Passing enum or object through an intent (the best solution)
<p>I have an activity that when started needs access to two different ArrayLists.  Both Lists are different Objects I have created myself. </p>

<p>Basically I need a way to pass these objects to the activity from an Intent.  I can use addExtras() but this requires a Parceable compatible class.  I could make my classes to be passed serializable but as I understand this slows down the program.</p>

<p>What are my options?</p>

<p>Can I pass an Enum?</p>

<p>As an an aside: is there a way to pass parameters to an Activity Constructor from an Intent?</p>
