Why do you have that empty main method there?

If you need it, you can do like this:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

main

is not empty. It contains logic to the rest of the app (unrelated to GUI) which my coworker takes a part in

And he doesn't have to know kotlin. That was the deal

Aha. Well, you should be able to kickstart the app like I did above. Does that work for you?

It starts and finishes in an instant. No window appears

So do you call Application.launch like I do above?

If this is first and foremost a TornadoFX application however, I would go about this another way: Create a standard Kotlin class and use as the app class, but call into a Java class where the other guy can put his initialization logic. You can call that method by overriding

init()

in the App class.

So the Java class is like this:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

And the Kotlin app class is like this:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

That's what worked:

public class Main extends App {
    public Main() {
        super(JvmClassMappingKt.getKotlinClass(MainView.class) );
    }

    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        Application.launch(Main.class);
    }
}

That sounds about right.

Thanks a lot!

No problem Daniil, any time 🙂

BTW, I could not find it in the wiki for TornadoFX

@cypher121 I'll be sure to add a chapter about Java interop. Really glad you asked this question! Putting it on my todo now.

call me @voddan 😄

Oups, sorry @cypher121 I've been mentioning you instead of @voddan 🙂

Btw, @edvin , how do I pass data from App to View?

View has a root which is done by DSL, but it needs a list of names

never mind, found

FX.find

nah, that does not works

@voddan Show me the code. You can actually inject the View into the App class if you're using Kotlin for the App class as well.

@voddan Is MainView a View or Fragment? Find will return a new instance every time if it's a fragment.

It's s View

@voddan Show me the code and the describe what's happening?

I am trying to create an MVC with

MemoryModel

-

MainView

-

Main
