Serialize and deserializing objects with no-args constructor problem

serialization

I'm using ECIES in my code for encryption. The example in the provided website works without problem. However, I need a way to convert the keys (public and private keys) to string, serialize and deserialize them, using any tools. However, after trying gson and a few other techniques, yet I cannot serialize and deserialize the keys. Since there are many objects of 3-rd party classes, it is not easy to change the classes.

The code:

    kpg.initialize(ecParams, new SecureRandom());

    cos.close();
    // fis.close();
