

        Bundle arg = new Bundle();
        arg.putSerializable("array", data); //putIntegerArrayList doesn't work either

        NavHostFragment.findNavController(FragmentA.this)
             .navigate(R.id.action_FragmentA_to_FragmentB, arg); //exception ocuring here

    }
}

Fragments declaration in nav_graph.xml:

    <fragment
            android:id="@ id/FragmentA"
            android:name="com.github.dev.app.pack.FragmentA"
            android:label="Fragment A">
        <action
            android:id="@ id/action_FragmentA_to_FragmentB"
            app:destination="@id/FragmentB"/>
    </fragment>

    <fragment
            android:id="@ id/FragmentB"
            android:name="com.github.dev.app.pack.FragmentB"
            android:label="Fragment B">
        <argument android:name="array" app:argType="java.util.ArrayList"/>
    </fragment>

int, String and other arguments are working properly, but ArrayList isn't. Please help! Thank you.

Please use below code to send the data from one fragment to another fragment

 Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
 bundle.putParcelableArrayList("array",data);
