serializableObject - The object to encodepublic static String encodeObject(Serializable serializableObject, int options)
Valid options:
   GZIP: gzip-compresses object before encoding it.
   DONT_BREAK_LINES: don't break lines at 76 characters
     Note: Technically, this makes your encoding non-compliant.
 
 
 Example: encodeObject( myObj, Base64.GZIP ) or
