It should be abstract, but I cannot make it abstract because then I cannot add the CREATOR to it, which is needed to implement Parcelable. So now it is just an empty superclass. > > Have your tried to put the 'public static final Parcelable.Creator > CREATOR<Cat>' and 'public static final Parcelable.Creator > CREATOR<Dog>' variables and definitions in both Cat and Dog (and not > in Animal)? This will make sure that the factory-method > createFromParcel creates the appropriate subclass (Cat or Dog, and not > Animal). I did that, but it doesn't work. Those CREATORs are never actually called. The AIDL compiler sees the List<Animal> and assumes that every element in the list is an Animal, and no subclass of it, and it creates the unmarshalling code accordingly. > About the readFromParcel(). > If Cat and Dog both implement readFromParcel() it should work fine. > Are you sure that the variable 'a' is not an Animal instance? > That was my mistake, I didn't properly override the method (one was private and the other was public).
