Kotlin Parcelable Array Objects Send To Activity

We know that IPC (Inter Process Communication) between the activity is an extremely important part of any application development. We often required that we need to send some data to other activity. For example, we may be required to send an array of data, data could be an Integer, String, Long, Double, Float or any other custom data objects. So, In this example, we are going to learn how to implement the Kotlin Parcelable Array object to send the data from one activity to second activity. What is Parcel? The parcel class is designed as a high-performance IPC transport. A Parcel can contain both flattened data that will be unflattened on the other side of the IPC, and references to live IBinde r objects that will result in the other side receiving a proxy IBinder connected with the original IBinder in the Parcel. Create Kotlin Parcelable Array Objects Parcelable is API for placing the arbitrary objects into the Parcel. In Actual in android app development, Parcelable is an interface

Create Custom EditText View in Android

We required to do lots of customization for each time and there are lots of redundant code we write.
