kotlinlang #getting-started

if(bridgeName == null || bridgeName.isEmpty()) {
			errors.put("add-search-name","Name must not be blank")
		} else {
			if(4 > bridgeName.length) {

			}

works fine, but if I replace the if condition with

Copy code

if(bridgeName.isNullOrEmpty())

the name length check isn't null safe.

Why use backing field and not name of property?

Copy code

class User(val name: String) {
    var address: String = "unspecified"
        set(value: String) {
            println(address)//works
            address = value//doesn't work
        }
}

interestingly, if you write

Copy code

if(long.equals(int)) {
  ...		
}

the IDE suggests to replace it with

==

, even though that doesn’t work 🙈

Can anyone explain why the literal

0xAABBCCDD_11223344L

cannot exist in Kotlin? Neither can the value of

Long.MIN_VALUE

, which is actually represented by

-9223372036854775807L - 1L

Question:

count()

versus

size

for collections? Seems there are two ways to get the number of elements in a collection:

count()

called without a predicate argument and

size

, looks like a field, attribute, property. Any reason to prefer one over the other?

But you can have more than one companion object, right? I guess if you can’t impose requirements on properties, then you can’t on companion objects.

08/14/2017, 2:08 PM

can you show the code for

missingParamError

and

incorrectPassword

, and what the similarity/differences between them are?

What is a good way to get around not being able to use reified type parameters in an interface? I want to have a method like

Copy code

override inline fun <reified T> foo(key: String, value: T): T {
    }

but it's not possible since you can't

inline

an interface function

Hi guys! I haven't found any implementation of a json-schema-form in kotlin?, do you know if there is one available?

Yup, while should work.

You can a sequence to avoid creating a temporary

List

if you're going with

forEach

something with

maybe?

is there a way that I can refer to a Pair’s

by something custom?

data.groupBy { it[0] }.mapValues { (_, value) -> value.map { it[1] } }

I would like to have default return like in java in kotin but when's else doesnt do the thing as it has to be in separate case

how can I break from a foreach 😮

Or just do a nullcheck on the result of

get

instead of the

containsKey

, saves you one hash lookup as well.

Any 'standard advice' for 'Kotling Plugin Update not installed' on Android Studio? It downloads it but fails to install. I checked the logs, no reference to it. My project deps. are already 1.1.4.

Hello, Could you please explain me what's the companion object intended for?

what is difference between arraryListOf() and listOf()

@qwert_ukg not related to your question. But you’re violating “Single Responsibility Principle” because you put two distinct responsilities into a single object, NotificationRespository should only be responsible of storing & loading data. The responsibility of sending notification should be delegated to other objects.

i get a randomblock, the shape, and use its name to feed to the move function so it knows at which cell locations to increment, and eventually redraw, therefore moving the current shape

Why won't this compile?

Copy code

class Foo(var values: MutableList<String>)

class Bar(var foo: Foo) {
    fun bar() {
        foo.values += "Baz"
    }
}

08/21/2017, 4:16 AM

And why won't this compile either?

Copy code

class Foo(val bars: Map<Int, Bar<*>>) {
    
    fun <Baz> qux(baz: Baz) {
        val bar2 = bars[2]!!
        bar2.bazes += baz
    }
    
    interface Bar<Baz> {
        var bazes: MutableList<Baz>
    }
}
