is Object a good place for const values?

why?

Hello can you suggest me kotlin open source project like kotlinconf-app(https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlinconf-app).

I have a

lateinit

in an

object

object offscreenPass {
        ...
        lateinit var commandBuffer: VkCommandBuffer

But whenever I try to query if it has been initialized

if (offscreenPass::commandBuffer.isInitialized)

, I get

Backing field of 'lateinit var commandBuffer: VkCommandBuffer' is not accessible at this point

What does first parameter

<X>

stand for? It always confused me..

@gpeal what version of kotlin and IDEA you use? It works fine

What you can do however, is wrapping the class if you want to add a field, or use property extensions/properties

I cant seem to find a way to detect whenever a

KProperty1.returnType

is an Array type via reflection

hi guys, i need a lib “walkthrough”, anyone could recomend for me

Question, I have a library class in this form:

java
public class Transformation<T extends Transformation>

and I would like to use it in my kotlin project but the problem is that java lets me not provide a type parameter but kotlin forces me to do so. How can I provide a type parameter to this class without having it recurse?

kotlin
Transformation<Transformation...>()

Hi there. We are hosting an awesome 2 day Kotlin Workshop for intermediate Android devs on June 9/10th in San Francisco (https://velos-kotlin-weekend.eventbrite.com). I submitted a form about the event on kotlinlang but it doesn't show up in the events yet. Does anyone know who to contact about this, or if the community talks are no longer being updated?

Any link for for Kotlin-Android beginners ? I saw some of Udacity and developer.android links they are converting existing classes. I am looking more into from the basics

Do we have a Gson library for Kotlin ?

Are there any good resources for teaching programming (from scratch) with Kotlin?

It does require an instance per pair and it forces the values to be boxed. A real primitve array will be way faster.

Is it possible to create extension functions that are only available in the context of a function's parameters?

Right, that works if you have an instance parameter. But what if you only have a type parameter?

But what would the solution be in a nontrival case?

Hi everyone, I have a question about

Dao/Repository

in Kotlin. Some Github projects like https://github.com/mvysny/vok-orm and https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed/ use the DAO approach defining data access methods on the entity using a companion object, while, generally, in Java(i.e. Spring Data) we use Repositories to access the data. What is your opinion? Why one approach is better than another?
