`int`	`CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` Descriptor bit used with `describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
`int`	`PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE` Flag for use with `writeToParcel(Parcel, int)`: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`".

Fields
`public static final Creator<View.BaseSavedState>`	`CREATOR`

Inherited fields

From class android.view.AbsSavedState

`public static final Creator<AbsSavedState>`	`CREATOR`
`public static final AbsSavedState`	`EMPTY_STATE`

Public constructors
`BaseSavedState(Parcel source)` Constructor used when reading from a parcel.
`BaseSavedState(Parcel source, ClassLoader loader)` Constructor used when reading from a parcel using a given class loader.
`BaseSavedState(Parcelable superState)` Constructor called by derived classes when creating their SavedState objects

Public methods
`void`	`writeToParcel(Parcel out, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Inherited methods

From class


        
          android.view.AbsSavedState

`int`	`describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`final Parcelable`	`getSuperState()`

From class


        
          java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

From interface


        
          android.os.Parcelable

`abstract int`	`describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`abstract void`	`writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Added in API level 1

public BaseSavedState (Parcelable superState)

Constructor called by derived classes when creating their SavedState objects

Parameters
`superState`	`Parcelable`: The state of the superclass of this view

Public methods

writeToParcel

Added in API level 1

public void writeToParcel (Parcel out, 
                int flags)
