anyone knows of any examples i can find of annotation use?

@nickst: I assume you've seen the documentation? https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/annotations.html Are you looking for more practical examples? Examples for a specific library/framework?

i just dont understand how i query for the annotation, my use case is to mark a class with an annotation, and to be able to list all classes with that annotation, later to mark a function with annotaiton and be able to list all those functions

Ah. I know there's quite a few different Java libraries that provide annotation scanning. I've used this one successfully in Kotlin https://github.com/ronmamo/reflections There's other options listed in this SO question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/259140/scanning-java-annotations-at-runtime

i must not use any library...

Does sockets wake up phone radio ?

if i want to use kotlin-reflect i must also bundle the jar later?

is it the JAVA OF TOMORROW...???

@nickst: yes

oh, too bad i must not inflate my sdk...

any chance of doing annotation magic without it?

can i bypass by using ::class.java?

you can use Java reflection, it doesn’t require any additional libraries

@kavin3: Tomorrow? It's here today.

But it is not in the air.....so let's make it up...

@kavin3: also known as swift for android -)

@cedric: Just an hour back, I came to know about the 'English' word - "KOTLIN"..!..so it's tomorrow for me

Will it be helping in UI/UX...?? unlike Java...???

Unlikely

@cedric: unlikely...??

Kotlin doesn't have its own UI toolkit, you're stuck with Swing/JavaFX if you like standards and pain. Or SWT/JFace if you care about your users. Either way, none of that is specific to Kotlin

@jshmrsn: Karg looks great! Maybe you create a channel for it?

@voddan: Alright, I created #C0MFXTA4W just in case people want to discuss it without spamming general. Not sure if it's really worth it's own channel yet otherwise 😛

wheres the documentation for the is keyword?

Anybody here read the “Kotlin for Android Developers” book yet?

@nickst: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/typecasts.html

ah kewl thanks

@zoltu: @kenyee The idea of the project is to make these methods available for standard Java

@akshay: I read it.

Hello, is it right conference for asking questions (or is it just for announce, news, so forth?)
