But ideally I'd like to be able to avoid the assignment all together

And just be able to directly manipulate the method

The goal is to be able to call an extension val defined on

(((View) -> Unit) -> Unit)

. So I could do something like:

this::setOnClickListener.myVal

But currently I'm having to do:

val listener: (((View) -> Unit) -> Unit) = this::setOnClickListener
listener.myVal

Simply to be able to properly address the version of

setOnClickListener

I want

Consider example:

interface Foo<T> {
    val bar: T
}

class IntFoo(
    override val bar: Int
) : Foo<Int>

In bytecode method

IntFoo#getBar()

will return

Integer

, so on every property usage

val b: Int = intFoo.bar

value will be boxed and then unboxed. But JIT compiler should be smart enough to figure it out eventually, so overhead should not be considerable, right?

String class has a constructor which will accept a CharArray to construct a String instance

well it's a constructor-like function rather than constructor

Not exactly related to Kotlin, but with IDEA. Can we make scripts (python/kotlinscripts) to import/export the custom live templates?

Hey guys, I am looking for a toolset which has short learning curve and allows to build both web apps and mobile apps using Kotlin Multiplatform. I want to make rapid prototype app for Android/iOS and Web. I am mobile developer and having not much experience with web development I am not sure how KMP works here and does it make sense to use it in this case. What do you think and what would you use in my case? Is it already easy to integrate shared KMP logic with mobile UI-frameworks like Flutter or is there any better choice? Will it also work for web app or needs some separate technology stack?

I would be happy if you guys share your opinion about having all tests in a single separate module. So, e.g. I have a project with a hexagonal architecture like that:

adapter/
application/
domain/

and instead of having adapter/test etc. I would have a separate test module sitting beside them. In that module, I would separate the Integration from Unit tests with different packages. I thought a little bit about it and I like it more and more, but it would be great to hear other experience!

this is so non-standard that i would imagine that a lot of tools might not work if you did it.

I always seem to have problems with setting up unit tests. Is there any straight to the point for best practises including gradle setup? I want to be able to use all the basic annotations like

@Test

,

@TestFactory

,

@BeforeAll

,

@AfterAll

and be able to just click the play icon and intellij will run it without problems as I would be using the standard setup.

https://twitter.com/kotlin/status/1310975482431762433 Great #KMM_News for those who can’t wait to use Kotlin 1.4.20-M1 in their KMM apps: Android Studio plugin is now compatible with the latest version of Kotlin! Don't worry, it will work with the stable 1.4.10 as well, and compatibility with iOS 14 and Xcode 12 is on the way. Twitter

wondering if anyone has any experience in migrating a codebase to 1.4 that shares/exports code (libraries) to other projects still on 1.3? should be fine? ill advised?

are there API changes in 1.4 that would break if exported to a 1.3 environment? specifically those that do not require opting in ie experimental APIs

Hey guys! What tools do you use for Code Coverage?

Hi, can someone help me with using kotlinx.collections.immutable together with kotlinx.serialization? There is this issue https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.collections.immutable/issues/63, but there is not much help. I also opened an issue in serialization, https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/issues/1114. I cannot seem to find a way to make it work.

what's the difference between arraylist and list

in kotlin

??

List is an Interface and ArrayList is a class
