[Question] Why the generated constructor is protected rather than private?

[kostovtd]

I'm a long-time user of this plugin for Android Studio. Great job!

Just a small question - in the official Android Documentation, the example of how the Parcelable interface should be used is slightly different than the generated code by your plugin.

In the official example, the POJO's constructor is private, while the one generated by your plugin is protected. Is there any specific reason for this?

Yes, good question. I think I’ve done it to allow inheritance of Parcelable objects.
