09/08/2017, 10:11 PMYou could declare your own Serializable type as a header type, and define its impl as a typealias to java's Serializable on the JVM platform and as an empty interface in the JavaScript platform☝️ 2 - j

09/08/2017, 10:12 PMWorks well. I do that for exceptions so they can be mapped to existing JDK ones. - j

works fine from both languages. You can add your own converter forCall<Void>
which also works from both. https://github.com/square/retrofit/issues/2329Unit - l

09/08/2017, 11:51 PMI'm trying to extend a java interface to a kotlin class. The interface has some variables defined. Trying to access MyKotlinClass.InterfaceVariable fails. Is this a kotlin bug? - l
Lakshmie
09/08/2017, 11:51 PMimplement a java interface* - d
diesieben07
09/08/2017, 11:53 PMAre you talking about static fields in the interface? If so, yes, they exist in the interface, not the class implementing it. - l
Lakshmie
09/08/2017, 11:54 PMyes, but that works fine if we do the same thing using java. MyJavaClass.InterfaceVariable works. - d
diesieben07
09/08/2017, 11:55 PMYes, because Java is quirky 😛 - l
Lakshmie
09/08/2017, 11:56 PMso the only way to have a similar functionality is to have a companion object that redefines theses static variables so that other derived classes can then use them directly? - d
diesieben07
09/08/2017, 11:57 PMThey would still not be "inherited". - l
Lakshmie
09/08/2017, 11:58 PMso.. this works - l
Lakshmie
09/08/2017, 11:58 PMopen class Blah { companion object { val BLAH = "BLAH" } } - l
Lakshmie
09/08/2017, 11:58 PMclass Duh: Blah() { fun duhduh():String = BLAH } - l
Lakshmie
09/08/2017, 11:59 PMbut you are saying BLAH is not technically inherited? - d
diesieben07
09/09/2017, 12:00 AMThat will only work if they are in the same package, it seems. - l
Lakshmie
09/09/2017, 12:01 AMsure, the java one was also in the same package - d
diesieben07
09/09/2017, 12:01 AMJava has no companion objects. - l
Lakshmie
09/09/2017, 12:02 AMnot denying that - l
Lakshmie
09/09/2017, 12:02 AM🙂 - d
diesieben07
09/09/2017, 12:03 AMIt also only works in Kotlin if the parent is a class, not an interface. - d
diesieben07
09/09/2017, 12:03 AMAnd honestly, I am not sure why it works with a class, might even be a bug. - l
Lakshmie
09/09/2017, 12:03 AMalso, I just moved Blah in the example above to a different package - l
Lakshmie
09/09/2017, 12:03 AMit still works - d
diesieben07
09/09/2017, 12:04 AMYeah, it seems my first test was messed up. - d
diesieben07
09/09/2017, 12:04 AMMaybe it is intentional then. - l
Lakshmie
09/09/2017, 12:04 AMso should this issue be raised as a bug then? - l
Lakshmie
09/09/2017, 12:04 AMin kotlin? - d
diesieben07
09/09/2017, 12:05 AMI am not sure - l
Lakshmie
09/09/2017, 12:09 AMHmm ok - d
