java.io.NotSerializableException: com.google.gson.internal.LinkedTreeMap$1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of the product are you using? Gson 2.3.1
On what operating system? ArchLinux x86

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a Parcelable object which contains a Map which is filled by Gson
private Map<String, ?> mMap;

2.Write this map as a Serilizable in writeToParcel (I do this because I need to 
maintain Gson property order. If I do dest.writeMap() I will obtain a HashMap 
when creating from Parcel)
dest.writeSerializable((Serializable) mMap);

3. Obfuscate this with Proguard (not obfuscaed code not crashing).
4. Invoke writeToParcel()

What is the expected output?
No crash

What do you see instead?

Original issue reported on code.google.com by jaroslav...@lemberg.co.uk on 23 Jan 2015 at 1:45

Hi. Today got this crash. Gson parsed my object like 
ArrayList<LinkedTreeMap<Node<String, String>. This object convert to byte[] 
like this :

ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
objOutStream = new ObjectOutputStream(outStream);
objOutStream.writeObject(obj);

So, I got exception :

java.io.NotSerializableException: 
ru.tcsbank.wallet.gson.patched.internal.LinkedTreeMap$1
and could not write serialized object to byte array.

And yes. I dont know about true reason, but if I dont have proguard, this code 
works perfect.

I ran into this same issue and it appears to be a configuration issue with the 
default proguard file provided by google (in my case of android). You basically 
need to maintain additional methods when it comes to serializable classes. You 
can read section "Processing serializable classes" here for more info 
http://proguard.sourceforge.net/manual/examples.html#serializable

Long story short, add this to your proguard file so they aren't stripped out.
-keepclassmembers class * implements java.io.Serializable {
    private static final java.io.ObjectStreamField[] serialPersistentFields;
    private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream);
    private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream);
    java.lang.Object writeReplace();
    java.lang.Object readResolve();
}

Haven't tested this but spark's comment seems reasonable. I guess this issue 
should be closed as user error.

This should be added to some of the serializable notes somewhere in the android 
guide. By default when building using AndroidStudio, the bug did not show up in 
the debug build but it shows in the release build.
