In Koltin

Add kotlin extension in your build.gradle.

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

android {
    androidExtensions {
        experimental = true
   }
}

Then create your data class like this.

@Parcelize
data class Sample(val id: Int, val name: String) : Parcelable

Pass Object with Intent

val sample = Sample(1,"naveen")

val intent = Intent(context, YourActivity::class.java)
    intent.putExtra("id", sample)
    startActivity(intent)

Get object with intent

val sample = intent.getParcelableExtra("id")
