Json – Error inflating class fragment when changing my data class

My app is working fine when using the data class that i’m currently using from an online exercise:
https://android-kotlin-fun-mars-server.appspot.com/.
But when I try to change it to my own data class and json file (https://opendata.visitflanders.org/tourist/activities/breweries.json) i get this error:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

etc.
This is the data class that works fine:

@Parcelize
data class MarsProperty (
        val id: String,
        // used to map img_src from the JSON to imgSrcUrl in our class
        @Json(name = "img_src") val imgSrcUrl: String,
        val type: String,
        val price: Double) : Parcelable {
    val isRental
        get() = type == "rent"
}

This is the one i’m trying to use:

data class MarsProperty (
    val Name: String,
    val imagesURL: String,
    val street: String,
    val city_name: String,
    val phone: String
    )

My OverviewFragment

class OverviewFragment : Fragment() {

    private val viewModel: OverviewViewModel by lazy {
        ViewModelProvider(this).get(OverviewViewModel::class.java)
    }

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
                              savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
        val binding = FragmentOverviewBinding.inflate(inflater)

        binding.lifecycleOwner = this

        binding.viewModel = viewModel

        binding.photosGrid.adapter = PhotoGridAdapter(PhotoGridAdapter.OnClickListener {
            viewModel.displayPropertyDetails(it)
        })

        viewModel.navigateToSelectedProperty.observe(this, Observer {
            if ( null != it ) {
                // Must find the NavController from the Fragment
                this.findNavController().navigate(OverviewFragmentDirections.actionShowDetail(it))
                // Tell the ViewModel we've made the navigate call to prevent multiple navigation
                viewModel.displayPropertyDetailsComplete()
            }
        })

        return binding.root
    }
}

My OverviewViewModel

class OverviewViewModel : ViewModel() {

    private val _properties = MutableLiveData<List<MarsProperty>>()

    val properties: LiveData<List<MarsProperty>>
        get() = _properties

    private val _navigateToSelectedProperty = MutableLiveData<MarsProperty>()
    val navigateToSelectedProperty: LiveData<MarsProperty>
        get() = _navigateToSelectedProperty

    init {
        getMarsRealEstateProperties()
    }

    private fun getMarsRealEstateProperties() {
        viewModelScope.launch {
            try {
                _properties.value = MarsApi.retrofitService.getProperties()
            } catch (e: Exception) {
                _properties.value = ArrayList()
            }
        }
    }

    fun displayPropertyDetails(marsProperty: MarsProperty) {
        _navigateToSelectedProperty.value = marsProperty
    }

    fun displayPropertyDetailsComplete() {
        _navigateToSelectedProperty.value = null
    }
}

    You are using a part of the data that you are using but making a data class of only the require parts is not a good idea.
    Create a data class for the whole response and it should work.
    There is a plugin for converting the response to a data class.

    Go to Settings -> Plugins -> Marketplace -> JSON To Kotlin Class
    Plugin for converting the data class

    Your new MarsProperty class does not implement the Parcelable interface and does not have the @Parcelize annotation. I guess it can be an issue as the Navigation Component does not support passing such classes as destination arguments – they have to meet some requirements.

    Just implement Parcelable and add @Parcelize annotation.

    @Parcelize
data class MarsProperty: Parcelable (
    val Name: String,
    val imagesURL: String,
    val street: String,
    val city_name: String,
    val phone: String
)

    Your data class must implement Serializable or Parcelable to pass arguments in Navigation Component.
