For what is used the Serializable?

Hi! I'm wondering for what can I use the Serializable interface. Since it do not have methods or fields. Can you tell me for what it is used and provide a little example of it?
Thanks a lot!
Raul

Please tell me if the interface Serializable is having
no methods and variables. Then whats the use of this
kind of interfaces...
Marker Interface Pattern
The marker interface pattern is a design pattern in computer science.
This pattern allows a class to implement a marker interface, which exposes some underlying semantic property of the class that cannot be determined solely by the class' methods. Whereas a typical interface specifies functionality (in the form of method declarations) that an implementing class must support, a marker interface need not do so. The mere presence of such an interface indicates specific behavior on the part of the implementing class. Hybrid interfaces, which both act as markers and specify required methods, are possible but may prove confusing if improperly used.
One good example of a marker interface comes from the Java programming language. The Cloneable interface should be implemented by a class if it fully supports the Object.clone() method. Every class in Java has the Object class at the root of its inheritance hierarchy and so every object instantiated from any class has an associated clone() method. However, developers should only call clone() on objects of classes which implement the Clonable interface, as it indicates that the cloning functionality is actually supported in a proper manner.

  • How do I determine what is using the most memory.

    The hard disk memory is filling up and I was wondering what is the best way to determine what is using the most memory. Is there a way to show a graph of how the memory is used. Like on my ipod. When I am checking the memory, it will show how much is music, and how much is applications and so on.
    Also, I seemed to have lost the "all movies" in the list to the left when the hard disk is opened. It still shows the all imagess, and all documents but the all movies is gone.
    Thank you for any help
    Marco

    Try Grand Perspective or OmniDiskSweeper - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Just for future reference space on a hard drive is called, "storage," not "memory."  Memory refers to the installed RAM in your computer.
    Open Finder Preferences from its Finder menu.  Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar.  Check the box for your missing item.

  • How do I determine what is using the data on my iphone 5c?

    In looking at our bill we have one person that is using almost triple the amount of data that the other users are, and we need to figure out exactly what it is that is eating all of the data on his phone as he doesn't have any clue what it could be. Any help to determine what is using the data on an iphone 5c?

        emilyki, look no further. We can help you look into this data usage issue. First of all, we recommend that you disable data for a few applications on that iPhone 5C device to ensure that the applications are not depleting data from your allowance when not in use. You can do this by tapping Settings>Cellular>Scroll down to all the downloaded applications and disable data for applications.
    Additionally, you also have the option of disabling data in Settings>Cellular when you're not using data or connected to Wi-Fi.
    Lastly, you may view the data usage sessions for that line online at My Verizon to determine when data is used the most. http://bit.ly/xB4iTc Keep us posted.

  • How do i figure it out what app use the cellular data in standby mode?

    How do i figure it out what app use the cellular data in standby mode? I disabled the cellular data for 3 days, and my battery last longer. I don't use push notifications, neither location services. I'm not signed in in skype or any IM app.

    Do you use push email?  Do you have accounts that have synchronized calendars associated with them?  Those features will still use cellular data in the background as the receive mail and send or receive calendar updates.
    Some notifications, like push notifications from Facebook and other social networking sites may use cellular data in the background.  Basically, any automated data task like those may use cellular data when the phone is in standby (note that wifi would be used if available when the phone is active, but wifi turns off in standby and all data goes through the cellular data connection).

  • I have a MacBook Air and for what ever reason, the print settings have gone out of whack. I am not sure how to set to print a normal A4 paper size or a standard envelope. These settings were working O.K., but not now

    I have a MacBook Air and for what ever reason the print settings for envelopes and normal A4 paper size changed from printing correctly each time I wished to print. Now, each time I wish to print either, I have to rest paper size and or Envelope vertical or horizontal. Can anyone assist with how to reset in order to print correctly without the need to rest each time please?

    Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
    If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

  • I have multiple apple devices mainly used between me and my wife , my question is that can i have two sets of contacts backed up to icloud one for her devices and one for my devices using the same itunes account

    i have two sets of devices one ipad, iphone and mac which i use and one iphone ipad and mac which my wife uses
    now is it possible to have two sets of contacts and calendar synchronised for her devices and one for my devices using the same icloud account
    i dont want a separate itunes account as we use the same music books and apps to be automatically downloaded which is very convenient
    please guide

    You can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device).  There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.

  • Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab?

    Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab? When there was support for Google Toolbar, I was able to do this; now, whenever I want to search for something, I have to open a new tab to do it, and cut-and-paste my search into the search field in the new tab. I used to be able to highlight, drag, and drop something into the search field and have it automatically open in a new tab. This is enough for me to switch to Chrome . . .

    Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
    #in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
    #close the about:config tab and test
    #See:

    About Google toolbar............
    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

  • Search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help

    Hi,
    I’m trying to create a generic search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help. It should working so, that I construct a Web Dynpro-component, that gets the data of the search help from the SAP-system, interpreted it and creates the ui-elements and the needed context generic.
    The mapping between the Input field of the customerview and the right search help is to be made with an xml-file, which contains the information: name of the view, the input field, the search-help-name and the name of the field that will be returned.
    The xml-file is reading from a helper-class. That helper-class contains any information, witch need the search help-component as well as the customer-component.
    The initialization takes place in the method wdDoModify of the customer. The call of the search help from the customer should be implement with an Action, witch is bound to a Button(create dynamic in the helper-class behind the input field).
    In a second foot should be create a plugin for eclipse, witch insert the used files (search help component, helper class, …) in the project. In addition it should create the call in the customer generic.
    It would be great if someone can give me a feedback!

    Hi Mike,
    The BlanketAgreement.exe is a reference to the executable that will be created when you compile the solution you created in Part II - Part III. I think there is a mistake in the tutorial because it asks you to name the project 'Blanket' which means that by default the executable will be called Blanket.exe and not BlanketAgreement.exe. The tutorial also misses the step asking you to compile the Blanket project before you go on to create an installer. You should compile your Blanket project in Release mode before creating an installer. By compiling the project you'll get a Blanket.exe file in the bin folder of your Blanket project which you then need to add to the installer per the instructions.
    SAP do offer development courses in some areas and there is training material here on the SDN and on the SAP partner portal (and maybe the customer portal as well). Try searching this forum for 'training' or 'tutorial' and you should get a few links. There's also a development certification.
    Personally I'd recommend you give yourself a little project to work on and just get stuck in
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • What is using the memory? help please.

    i just noticed that in the bottom of my finder it says i only have 7.42 gb available. i do have a lot of photos and music on my computer, but i have taken off things like garage band, which i never use.
    i feel like 7.42 is very little, and i am wondering if there is a way to see what is using the memory (and how much each application is using). i just have an ibook g4 and i didn't get anything added to it when i bought it, i am just worried i have a bug eating my memory.
    any suggestions?

    Hi annamaria,
    WhatSize will show you the size of every file/folder on your computer. Photos can take up a lot of space especially if you have the individual files and have imported them into iPhoto. In that case you have two of each.
    It's doubtful there's any bug taking the hard drive space. Over time we just accumulate more and more and slowly run out of space.
