How can I use Result<T> from Java code? My interface returns Result<T> . i am seeing Object instead of Result<T> 😕

You probably need to show some code.

That is because Result<T> is an inline class that uses a backing field of Any? which, on the JVM, translates to Object. Can you possibly provide your usecase? Because the simplest way to approach this would be to consider any Object that you get to be a failure if it is instanceof Throwable and otherwise it is success.

interface PropSource {

    fun <T> getProperty(key: String): Result<T>

    fun getAllProperties(): Result<Map<String, Any>>
}

i have this interface. I am using Result<T> here so that I can encapsulate failure in the return object.
