Serialization deserialization data class in kotlin example

Now I have my own blog.

If you want to pass custom data object from one activity to another in kotlin and for that purpose you need to serialize and deserialize data class.

Declare your data class like this

data class Albums(var folderNames: String, var imagePath: String, var imgCount: Int, var isVideo: Boolean) : Serializable

This is how you pass serialized data from one activity to another in kotlin

intent.putExtra("image_url_data", imagesList as Serializable)
startActivity(intent)

// imagesList variable is type ArrayList<Albums>

Now you want to receive this data class object in second activity and want to deserialize it. This is how you will do this.

var listOfImages = intent.extras.get("image_url_data") as ArrayList<Albums>

Back to topic :) I recommend you to use parcelable instead of serializable.
