try this, you can also get object from one activity to another activity using ComplexPrefereces class
Add ComplexPreferences.java class in your project

Store object in shared preference like this:
ComplexPreferences complexPreferences = ComplexPreferences.getComplexPreferences(getActivity(), "store_object", 0);
complexPreferences.putObject("class_name", className);
complexPreferences.commit();
For retrieving back object like this:
ComplexPreferences complexPreferences = ComplexPreferences.getComplexPreferences(DrawerActivity.this, "store_object", 0);
ClassName className=complexPreferences.getObject("class_name", ClassName.class);
