Hello. I have a very simple class which stores 2 Strings and manipulates them in certain ways and it was previously Parcelable. I'd like to move that class to the shared module but i am uncertain how to then pass the instance of that object via Bundles / Intents on Android as i currently am. What is the best practice in that regard ?

Between activities or composables??

[AndreiBogdan]

activities

[ayodele]

You should pass the data instead into the activities then retrieve them for your class to use

[ayodele]

Or must you pass the entire class??

[AndreiBogdan]

i want to pass the entire instance of that class. the code's already implemented, i was hoping not to change it. for this specific case, with the 2 strings, it would be simple, yes, but for more complex classes containing multiple data types ... i think there might be some sort of mechanism to do it ...

You can use the kotlin-parcelize plugin, with an expect/actual (and typealias) to isolate the annotation over on Android

hmm, i will look into what you said. thank you !
and i'm guessing this does not affect iOS in any way

[ayodele]

What about injecting it then

[psh]

Also, look at the OptionalExpectation annotation - it will allow you to skip any boiler-plate blank iOS implementation

Thank you very much !
