I wanted to send broadcast to my activity and put BackendlessUser as an intent extra, using
public Intent putExtra (String name, Serializable value)
Compiler didn’t report any errors since BackendlessUser does implement Serializable. But when I run the program I get following error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Parcelable encountered IOException writing serializable object (name = com.backendless.BackendlessUser)

As I understand it, BackendlessUser class has a field that is of type Object and is not serializable. Am I doing something wrong and is there a way to use BackendlessUser as Serializable?
