Error While Passing An Object From An Activity To Another (Using Parcelable)

Question

I Tried To Pass An Object Class From An Activity To Another Using Parcelable

I've Create A Class And Name it Student

package com.example.test08_passobjectoverintent;

import android.os.Parcel;
import android.os.Parcelable;

public class Student implements Parcelable
{

    private String st_AcadimicNumber ;
    private String st_Name ;
    private String st_Class ;
    public String getSt_AcadimicNumber() {
        return st_AcadimicNumber;
    }
    public void setSt_AcadimicNumber(String st_AcadimicNumber) {
        this.st_AcadimicNumber = st_AcadimicNumber;
    }
    public String getSt_Name() {
        return st_Name;
    }
    public void setSt_Name(String st_Name) {
        this.st_Name = st_Name;
    }
    public String getSt_Class() {
        return st_Class;
    }
    public void setSt_Class(String st_Class) {
        this.st_Class = st_Class;
    }   

    public Student(String st_AcadimicNumber, String st_Name, String st_Class) {
        super();
        this.st_AcadimicNumber = st_AcadimicNumber;
        this.st_Name = st_Name;
        this.st_Class = st_Class;
    }
public Student() {
    super();
}
    @Override
    public int describeContents() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

}

In The Main Activity I Use This Code To Pass The Obejct ...

                Student st = new Student("aaa","bbb","ccc");
                Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,Main2Activity.class);
                intent.putExtra("stu", st);
                startActivity(intent);

In The Second Activity (Retrieve One)

I use This Code (ERROR IS HERE)

    Student model = (Student)getIntent().getParcelableExtra("stu");

You need to implement the code to write and read your class fields from parcel.

In writeToParcel:

@Override
public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
      dest.writeString(st_AcadimicNumber);
      dest.writeString(st_Name);
      dest.writeString(st_Class);
}

The Parcel CREATOR:

public static final Parcelable.Creator<Track> CREATOR
= new Parcelable.Creator<Track>() {
    public Student createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
        return new Track(in);
    }

    public Student[] newArray(int size) {
        return new Track[size];
    }
};

And the constructor:

public Student (Parcel source){
      /*
       * Reconstruct from the Parcel. Keep same order as in writeToParcel()
       */
      st_AcadimicNumber = source.readString();
      st_Name = source.readString();
      st_Class = source.readString();
}   

And it's done.
