Easy Parcelable in Kotlin

Parcelable: The lazy coder’s way

@Parcelize
class Item(
    var imageId: Int,
    var title: String,
    var details: String,
    var price: Double,
    var category: Category,
    var postedOn: Long
) : Parcelable

See, easy as that! All you need is just to confirm followings:

• Use @Parcelize annotation on top of your Model / Data class
• Use latest version of Kotlin (v1.1.51 at the time of writing this article)
• Use latest version of Kotlin Android Extensions in your app module, so your build.gradle may look like:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

android {
    ... ... ...
    
    // Add for using latest experimental build of Android Extensions
    androidExtensions {
        experimental = true
    }
}

dependencies {
    ... ... ...
}

Passing the Parcelable

val intent = Intent(this, AnotherActivity::class.java)
intent.putExtra("extra_item", item)

Retrieving the Parcelable

val item = intent.getParcelableExtra("extra_item")
// Do something with the item (example: set Item title and price)

That’s all for now. Stay Lazy and Productive.

Happy coding!!
