Great! I see code is greatly simplified, thank you!

Looks good to me and works, I tested restoring from RAM on Android 4.4 and 7.0 :-D
Thank you ;-)

I just found out that Parcelize is part of the Kotlin Android Extensions compiler plugin and this plugin is deprecated starting from Kotlin 1.4.20 (NewPipe uses 1.4.10 currently). But there is a standalone plugin for it (kotlin-parcelize). Here). is an article about it. @Isira-Seneviratne

Thanks, I'll create a PR with the necessary changes when 1.4.20 is released.

@Isira-Seneviratne Can you run the ErrorInfoTest?
For me it always fails at gradle :app:compileDebugAndroidTestJavaWithJavac, with

error: incompatible types: Object cannot be converted to ErrorInfo
        final ErrorInfo infoFromParcel = ErrorInfo.CREATOR.createFromParcel(parcel);

At first i thought it was because i was using windows, but this time it also failed in a CI action

kotlin 1.4.20 seems to fix this
