not serializable?

OMG information overload!

So, when trying to access the UID serial for serialver com.teamTreehouse.Treet I get the error:

Class com.teamTreehouse.Treet is not serializable

The Serializable method has been imported as per the video. I know the common practice is to post my code but at the moment I am not fussed with becoming a pro with serialization as my main goal is android app developement on a basic level(for now). I was just curious as to whether or not this was a simple coding error in general or something more complicated?

It could be something simple. Did you also put implements Serializable within your class definition? Posting your code could definitely help us find your issue.

Regards,

Chris

Thanks Christopher, I did add the implements Serializable in the class def. No real drama. Cheers

Have you consistently used com.teamTreehouse as the package name? The standard for package names is to have them be all lowercase. The serialver tool might not be finding your class due to inconsistent package naming. Even if you are consistent in using camelCase, maybe serialver automatically makes the package name lowercase because it assumes you were following the convention and just mistyped something. In any case, I'd make sure your package name is lowercase and see if that solves the issue.
