I am trying to enable nonTransitiveRClass in my project, but to avoid a bunch of import alias I thought I could encapsulate the R classes from library modules and avoid the class name conflict...
How to encapsulate the R or R.string class in my class ?
I tried this

object MyR {
    val string: R.string = R.string
}

but I get this

[ephemient]

doesn't work, R.string is a class not an object

[juliocbcotta]

I know, I posted the code to illustrate what I tried...

[juliocbcotta]

and what I am trying to archive

[ephemient]

you can

import my.R as MyR

but will have to do so in every file that uses it

[juliocbcotta]

that is what I am trying to avoid... and I can't do that in my java files

[ephemient]

that isn't a Kotlin question then… but for Java, no way around it unless you create a wrapper for each constant, which breaks lint checks

[juliocbcotta]

it is a kotlin question as I am asking the correct syntax to do it in Kotlin.

I want to keep a reference to the R class in my own class and access it.

[ephemient]

the answer is you can't

Ok, thanks

Would be nice if typealias allowed referencing subclasses like this:

typealias MyR = com.my.package.R
val description = MyR.string.some_description

But it doesn't work. You could however define a typealias for each of R.string, R.drawable... but that's quite verbose.
