Is it possible to write a function with varargs that calls a Java function with varargs of type

Object

? Say, I want a shorter name for Android’s `getString()`:

@NonNull
    public final String getString(@StringRes int resId, Object... formatArgs) {
        return getResources().getString(resId, formatArgs);
    }

How do I write a Kotlin function that just forwards its arguments to this

getString

? According to the docs, I should use

kotlin.Any!

Android Studio does not even let me add the !. Using just

vararg Any

results in

IllegalFormatExceptions

A type ending in

!

is a platform type. It comes in from Java. You can never define one yourself. Have you tried the spread operator?

*formatArgs

? (note the

*

)

Doesn’t this imply that I have to pass an array? So, I need to wrap my vararg params into an array?

Thank you. Works fine.

I published what you're looking for in Splitties, it's called `str`: https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/tree/master/modules/resources#text
