Is it viable to use Java reflection for serialization/deserialization?

I have quite a bit of experience with C# and .Net reflection, and have written my own serialization/deserializaiton module based on using .Net reflection to analyze the objects and their members.

Now I'd like to know if similar techniques are feasible with Java, and specifically the Java that Android implements.

References to existing articles or open source projects that do this sort of thing would be most welcome.
