[FIXED] Android getParcelableExtra deprecated

Issue

I am passing data via intent with Parcelable and receiving using getParcelableExtra . However getParcelableExtra seems to be deprecated, How do I fix the deprecation warning in this code? Alternatively, are there any other options for doing this? . I am using compileSdkVersion 33.

Code snippet:

 var data = intent.getParcelableExtra("data")

Solution

Here are two extension methods that I use for Bundle & Intent:

inline fun <reified T : Parcelable> Intent.parcelable(key: String): T? = when {
  SDK_INT >= 33 -> getParcelableExtra(key, T::class.java)
  else -> @Suppress("DEPRECATION") getParcelableExtra(key) as? T
}

inline fun <reified T : Parcelable> Bundle.parcelable(key: String): T? = when {
  SDK_INT >= 33 -> getParcelable(key, T::class.java)
  else -> @Suppress("DEPRECATION") getParcelable(key) as? T
}

I also requested this to be added to the support library

And if you need the ArrayList support there is:

inline fun <reified T : Parcelable> Bundle.parcelableArrayList(key: String): ArrayList<T>? = when {
  SDK_INT >= 33 -> getParcelableArrayList(key, T::class.java)
  else -> @Suppress("DEPRECATION") getParcelableArrayList(key)
}

inline fun <reified T : Parcelable> Intent.parcelableArrayList(key: String): ArrayList<T>? = when {
  SDK_INT >= 33 -> getParcelableArrayListExtra(key, T::class.java)
  else -> @Suppress("DEPRECATION") getParcelableArrayListExtra(key)
}
