I'm using XStream to serialize some objects to XML, and am facing a problem with Enums. The exception I get when I try to serialize the object: "ObjectAccessException: invalid final field java.lang.Enum.name".
Apparently, this is a problem with the reflection API implementation in android: It doesn't treat final fields correctly. This problem actually existed in past implementations of the official Sun (Oracle) JDK.
Can you confirm/refute this is the problem with Android? Can you suggest any other serialization API that could be used in this situation?
