I didn't understand anything for this set of videos. Why are we even using parceable arrays. Getting very confusing.

I did not understand the code written for this. I just copied all the code. Can someone help in having a more clear idea about parsing arrays.

Judah Devasahayam Sorry for late reply, been out. I did not get the idea of implementing the parceable class and so using the other methods of the class.

Seriously how the fuck does anyone learn to use this on their own? I'm just "Shut up and type". If I stop and look at wtf is going on, my brain just wants to cry.

SANKET THAKUR I'm very sorry for replying so late! I had paused my account for quite some while. What Parcelable basically does is, it restores/writes instances or objects of a class from Parcel object. Instances are initialised in the Parcel object which wraps all the instances (in our case we stored all the instances in private Day(Parcel in){}) so that it can be shipped to other classes/activity. Later this data is received and unwrapped by using the Parcelable array.
