Android Parcelable for Kotlin is not working

Question

I am trying to pass data from one fragment to another but I am facing issue with sending data from parcelable from one fragment to another.

 class MainFragment : Fragment() {


    companion object {
        public val KEY_PARSE_DATA = "parseData"
    }

    private var parseData: ParseData? = null

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?,
                              savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        return inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false).apply {
            val editName = findViewById(R.id.edit_Name) as EditText
            val editSurname = findViewById(R.id.edit_Surname) as EditText
            val buttonNext = findViewById(R.id.btn_Next) as Button
            buttonNext.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener {
                val fragment = AnotherFragment()

                if (parseData != null) {
                    var parseData = ParseData(editName.text.toString(), editSurname.text.toString())
                    val fragment = AnotherFragment()
                    val bundle = Bundle()
                    bundle.putParcelable(KEY_PARSE_DATA, parseData)
                    fragment.setArguments(bundle)
                    fragmentManager.beginTransaction().add(R.id.fragment_container, fragment).commitAllowingStateLoss()

                }

            })
        }
    }


}// Required empty public constructor

Parcelable class for implementing it

 @SuppressLint("ParcelCreator")
@Parcelize
data class ParseData(val firstName: String, val lastName: String) : Parcelable {


    constructor(parcel: Parcel) : this(
            parcel.readString(),
            parcel.readString()) {
    }

    override fun toString(): String {
        return "ParseData(firstName='$firstName', lastName='$lastName')"
    }


    companion object : Parceler<ParseData> {

        override fun ParseData.write(parcel: Parcel, flags: Int) {
            parcel.writeString(firstName)
            parcel.writeString(lastName)
        }

        override fun create(parcel: Parcel): ParseData {
            return ParseData(parcel)
        }
    }
}

And another fragment which grab data from parcelable class in android

    class AnotherFragment : Fragment() {

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?,
                              savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        return inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_another, container, false).apply {

            val textName = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.textFirst)
            val textSurname = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.textSecond)
            val bundle = arguments
            if (bundle != null) {
                val parseData = bundle.getParcelable<ParseData>(KEY_PARSE_DATA)
                textName.setText(parseData.firstName)
                textSurname.setText(parseData.lastName)
            }
        }
    }

}

I tried some example but I cant get clear idea how parcelable is implemented in andoid application based on kotlin and build.gradle file

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.assignment.ankitt.kotlinsecond"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

androidExtensions {
    experimental = true
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:$kotlin_version"
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}

Hello All I had solved this question and there was issue with fragment transaction and parcelable

MainActivity to setup fragment

    class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    val manager = supportFragmentManager

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        val fragment = DetailFragment()
        manager.findFragmentById(R.id.fragmentContainer)
        manager.beginTransaction().add(R.id.fragmentContainer, fragment).commit()
    }
}

First fragment to fill data

 class DetailFragment : Fragment(), View.OnClickListener {

    var editTextName: EditText? = null
    var editTextLast: EditText? = null
    var buttonNextFragment: Button? = null
    var firstName: String? = null
    var lastName: String? = null

    companion object {
        val KEY_PARSE_DATA = "detailData"
    }

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?,
                              savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {

        val view: View = inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_detail, container, false)
        editTextName = view.findViewById(R.id.ed_firstName) as EditText
        editTextLast = view.findViewById(R.id.ed_lastName) as EditText
        buttonNextFragment = view.findViewById(R.id.btn_nextfragment) as Button
        buttonNextFragment!!.setOnClickListener(this)
        return view
    }

    override fun onClick(v: View?) {
        firstName = editTextName!!.text.toString()
        lastName = editTextLast!!.text.toString()
        Toast.makeText(context, firstName, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
//        val viewFragment = ViewFragment()
//        val transaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
//        transaction.replace(R.id.fragmentContainer, viewFragment)
//        transaction.commit()

        var details = Details(firstName!!, lastName!!)
        val viewFragment = ViewFragment()
        val bundle = Bundle()
        bundle.putParcelable(KEY_PARSE_DATA, details)
        viewFragment.setArguments(bundle)
        val transaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
        transaction.replace(R.id.fragmentContainer, viewFragment)
        transaction.commit()
    }
}

Display data coming from parcelable

    class ViewFragment : Fragment() {

    var textViewName: TextView? = null
    var textViewLastName: TextView? = null

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?,
                              savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
        val view: View = inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_view, container, false)

        textViewName = view.findViewById(R.id.text_name_another) as TextView
        textViewLastName = view.findViewById(R.id.text_surname_another) as TextView

        val bundle = arguments
        if (bundle != null) {
            val details = bundle.getParcelable<Details>(KEY_PARSE_DATA)
            textViewName!!.setText(details.firstName)
            textViewLastName!!.setText(details.lastName)
        }


        return view
    }

}

Model class for implementation of parcelable

    @Parcelize
class Details(val firstName: String, val lastName: String) : Parcelable

and my gradle file

    android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.assignment.ankitt.kotlintwo"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    androidExtensions {
        experimental = true
    }
}

Solution 2

Add below code into your App Level gradle.

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

androidExtensions {
    experimental = true
}

Solution 3

Now it is enough to add 'kotlin-parcelize' plugin. So for example:

 plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'kotlin-android'
id 'kotlin-parcelize'

}

Solution 4

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

android {
    //

    androidExtensions {
        experimental = true
    }

}

The order of plugin matters. kotlin-android must be before kotlin-android-extension. Then clean project. Unable to add kotlin android extension

Solution 5

I'd recommend taking a look at the @Parcelize annotation provided with the Kotlin Android Extensions, it generates all necessary boilerplate for you so you don't have to write and maintain that code yourself.

Thanks it helped me out

[droide_91]

I would not recommend using functionality that is still in experimental mode for production apps: experimental-mode

[Ashim Kansal]

i did the same , i added all three plugins and androidExtensions but still import is throughing an error

[Ankit Tale]

This plugin is by default generated apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions' @Rajneesh
