Android kotlin: putParcelableArrayList(ArrayList<int>) and getParcelableArrayList<Int>() wont work

I am trying to pass ArrayList<Integer> from fragment to another fragment, here is my code:

Kotlin code

companion object {
    fun newInstance(categoryId: Int, brandsList: ArrayList<Int>): Fragment {
        val fragment = CategoryAllAdsFragment()
        fragment.arguments = Bundle()
        fragment.arguments!!.putInt(Constant.CATEGORY_ID, categoryId)
        fragment.arguments!!.putParcelableArrayList(Constant.BRANDS_LIST, brandsList)
        return fragment
but it says:
  
Type mismatch.
  
Required: java.util.ArrayList !
  
Found: kotlin.collections.ArrayList /* = java.util.ArrayList */
The same thing when I was trying to read it.
Kotlin code
try {
    val brandsList = arguments!!.getParcelableArrayList<Int>(Constant.BRANDS_LIST)
} catch (ex: Exception) {
    throw Exception("brand list cannot be null")
It says:
  
Type argument is not within its bounds
  
Expected: Parcelable!
  
Found: Int
I've tested it with Java and its work fine.
You can make a general Parcelable class that contains a variable of type (Any)
class BaseParcelable : Parcelable {
    var value: Any
    constructor(value: Any) {
        this.value = value
    constructor(parcel: Parcel) {
        this.value = Any()
    override fun writeToParcel(dest: Parcel?, flags: Int) {}
    override fun describeContents(): Int = 0
    companion object CREATOR : Parcelable.Creator<BaseParcelable> {
        override fun createFromParcel(parcel: Parcel): BaseParcelable {
            return BaseParcelable(parcel)
        override fun newArray(size: Int): Array<BaseParcelable?> {
            return arrayOfNulls(size)
Then use this class to pass data between fragments or between (Activty to Fragment)
To pass list from fragment to fragment for example:
companion object {
    fun newInstance(categoryId: Int, brandsList: ArrayList<Int>): Fragment {
       val fragment = CategoryAllAdsFragment()
       fragment.arguments = Bundle()
       fragment.arguments!!.putInt(Constant.CATEGORY_ID, categoryId)
       fragment.arguments!!.putParcelable(Constant.BRANDS_LIST, BaseParcelable(brandsList))
       return fragment
To get the list:
val any = arguments?.getParcelable<BaseParcelable>(Constant.BRANDS_LIST).value
val list = any as ArrayList<Int>
                Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Object cannot be cast to java.util.ArrayList

putIntegerArrayList(String key, ArrayList value) 
  
Inserts an ArrayList value into the mapping of this Bundle, replacing any
  existing value for the given key
putIntegerArrayList(Constant.BRANDS_LIST, array)
And get like
  
getIntegerArrayList(String key)
  
Returns the value associated with the given key, or null if no mapping
  of the desired type exists for the given key or a null value is
  explicitly associated with the key.
extras.getIntegerArrayList(Constant.BRANDS_LIST)
                the extras.getIntArray(Constant.BRANDS_LIST) maybe will work, but there is no putExtra(Constant.BRANDS_LIST, array) in Bundle
