Android crash when try to open browser(or any other implicit intent) intent

Question

I am trying to open browser intent from my application on the click of a button. I am getting the following crash for the browser application:

The Parcelable class is:

public class JMatadataBean implements Parcelable {

    private String              publisherRelation;
    private PublisherBean       publisherBean;
    private List<String>        keywordBeanList;


    public JournalMatadataBean() {
        super();
        keywordBeanList = new ArrayList<String>();
    }

    public JournalMatadataBean(Parcel source) {
        this();
        publisherRelation = source.readString();
        publisherBean = source.readParcelable(PublisherBean.class.getClassLoader());
        source.readList(keywordBeanList, String.class.getClassLoader());
    }

    public String getPublisherRelation() {
        return publisherRelation;
    }

    public void setPublisherRelation(String publisherRelation) {
        this.publisherRelation = publisherRelation;
    }

    public PublisherBean getPublisherBean() {
        return publisherBean;
    }

    public void setPublisherBean(PublisherBean publisherBean) {
        this.publisherBean = publisherBean;
    }

    public List<String> getKeywordBeanList() {
        return keywordBeanList;
    }
    public void addKeywordToList(String keyword) {
        this.keywordBeanList.add(keyword);
    }


    @Override
    public int describeContents() {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
        dest.writeString(publisherRelation);
        dest.writeParcelable(publisherBean, flags);
        dest.writeList(keywordBeanList);
    }

public static final Creator<JournalMatadataBean> CREATOR = new Creator<JournalMatadataBean>() {

        @Override
        public JournalMatadataBean[] newArray(int size) {
            return new JournalMatadataBean[size];
        }

        @Override
        public JournalMatadataBean createFromParcel(Parcel source) {
            return new JournalMatadataBean(source);
        }
    };

    }

Also I am trying to open other implicit intent(Like making call, open camera, email) the same crash(android.os.BadParcelableException: ClassNotFoundException when unmarshalling) will be reported each time.

It says `ClassNotFoundException when unmarshalling: xtext.beans.JMatadataBean`. Is the application obfuscated? Or, probably, the receiver app just does not have that class? — 18446744073709551615, Feb 05 '15 at 10:47
The receiver app is the browser app(or any other implicit intent) — user1041858, Feb 05 '15 at 11:05

I override the startActivity() method to pass the data among all activities(Something like global variable) like this:

@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
    JMatadataBean jMatadataBean = getIntent().getParcelableExtra(KEY_CURRENT_JOURNAL);
    if (jMatadataBean != null) {
        intent.putExtra(KEY_CURRENT_JOURNAL, jMatadataBean);
    }
    Bundle bundle = getIntent().getBundleExtra(KEY_VOL_BUNDLE);
    intent.putExtra(KEY_VOL_BUNDLE, bundle);
    super.startActivity(intent);
}

But now I am using startActivityForResult() rather then startActivity() to start the browser intent and its working fine.
