Currently retrieving values from a activity or fragment bundle is not type-safe and a great risk for introducing bugs.

Current way in how to retrieve values from the activity/fragment bundle:

val myParameter = bundle.get*(...)

Goal in how to retrieve these values:

val bundleModel = ActivityBundles.getMyAcivityBundleModel(bundle)
bundle.myParameter

• Get ride of making people using a mostly hidden key to set the default group for a certain target parameter in case of having multiple groups. Instead the TargetParameterItem should include a new boolean that will allow people to define if the key should be part of the default method or not (that flag should be false by default).
• Add a better typesafe implementation when using Serizable and Parcelable objects for target parameter. Currently e.g. Parcelable object x needs to be parsed to the actual object. It also requires the knowledge that the TargetParameterItem annotation does not understand objects that are extending parcelable - therefore for these cases Parcelable::class.java needs to be used. Internally I probably need to check elements for their parents to look up if these objects are from type Parcelable. I also need to add a better casting implementation for the BundelModel to return the correct object instead of something abstract.
• Improve javadoc

• Create a new annotation for BundleTarget. These classes are not activities or fragments but still require a bundle object for communication. Using this new annotation, a new method is being added to the BundleTargets class. The usage of this new api should be targetService.create(BundleTargets.myMiscTarget(...)).This should return a bundle object. BundleTargets.myMiscTarget(...) will create a new BundleTarget object that will be used by the TargetService.
