Conclusion
This Kotlin on Android tutorial described how to pass a Uri from one Android fragment to another fragment using the Android ViewModel.
Installing the ViewModel library and creating the ViewModel class was straightforward. Then inside each Android fragment, an instance of the ViewModel class was created. And in this Kotlin on Android tutorial, we used the Kotlin lazy delegate value to hold the ViewModel instance.
And then it was just a matter of using the Kotlin style of setting and getting the video Uri value.
This Kotlin on Android tutorial also demonstrated how to replace an Android fragment from inside a fragment.
The following Kotlin tutorial will describe how to playback the captured video using ExoPlayer.
