+A parcelable extra must be of a type supporting parcelable.  For example:
+<code java>
+package com.acme.myapp;
+import android.os.Parcel;
+import android.os.Parcelable;
+public class Team implements Parcelable
+{
+    public long id = 0;
+    public String name = "";
+    public String number = "";
+    public int ranking = 0;
+    // Default constructor
+    Team()
+    {
+    }
+    // In constructor, read variables from Parcel.
+    // Important: Read them in the same sequence in which they were written in Parcel.
+    public Team(Parcel in) {
+        id = in.readLong();
+        name = in.readString();
+        number = in.readString();
+        ranking = in.readInt();
+    }
+    @Override
+    public int describeContents() {
+        return 0;
+    }
+    // Write member variables in Parcel.
+    // Write in any order. Not required to write all members in Parcel.
+    @Override
+    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
+        // Write data in any order
+        dest.writeLong(id);

+        dest.writeInt(ranking);

 === Intent Examples ===
 For example, in the ''MainActivity'', you can define an intent:
