can someone point me on how I can extend a data class? as per the documentation

Since 1.1, data classes may extend other classes

.? I am trying to achieve

data class Person(val name: String)
data class Employee(val id: String, val name:String) : Person(name)

data classes may extend other classes, but they may not extend other data classes. Data classes are always final

could I do something like this then?

open class Person(val name: String)

data class Employee(val id: String, val name:String) : Person(name)

you can't have the

name

property twice

👍

Or sealed class instead of interface when you fancy

when

without

else

.

Also I am using it in Android where I have to have a “Parcelable” implementation

Writing parcelables by hand?

using the IDE plugin to do that. not using libs like paper parcel.

why not use PaperParcel there?
