NoSuchMethodError using @Parcelize Annotation in Kotlin

Question

I'm currently trying out the experimental (which might be why it's not working...) @Parcelize annotation to generate Parcelable code. Most types seem to be working fine, but I'm having issues with Serializables throwing a NoSuchMethodError:

   10-05 13:55:18.549 20808-20808/com.app E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
   Process: com.app, PID: 20808
   java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method writeSerializable(Ljava/util/Date;)V in class Landroid/os/Parcel;
   or its super classes (declaration of 'android.os.Parcel' appears in /system/framework/framework.jar)

I know I could fix this by changing the Date objects to Strings, but would rather not. Has anyone else run into this issue that could provide a viable workaround other than using Strings?

If needed, here's the implementation for reference:

@Parcelize
data class Job(val id: String,
               val description: String,
               val state: String,
               val job_type: String?,
               val close_on: Date?,
               val posted_on: Date?) : Parcelable

Which Kotlin version are you using? – Pronate

1.1.4, which was my issue after futher research. – Macmullin

Answer 1

Didn't find anything on SO, so rather than deleting I'll leave it here for reference incase anyone else runs into it. It looks like this has been logged as a bug that affects 1.1.4 and 1.1.50. (I was using 1.1.4).

Looks like it's been fixed for versions 1.1.6 and above.

Still have this issue. How did you fix it? 1.1.6 doesn't seem to be available yet. – Crotchety
