androidkotlinannotationsparcelable

How to use @Parcelize now that kotlin-android-extensions is being deprecated?


How do I replace annotation class Parcelize from package kotlinx.android.parcel with @Parcelize which is not coming from the kotlin-android-extensions plugin?


Solution

  • This should be the new plugin: https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.parcelize

    If using Plugins DSL you can use the plugin ID in submodules. Make sure that the latest Kotlin Android plugin is available from the project's classpath.

    // project build.gradle
    plugins {
        ..
        id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.4.20" apply false
    }
    
    // app build.gradle
    plugins {
        ..
        id 'kotlin-parcelize'
    }
    

    When using kts you can write ->

    // project build.gradle.kts
    plugins {
        ..
        kotlin("android") version "1.4.20" apply false
    }
    
    // app build.gradle.kts
    plugins {
        ..
        id("kotlin-parcelize")
    }
    

    --- OR Legacy Plugin Application ---

    Step 1. Update to latest kotlin version - 1.4.20 and replace

    apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

    with this ->

    apply plugin: 'kotlin-parcelize'
    

    Step 2. Remove this code from the android {}

    androidExtensions {
        experimental = true
    }
    

    Step 3. Finally, replace old import ->

    import kotlinx.android.parcel.Parcelize
    

    with new import

    import kotlinx.parcelize.Parcelize
