I still try to do it a safe way if I can, especially because Kotlin makes it easy, but there are scenarios where I take the approach Jake said - if it really is null when I need it, it's an exceptional case and can be treated as such honestly. It might be nice to avoid an NPE, but if the app is going to lack functionality anyways if something's null, I think you just need to make your own decision on how to handle it.
