I found myself implementing various methods instead

var

with custom get and set methods because they are in an interface.. isn't there any other way?

You don’t want to do this?

interface Foo {
    var foo: String
        get() = ""
        set(value) {}
}

I recall I tried that and it was complaining

If its a java interface, you are out of luck

thanks

You have to define the getter, because otherwise it tries to have a backing field, which it can’t in an interface.

yes, but overriding a

get*

with a property gets very tricky in mixed inheritance architectures

uhm, so better stay with the classical approach?

If you can’t overload the get and set methods in java (which I haven’t tried), and that’s something you need. then yes, I would say you’re stuck with having actual get and set methods in Kotlin.

ok

smart, I almost forgot about the possibility to rename them
