I am getting a build error message that I don’t understand:

e: /Users/espertus/src/firefox-voice/android-app/app/src/main/java/mozilla/voice/assistant/intents/communication/ui/contact/ContactCursorAdapter.kt: (49, 30): Overload resolution ambiguity: 
public final val itemView: View defined in mozilla.voice.assistant.intents.communication.ui.contact.MyAdapter.MyViewHolder
public final val itemView: View defined in mozilla.voice.assistant.intents.communication.ui.contact.MyAdapter.MyViewHolder

Lines 2 and 3 of the error are identical, so I don’t see the ambiguity.

Here is the relevant code:

class MyAdapter(
    private val cursor: Cursor
) : RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.MyViewHolder>() {
    class MyViewHolder(val itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {
        private val ivContactPhoto: ImageView

        init {
            ivContactPhoto = itemView.findViewById(R.id.ivContactPhoto) as ImageView
        }
    }

What happens if you remove val from itemView in the constructor or rename it to something else?

[Ellen Spertus]

Renaming it fixed it. Thank you, @Dustin Lam!

[Dustin Lam]

Or rather, I think it's because ViewHolder already has an itemView property

[Dustin Lam]

You can also just remove val, and use the itemView property from the base class, which should essentially be the same thing
