[mono-android] Deserialize from Intent.GetStringExtra issue

[José M. Rivera]

This is working for me:
********** My Class **********
[Serializable] 
    public class MyClass 
    { 
        #region "Global Variables" 

        private string mGender; 
        private bool mSmoker; 
        private DateTime mDOB; 

        #endregion 

        #region "Constructors" 

        public Person(string Gender, bool Smoker, DateTime DateOfBirth) 
        { 
            mGender = Gender; 
            mSmoker = Smoker; 
            mDOB = DateOfBirth; 
        } 

        public Person() 
        { 
        } 

        #endregion 

        #region "Properties" 
        
        public string Gender 
        { 
            get { return mGender; } 
            set { mGender = value; } 
        } 

        public bool Smoker 
        { 
            get { return mSmoker; } 
            set { mSmoker = value; } 
        } 

        public DateTime DOB 
        { 
            get { return mDOB; } 
            set { mDOB = value; } 
        } 
      
        #endregion   
    } 

************** Serialization and adding the String *************
...
Bundle b = new Bundle();
MyClass myClass = new MyClass("M",false, new DateTime(1980, 01, 01));
b.PutString("myclass", Serialize(myClass));

Intent newIntent = new Intent(this, typeof(MyActivity));

newIntent.PutExtras(b);
StartActivity(newIntent);
....

public string Serialize(MyClass myClass)
        {
            XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(myClass));
            StringWriter writer = new
StringWriter(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
            serializer.Serialize(writer, myClass);
            return writer.ToString();
        }
        
*********** Deserialization on the new Activity ***********
private MyClass myClass;

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{            
	base.OnCreate(bundle);
              ...
              myClass = Deserialize(Intent.GetStringExtra("myclass"));
              ...
}

public MyClass Deserialize(string serializedData)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(serializedData))
                return new MyClass;

            XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyClass));
            StringReader reader = new StringReader(serializedData);
            return (MyClass)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
        }
