The Android Parcel Project

The Android Parcel Project was a CommonsWare initiative to foster the creation of reusable Android components. It consisted of two major pieces:

• A packaging system for "parcels" and tools for creating and deploying them. This was a miserable failure.
• Tips for how to create reusable components that would not collide with project files (e.g., resources) or other components. This was less of a failure.

For the advice on how to create reusable components, see The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development.
