What's currently missing from mandroid is the support to properly implement the IParcelable interface; a related one is java.io.Serializable. The fundamental problem is that these interfaces require additional support members -- the android.os.Parcelable interface (IParcelable) requires that the interface implementation have a `static final CREATOR` field which refers to an instance to use for marshaling. mandroid.exe, at present, doesn't support the creation of user-specified Java-side fields, in any form; consequently, IParcelable can't be implemented in a usable fashion. java.io.Serializable is similar but different: it requires that the Java type provide private writeObject() and readObject() methods. Again, mandroid.exe at present doesn't provide any mechanism to add additional methods to the created Java code. > I don't think I'm using that, however I do pass an Intent to > Bundle.PutParcelable. Indeed, you do not appear to be implementing IParcelable, so this shouldn't be an issue for you. If this is crashing the OS for you, could you file a bug at bugzilla.xamarin.com so that we can investigate further?
