Kotlin AndroidStudio Type Mismatch

Question

I get some error in my code, Type mismatch. Required : FavoriteData, Found : FavoriteData? for the lines dataFavorite = activity!!.intent.getParcelableExtra(EXTRA_NOTE) as FavoriteData and Type mismatch. Required : UserData, Found : UserData? for the lines dataUser = activity!!.intent.getParcelableExtra(EXTRA_DATA) as UserData.

Here is my class :

class FollowersFragment : Fragment() {

private var listUser: ArrayList<UserData> = ArrayList()
private lateinit var adapter: FollowersAdapter
private var favorite: FavoriteData? = null
private lateinit var dataFavorite: FavoriteData
private lateinit var dataUser: UserData
private lateinit var progressBarFollowers: ProgressBar
private lateinit var recyclerViewFollowers: RecyclerView

companion object {
    private val TAG = FollowersFragment::class.java.simpleName
    const val EXTRA_DATA = "extra_data"
    const val EXTRA_NOTE = "extra_note"
}

override fun onCreateView(
    inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
    savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_followers, container, false)
}

override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    progressBarFollowers = getView()!!.findViewById(R.id.progressBarFollowers)
    recyclerViewFollowers = getView()!!.findViewById(R.id.recyclerViewFollowers)

    adapter = FollowersAdapter(listUser)
    listUser.clear()

    favorite = activity!!.intent.getParcelableExtra(UserDetailActivity.EXTRA_NOTE)
    if (favorite != null) {
        dataFavorite = activity!!.intent.getParcelableExtra(EXTRA_NOTE) as FavoriteData
        showUserFollowers(dataFavorite.username.toString())
    } else {
        dataUser = activity!!.intent.getParcelableExtra(EXTRA_DATA) as UserData
        showUserFollowers(dataUser.username.toString())
    }

}

private fun showUserFollowers(id: String) {
    progressBarFollowers.visibility = View.VISIBLE

}

private fun showRecyclerList() {

    val listAdapter = FollowersAdapter(followerFilter)
    recyclerViewFollowers.adapter = adapter

    listAdapter.setOnItemClickCallback(object : FollowersAdapter.OnItemClickCallback{
        override fun onItemClicked(UserData: UserData) {

        }
    })
}

}

I dont understand how to fix this, thanks for your attention :)

Answer 1

I'm just taking one example out of your question:

You have declared:

private lateinit var dataFavorite: FavoriteData

which means that FavoriteData can't be assined a null value.

So when you fetch a data from parcelable it can be null for some reason so it gives you a type FavoriteData? which is nullable that can't be assigned directly.

There are 2 ways you can solve this

1.) Add Non-Null assertion (!!) which will throw NullPointter if the data is NULL

dataFavorite = (intent.getParcelableExtra(YOUR_KEY) as FavoriteData?)!!

2.) Make your variable Nullable

private var dataFavorite: FavoriteData? = null

Assign as

dataFavorite = intent.getParcelableExtra("") as FavoriteData?

Choose according to your use case and do the same for others as well
