I am trying to create a RecyclerView with two types of ViewHolder, I have set the types as constants in the companion object of the RecyclerView.

companion object {

val ITEM_VIEW_TYPE_HEADER = 0

val ITEM_VIEW_TYPE_CONTENT = 1

}

In onCreateViewHolder I have a when which inflates the layout and constructs the view holder.

ITEM_VIEW_TYPE_HEADER -> return HeaderViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.item_feedback_header, parent, false))

Is there a way to use the kotlin android extensions on the view Holder to access the TextView in item_feedback_header or do I have to to findById ?
