上下文不可序列化。您应该将变量声明为 transient ，以防止它被序列化。当然，你应该在反序列化时手动分配它。

  public class MyObject {

 private transient Context context; 

 // ...这里的其他字段

 public MyObject（）{
} 

 public void setContext（Context context）{ 
 this.context = context; 
} 

} 
 

I have an ArrayList of custom objects that I'm trying to store to disk as a JSON String using Gson. This works great for my objects that just contain basic types of data like Strings, but one class I have has a private member that stores the Activity's Context. When I try to serialize this class using Gson, I get the following Exception:

I'm guessing the issue is that there is a method inside Context that Gson can't access because it's protected or something similar. So is there a way I can serialize objects that contain other complex objects using Gson?

Here is a short code snippet that will produce the crash:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        MyObject myObject = new MyObject(this);

        Gson gson = new Gson();
        String myObjectJson = gson.toJson(myObject);
    }

    public class MyObject {

        private Context context;

        public MyObject(Context context) {
            this.context = context;
        }
    }
}

Context is not serializable. You should declare variable as transient for preventing it to be serialized. Of course you should assign it manually when deserializing.

public class MyObject {

    private transient Context context;

    // ... other fields here

    public MyObject() {
    }

    public void setContext(Context context) {
        this.context = context;
    }

}
