Parcelables

class Parcelables

Testing utilities for Parcelables.

Summary

Public functions
T
<T : Parcelable?> forceParcel(parcelable: T, creator: Creator<T>)

Parcelables are lazily marshalled, meaning that in typical testing, no marshalling would occur and would therefore go untested.

Public functions

forceParcel

fun <T : Parcelable?> forceParcel(parcelable: T, creator: Creator<T>): T

Parcelables are lazily marshalled, meaning that in typical testing, no marshalling would occur and would therefore go untested. This forces marshalling to happen for a Parcelable.

This utility will marshall the provided Parcelable, and attempt to recreate it with the given CREATOR. It is up to the caller to validate the two instances are equivalent.

Parameters
parcelable: T

the parcelable to marshall.
creator: Creator<T>

the CREATOR field for that parcelable.
Returns
T

a new instance of the parcelable that has been unmarshalled.
