would use them on type params if I got to use Java 8 for anything 🙂

Yeah. (I worry more about

@NotNull/@NonNull

than

@Nullable

as I assume anything that isn’t specified as

@NotNull

can be null 😞 )

same for me, but when I make libraries I assume the opposite actually. If you add

@Nullable

, your library users will get lint warnings when they do the wrong thing, which is good!

Same, I use both in my libraries (or at least I try to remember, I need to go through and completely finish annotations)

Is there any plan to bring automatic code rearrangement for Kotlin to IntelliJ/Android Studio? https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.2/rearranging-code-using-arrangement-rules.html

I miss that option dearly

@kkozmic eventually yes, but it's not high on our priority list. my personal belief is that code should be arranged according to its meaning, not according to arbitrary external rules, and meaning of code is something that is known to you, not to an automated tool

I agree, although I configure my arbitrary rules according to meaning 😉

What is the latest kotlin-gradle-plugin version?

And how do I find out the latest one? Please help.

@rakshakhegde Latest stable as I know is 1.0.3, if you want newer version, use oss sonatype snapshots

Instant Run doesn’t run as expected. It reloads the app anyways. Is that a known missing feature?

This is in regards to Android Studio, sorry I’ll change the channel

I'm trying to interop (over messaging) with code written in different languages. Has anyone had any luck using things like avro with kotlin? Avro can generate code for java, but I wish it could generate kotlin code, especially taking into account the nullability/non-nullability of fields.

basically avro has a templating mechanism which in theory you can extend for every language .. we wanted to do that but we ended up using the generated java classes because of lack of time 🙂

but i’d be willing to contribute to a avro -> kotlin project

Not sure if arvo could generate java code using @Nullable @NonNull annotations - should be enough to transparent intero with kotlin

Thanks for both of you, I'll get my feet wet by using the java codegen, and keep in mind that there is interest if we get to kotlin code generation!

the templates are not super complex .. but nothing you will get running within a few hours

at least not me 🙂

understood 🙂

is there an idiom to take an action if some var is not null? i.e. a shorter version of

if (variable != null) { function(variable) }

variable?.let {}

something like that

will this be inlined to produce an effective if-condition in bytecode?

y

ah .. you mean the ? operator .. i’d think so

thanks

by the way it seems like

apply()

is an even better candidate here, because I don't need a return result
