Transferring ByteArray through Parcel returns NullPointerException

import android.os.Parcel;
import android.os.Parcelable;

public class MClass implements Parcelable {
    private byte[] _byte;

    public MClass() {
    }

    public MClass(Parcel in) {
        readFromParcel(in);
    }


    public byte[] get_byte() {
        return _byte;
    }

    public void set_byte(byte[] _byte) {
        this._byte = _byte;
    }

    public int describeContents() {
        return 0;
    }

    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
        dest.writeByteArray(_byte);
    }

    public void readFromParcel(Parcel in) {
        in.readByteArray(_byte); //LOE - Line Of Exception
    }

    public static final Parcelable.Creator CREATOR = new Parcelable.Creator() {
        public MClass createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
            return new MClass(in);
        }

        public MClass[] newArray(int size) {
            return new MClass[size];
        }
    };

}

Whenever I am going to retrieve the bytes in my following array it is returning exception of NullPointerException. Can any one say what is the problem? What I am trying to do is to transfer a downloaded image bytes from one activity to another.
