override fun getView(position: Int, convertView: View?, parent: ViewGroup): View {
    val obj: Color = getItem(position)!!
    var resultView: View? = convertView
    val viewHolder: ViewHolder

    if (resultView == null) {
        // as new view is to be generated. We inflate the view
        resultView = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.color_item, parent, false)

        // TODO Implement click listener correctly and see why it give wrong position if placed in this block
        // TODO instead of outside of if-else i.e it works fine outside  if-else

        resultView.setOnClickListener{view ->
            Snackbar.make(view,"Position: $position",Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT)
                .show()
        }

        // creating view holder object to store the found views in the layout
        viewHolder = ViewHolder()

        // find the views in the layout and store the objects in the view holder class
        viewHolder.colorImage = resultView.findViewById(R.id.image_view)
        viewHolder.colorName = resultView.findViewById(R.id.color_title)
        viewHolder.colorCode = resultView.findViewById(R.id.color_code)


        resultView.tag = viewHolder
    } else {
        viewHolder = resultView.tag as ViewHolder
        
    }

    viewHolder.colorImage.setImageResource(R.color.white)
    viewHolder.colorName.text = obj.colorName
    viewHolder.colorCode.text = obj.colorCode.toString()

    return resultView!!
}

can anyone tell why lateinit variable is not initialised
FYI I am calling the secondary constructor\

class ViewHolder {
lateinit var colorImage: ImageView
lateinit var colorName: TextView
lateinit var colorCode: TextView
}

And here's how you can modify your getView function to initialize the ViewHolder properties using the findViewById method:

override fun getView(position: Int, convertView: View?, parent: ViewGroup): View {
val obj: Color = getItem(position)!!
var resultView: View? = convertView
val viewHolder: ViewHolder

if (resultView == null) {
// as new view is to be generated. We inflate the view
resultView = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.color_item, parent, false)

// create a new ViewHolder and initialize its properties
viewHolder = ViewHolder()
viewHolder.colorImage = resultView.findViewById(R.id.image_view)
viewHolder.colorName = resultView.findViewById(R.id.color_title)
viewHolder.colorCode = resultView.findViewById(R.id.color_code)

// set the ViewHolder as the tag of the resultView
resultView.tag = viewHolder
} else {
// get the existing ViewHolder from the tag of the resultView
viewHolder = resultView.tag as ViewHolder
}

viewHolder.colorImage.setImageResource(R.color.white)
viewHolder.colorName.text = obj.colorName
viewHolder.colorCode.text = obj.colorCode.toString()

return resultView!!
}

Hope this helps!🙂
