Kotlin - IllegalArgumentException: Parameter specified as non-null is null

Viewed 5382

I am passing data to some fragment in bundle and while receiving it throws the exception. This error occurs while restoring Fragment's state.

Error occurs in Intrinsics.checkParameterIsNotNull when createFromParcel is called. This happen with all non-nullable fields in Model.

Caused by java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter specified as non-null is null: method kotlin.jvm.b.h.b, parameter realtorImageUrl

Property.kt

@Parcelize
data class Property(
    ...
    @Json(name = "RealtorImageUrl")
    val realtorImageUrl: String
    ...
) : Parcelable

Kotlin 1.1.4, Android Extensions plugin provides Parcelable implementation generator using @Parcelize.

PropertyListFragment.kt

override fun showPropertyDetails(property: Property) {
    (parentFragment as PropertySearchResultFragment).start(
        PropertyDetailsFragment.newInstance(property)
    )
}

PropertyDetailsFragment.kt

class PropertyDetailsFragment{
    ...
    companion object {
        fun newInstance(property: Property) = PropertyDetailsFragment().withArgs {
            putParcelable(INT_EXTRA_PROPERTY, property)
        }
    }
    ...
}

What do I need to do to fix the issue?

Since the realtorImageUrl is defined not null, so kotlin does not permit to set it to null. Therefore the only possible way to do that is to set the null value by reflection. Json helper libraries are based on annotation processing and using reflection for setting value to the fields, so the problem definitely comes from them.

  • First of all, I highly recommend you to use google Gson.
  • Second, be sure that the json string is not null or empty after configuration changes.
  • Third, be sure that you are using moshi-kotlin (not simple moshi) in dependencies and adding an instance of KotlinJsonAdapterFactory to the moshi builder.

build.gradle:

implementation 'com.squareup.moshi:moshi-kotlin:1.8.0'

Test:

val json = "{\"RealtorImageUrl\": \"http://www.gstatic.com/tv/thumb/persons/667736/667736_v9_ba.jpg\"}"

val moshi = Moshi.Builder()
        .add(KotlinJsonAdapterFactory()) // com.squareup.moshi.kotlin.reflect.KotlinJsonAdapterFactory
        .build()

val jsonAdapter = moshi.adapter(Property::class.java) as JsonAdapter<Property>
val property = jsonAdapter.fromJson(json) as Property

supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
        .replace(R.id.container, PropertyDetailsFragment.newInstance(property))
        .commit()

It is better to use withArguments from anko to put arguments for the fragment:

PropertyDetailsFragment.kt:

class PropertyDetailsFragment : Fragment() {

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)

        val property = arguments?.getParcelable(KEY_EXTRA_PROPERTY) as Property
        val realtorImageUrl = property.realtorImageUrl
    }

    companion object {
        private const val KEY_EXTRA_PROPERTY = "KEY_EXTRA_PROPERTY"

        fun newInstance(property: Property) = PropertyDetailsFragment().withArguments(
                KEY_EXTRA_PROPERTY to property
        )
    }
}

Well, this might not be the perfect solution but it can solve your issue. You can make your property nullable and just add a null check whenever you access them.

Just initialize you variable like this

Property.kt

@Parcelize
data class Property(
    ...
    @Json(name = "RealtorImageUrl")
    val realtorImageUrl: String
    ...
) : Parcelable

PropertyListFragment.kt

override fun showPropertyDetails(property: Property?) {
    (parentFragment as PropertySearchResultFragment).start(
        PropertyDetailsFragment.newInstance(property)
    )
}

And in PropertyDetailsFragment.kt

class PropertyDetailsFragment{
    ...
    companion object {
        fun newInstance(property: Property?) = PropertyDetailsFragment().withArgs {
            property?.let{
                putParcelable(INT_EXTRA_PROPERTY, property)
            }
        }
    }
    ...
}

Can u try using @field:Json(name = "RealtorImageUrl") and check if it works then?

Also, check if you have added proper factory KotlinJsonAdapterFactory()

 val moshi = Moshi.Builder()
    .add(KotlinJsonAdapterFactory())
    .build()
