/**
 * Container for a message (data and object references) that can
 * be sent through an IBinder.  A Parcel can contain both flattened data
 * that will be unflattened on the other side of the IPC (using the various
 * methods here for writing specific types, or the general
 * {@link Parcelable} interface), and references to live {@link IBinder}
 * objects that will result in the other side receiving a proxy IBinder
 * connected with the original IBinder in the Parcel.
 *
 * <p class="note">Parcel is <strong>not</strong> a general-purpose
 * serialization mechanism.  This class (and the corresponding
 * {@link Parcelable} API for placing arbitrary objects into a Parcel) is
 * designed as a high-performance IPC transport.  As such, it is not
 * appropriate to place any Parcel data in to persistent storage: changes
 * in the underlying implementation of any of the data in the Parcel can
 * render older data unreadable.</p>
 *
 * <p>The bulk of the Parcel API revolves around reading and writing data
 * of various types.  There are six major classes of such functions available.</p>
 *
 * <h3>Primitives</h3>
 *
 * <p>The most basic data functions are for writing and reading primitive
 * data types: {@link #writeByte}, {@link #readByte}, {@link #writeDouble},
 * {@link #readDouble}, {@link #writeFloat}, {@link #readFloat}, {@link #writeInt},
 * {@link #readInt}, {@link #writeLong}, {@link #readLong},
 * {@link #writeString}, {@link #readString}.  Most other
 * data operations are built on top of these.  The given data is written and
 * read using the endianess of the host CPU.</p>
 *
 * <h3>Primitive Arrays</h3>
 *
 * <p>There are a variety of methods for reading and writing raw arrays
 * of primitive objects, which generally result in writing a 4-byte length
 * followed by the primitive data items.  The methods for reading can either
 * read the data into an existing array, or create and return a new array.
 * These available types are:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li> {@link #writeBooleanArray(boolean[])},
 * {@link #readBooleanArray(boolean[])}, {@link #createBooleanArray()}
 * <li> {@link #writeByteArray(byte[])},
 * {@link #writeByteArray(byte[], int, int)}, {@link #readByteArray(byte[])},
 * {@link #createByteArray()}
 * <li> {@link #writeCharArray(char[])}, {@link #readCharArray(char[])},
 * {@link #createCharArray()}
 * <li> {@link #writeDoubleArray(double[])}, {@link #readDoubleArray(double[])},
 * {@link #createDoubleArray()}
 * <li> {@link #writeFloatArray(float[])}, {@link #readFloatArray(float[])},
 * {@link #createFloatArray()}
 * <li> {@link #writeIntArray(int[])}, {@link #readIntArray(int[])},
 * {@link #createIntArray()}
 * <li> {@link #writeLongArray(long[])}, {@link #readLongArray(long[])},
 * {@link #createLongArray()}
 * <li> {@link #writeStringArray(String[])}, {@link #readStringArray(String[])},
 * {@link #createStringArray()}.
 * <li> {@link #writeSparseBooleanArray(SparseBooleanArray)},
 * {@link #readSparseBooleanArray()}.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Parcelables</h3>
 *
 * <p>The {@link Parcelable} protocol provides an extremely efficient (but
 * low-level) protocol for objects to write and read themselves from Parcels.
 * You can use the direct methods {@link #writeParcelable(Parcelable, int)}
 * and {@link #readParcelable(ClassLoader)} or
 * {@link #writeParcelableArray} and
 * {@link #readParcelableArray(ClassLoader)} to write or read.  These
 * methods write both the class type and its data to the Parcel, allowing
 * that class to be reconstructed from the appropriate class loader when
 * later reading.</p>
 *
 * <p>There are also some methods that provide a more efficient way to work
 * with Parcelables: {@link #writeTypedObject}, {@link #writeTypedArray},
 * {@link #writeTypedList}, {@link #readTypedObject},
 * {@link #createTypedArray} and {@link #createTypedArrayList}.  These methods
 * do not write the class information of the original object: instead, the
 * caller of the read function must know what type to expect and pass in the
 * appropriate {@link Parcelable.Creator Parcelable.Creator} instead to
 * properly construct the new object and read its data.  (To more efficient
 * write and read a single Parcelable object that is not null, you can directly
 * call {@link Parcelable#writeToParcel Parcelable.writeToParcel} and
 * {@link Parcelable.Creator#createFromParcel Parcelable.Creator.createFromParcel}
 * yourself.)</p>
 *
 * <h3>Bundles</h3>
 *
 * <p>A special type-safe container, called {@link Bundle}, is available
 * for key/value maps of heterogeneous values.  This has many optimizations
 * for improved performance when reading and writing data, and its type-safe
 * API avoids difficult to debug type errors when finally marshalling the
 * data contents into a Parcel.  The methods to use are
 * {@link #writeBundle(Bundle)}, {@link #readBundle()}, and
 * {@link #readBundle(ClassLoader)}.
 *
 * <h3>Active Objects</h3>
 *
 * <p>An unusual feature of Parcel is the ability to read and write active
 * objects.  For these objects the actual contents of the object is not
 * written, rather a special token referencing the object is written.  When
 * reading the object back from the Parcel, you do not get a new instance of
 * the object, but rather a handle that operates on the exact same object that
 * was originally written.  There are two forms of active objects available.</p>
 *
 * <p>{@link Binder} objects are a core facility of Android's general cross-process
 * communication system.  The {@link IBinder} interface describes an abstract
 * protocol with a Binder object.  Any such interface can be written in to
 * a Parcel, and upon reading you will receive either the original object
 * implementing that interface or a special proxy implementation
 * that communicates calls back to the original object.  The methods to use are
 * {@link #writeStrongBinder(IBinder)},
 * {@link #writeStrongInterface(IInterface)}, {@link #readStrongBinder()},
 * {@link #writeBinderArray(IBinder[])}, {@link #readBinderArray(IBinder[])},
 * {@link #createBinderArray()},
 * {@link #writeBinderList(List)}, {@link #readBinderList(List)},
 * {@link #createBinderArrayList()}.</p>
 *
 * <p>FileDescriptor objects, representing raw Linux file descriptor identifiers,
 * can be written and {@link ParcelFileDescriptor} objects returned to operate
 * on the original file descriptor.  The returned file descriptor is a dup
 * of the original file descriptor: the object and fd is different, but
 * operating on the same underlying file stream, with the same position, etc.
 * The methods to use are {@link #writeFileDescriptor(FileDescriptor)},
 * {@link #readFileDescriptor()}.
 *
 * <h3>Untyped Containers</h3>
 *
 * <p>A final class of methods are for writing and reading standard Java
 * containers of arbitrary types.  These all revolve around the
 * {@link #writeValue(Object)} and {@link #readValue(ClassLoader)} methods
 * which define the types of objects allowed.  The container methods are
 * {@link #writeArray(Object[])}, {@link #readArray(ClassLoader)},
 * {@link #writeList(List)}, {@link #readList(List, ClassLoader)},
 * {@link #readArrayList(ClassLoader)},
 * {@link #writeMap(Map)}, {@link #readMap(Map, ClassLoader)},
 * {@link #writeSparseArray(SparseArray)},
 * {@link #readSparseArray(ClassLoader)}.
