title: Android parcel, stored in memory or on disk? How to store on disk
body: <p>I see parcel and serializable being used kind of interchangeably, or at least un-intuitively in the same context. Can you clarify some things for me?</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>are parcel's persistent storage (on the disk) or stored in memory only</p></li>
  <li><p>do I need serializable to store parcel data to disk</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>thank you for the insight, and no, the android dev manual does not make this obvious to me</p>
