One possibility is when the getter from a super type returns a type, and its subclass then returns a more specific type. In the case of

fun TextView.getText(): CharSequence

and

fun EditText.getText(): Editable

. Here, the property type will depend on the compile time type of your variable

Copy code

val view: TextView = EditText...
view.text // CharSequence

val view = EditText...
view.text // Editable
