Hey guys. Is there a way that I can call a method in Java that have a generic boundary?
Let’s say my method in Java:

public static <T extends A&B> void methodA()

Where A B are different interfaces
I can call the method in Java without any type like this:

methodA()

But when I call that method in kotlin I don’t know what type I should give to it

methodA</*What Should I put it here?*/>()

Any ideas?

[Giorgio Antonioli]

You can use methodA<A>()

Thanks. But what if I have 2 boundary?
For example:
public static <T extends A & B> void methodAB()

[w_bianrytree]

A/B are different interfaces.

[Matteo Mirk]

you could choose either type, depending on your needs. Think about interfaces as “traits” of your object

[Matteo Mirk]

oh wait, I might be mistaken sorry…

😉 Np. I was about to say it somehow need a type really suppose those but generic.

How on Earth would such a function be useful? That type will be erased at runtime, so the function can't really do anything with it. I guess you could define a placeholder interface:

interface C : A, B
methodA<C>()
