How would you retrieve a ParseObject which is an attribute of another ParseObject?

Hi.
With this code I can only get attributes of a ParseObject, is there a way to retrieve the ParseObject?

add the following API to parseObject class:

1. change method from package to public:

public static <T extends ParseObject> T fromJSON(JSONObject json, String defaultClassName, boolean isComplete) {
//...
}

2. add toJSONObject method:

public JSONObject toJSONObject(){
        return toRest(new ParseEncoder() {
            // see OfflineStore
            @Override
            protected JSONObject encodeRelatedObject(ParseObject object) {
                try {
                    if (object.getObjectId() != null) {
                        JSONObject result = new JSONObject();
                        result.put("__type", "Pointer");
                        result.put("objectId", object.getObjectId());
                        result.put("className", object.getClassName());
                        return result;
                    }
                } catch (JSONException e) {
                    // This can literally never happen.
                    throw new RuntimeException(e);
                }
                return new JSONObject();
            }
        });
    }

3. sender

ParseObject p = ...;
Fragment f = new ChatFragment();
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString("CONNECTION", p.toJSONObject().toString());
f.setArguments(b);

4. receiver

JSONObject object = new JSONObject(b.getString("CONNECTION")); // same as bundle key
ParseObject mConnection = ParseObject.fromJSON(object, "CONNECTION", true); // change class name
