In Android app development, it is often necessary to pass data between different fragments within an activity. This can be achieved using the Bundle class, which allows you to store key-value pairs of data and pass them between fragments.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to use an extension function in Kotlin to simplify the process of passing data between fragments using Bundles. We will start by creating two fragments and defining the data we want to pass between them. Then, we will create the extension function that will handle the data passing.
We will also cover how to retrieve the data in the receiving fragment, and how to handle cases where the data is null or empty. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a clear understanding of how to pass data between fragments using Bundles in Kotlin.
