I also tried

startActivity(intentFor<CheatActivity>())

but no success

you need to

import org.jetbrains.anko.startActivity

@hugo.matilla: nailed it

thanks

I’m getting

Unresolved reference: ActivityMainBinding

when my Kotlin code compiles using data binding. I’m guessing it’s something I’ve neglected to add in my gradle file.

@bryan: Do you always get this error? We know about the "Cannot access class” issue, but I heard nothing about “Unresolved reference”. Did you try to rebuild the project from AS?

Adding this fixed it:

dependencies {
...
    // Data Binding
    kapt 'com.android.databinding:compiler:2.1.2’
}

Ah, ok. :)

@yan: I don’t know why though. Would you care to illuminate?

You just didn’t have you Data binding classes generated :)

In Java, DataBinding plugin for Gradle automatically adds all required Java Annotation Processing args, but it knows nothing about Kotlin.

Makes sense. Thank you.

Guys do you know any simple and stable NoSql data storage library that plays nice with kotlin classes?

Should kotlin be used as base language for new android app?

or its still to be evolved more?

For a new app — yes

Mixing with Java sometimes hard (especially if you write code that needs annotation processor in both languages)

mostly everything is ok now if you write project completely in Kotlin

ohk, threading generics collections[list, maps, sets, threadsafe collections] everything works fine?

sorry I am a beginner so asking silly questions

yes, that works great actually

great, thanks

mixing with java isnt recommended right now ?

well, it’s up to you I guess, I’ve faced problems that took time to solve which I didn’t want to spend, but if you’re going to write code from scratch -> definitely go with Kotlin

I know people who work on major apps that sprinkle in Kotlin code on current projects.

Some of those same people are afraid to do 100% Kotlin

I’m in the middle of doing a 100% Kotlin app right now and it’s awesome.

did you hear anything about annotation processor problems between java and kotlin code in same project from them?

I’ll ask.
