StackOverflowError: LinkedList & ArrayList deserialization

serialization

When deserializing (readObject) an LinkedList with approx. 300 elements, each of which contains another nested ArrayList with approx. 10-30 elements each, I sometimes get an StackOverflowError. The ObjectOutput/Input file has a size of 1MB. All this is done on Android.

I've already found some similar questions here, but none of them helped me to solve this. How can I face this issue? I've read one idea to iterate over the list and write each contained object itself to the ObjectOutputStream but then I've looked into ArrayList's writeObject method and figured out, that it is already done this way. So, how can I prevent the StackOverflowError?

Here the stack:

According to the provided stack trace, you have nested ArrayLists eleven levels deep. 

LinkedList
└ ArrayList
  └ ArrayList
    └ ArrayList
      └ ArrayList
        └ ArrayList
          └ ArrayList
            └ ArrayList
              └ ArrayList
                └ ArrayList
                  └ ArrayList
                    └ ArrayList
                      └ Date

So, how can I prevent the StackOverflowError?

To prevent stack overflow, flatten out your data structure.

Or if that is not feasible, check out How to increase the Java stack size?.
