folks! I wrote a Book class which has Chapter objects (a one to many relationship). It implements the method public List chapters(), as stated in the docs. This is the Book.java
@Table(name = "Books")
public class Book extends Model implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Column(name = "Name", unique = true, onUniqueConflict = Column.ConflictAction.IGNORE)
public String name;
@Column(name = "Sort")
public int sort;
public Book() {
super();
}
public Book(String name, int sort) {
super();
this.name = name;
this.sort = sort;
}
public List<Chapter> chapters() {
return getMany(Chapter.class, "Book");
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return name;
}
}
On the main activity I can get the Chapter objects successfully. However, I have to pass a book object to another activity, which has a fragment, and though I get the object's stated attributes (String name and int sort) it throws an exception when I call to chapters():
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
Book book = (Book) bundle.getSerializable("BOOK");
// This line is executed successfully
Log.d("TAGGED", "Recovered book: " + book.name + " has " + book.sort + " as its sort");
// This is the line that throws an exception
ArrayList<Chapter> chapters = book.chapters();
the thrown exception is the following:

Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks!!!
