How to use @Parcelize now that kotlin-android-extensions is being deprecated?
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
First you will need to add kotlin-parcelize
plugin to your module.
plugins {
..
id 'kotlin-parcelize'
}
Then change your old import statement from
import kotlinx.android.parcel.Parcelize
to
import kotlinx.parcelize.Parcelize

With Groovy
build.gradle
(project level)
dependencies {
// .... project level dependencies
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.20-RC"
}
build.gradle
(app level)
plugins {
...
id 'kotlin-parcelize'
}
and the data class
import android.os.Parcelable
import kotlinx.parcelize.Parcelize
@Parcelize
class User(
val firstName: String,
val lastName: String,
val age: Int
): Parcelable
you can find the latest version here https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.parcelize
- kotlin-android-extensions is deprecated so replace it from kotlin-parcelize
- If there is @Parcelize annotation used for model classes so you have to replace its import from kotlinx.android.parcel.Parcelize to import kotlinx.parcelize.Parcelize
