Is there a more elegant way to write this (besides writing a helper method):

var method: String? = null
try {
    method = jsonResponse.getString("method")
} catch (exception: JSONException) {
    Log.i(TAG, "No method provide by server.")
}

val method = try {
    jsonResponse.getString("method")
} catch (exceptino: JSONException) {
    Log.i(TAG, "No method provide by server.")
    null
}

Thank you, @diesieben07!

"everything is an expression" is one of the best syntax improvements in Kotlin 😉

Although I cringe anytime I see an exception being caught, logged, and then flow continuing with a null...

Of course I can't see the whole picture, so just a knee-jerk reaction at this point.
