Casting ArrayList<File> into java.io.File Error

I have an ArrayList of Images

private final ArrayList<File> images;

It seems when I recreate the images from the Bundle I get the ClassCastException:

public DocumentJob(@Nullable ArrayList<File> images) {
    this.images = images;
}

public DocumentJob(Bundle bundle) {
    this.images = (ArrayList<File>) bundle.getSerializable(BundleKeys.FILENAMES.name());
}

 @Override
public Bundle createBundle() {
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putSerializable(BundleKeys.FILENAMES.name(), images);
    return bundle;
}

The logs show that the error comes when I try to actually use the list itself after it is recreated from the Bundle:

    @Override
public void callRestApi(RestApi restApi, RestApiJobService.ApiRequestor apiRequestor) {

    File image = images.get(0); //This is the error line
}

But then I get an Exception with a message:

So basically the answer here was to use ArrayList<String> imagePaths instead of the images themselves and then once they are unbundeled, get the images back using those paths.

private ArrayList<String> imagePaths;

    @Override
public Bundle createBundle() {
    bundle.putStringArrayList(BundleKeys.FILENAMES.name(), imagePaths);
    ...

public InstallationDocumentJob(Bundle bundle) {
    this.imagePaths = bundle.getStringArrayList(BundleKeys.FILENAMES.name());
    ArrayList<File> imageList = new ArrayList<>();
    assert imagePaths != null;
    for (String imagePath: imagePaths) {
        if (imagePath != null) {
            imageList.add(new File(imagePath));
        }
    }
    this.images = imageList;
}

I am not sure if this is the completely correct approach, but it seems to do the trick.
