Nobody?

[kevinmost]

Does println(clazz.simpleName == null) give you the expected result?

[spand]

Do you mean a java anonymous class or a kotlin object ?

[spand]

If the latter then ::class.objectInstance != null should work

[Egor Trutenko]

Basically, no, Kotlin does not operate with "anonymous class" definition as Java does, KClass even has no methods to check it. Instead, as was mentioned above, you can check whether the class is anonymous by clazz.getCanonicalName() == null, because Class of Java has no name for anonymous classes.

[robstoll]

@spand I don't have access to KClass, so ::class.objectInstance!=null does not work, or do you mean calling that on a Class?

[spand]

What do you have access to ?

[robstoll]

Just the Class

[robstoll]

@kevinmost println(clazz.simpleName == null) is false

[robstoll]

println(clazz.simpleName) outputs main$clazz$1

[spand]

The java Class object?

[robstoll]

japp

[robstoll]

the java Class object

[robstoll]

basically val clazz = object: A{}::class.java

[spand]

clazz.kotlin.objectInstance != null

[robstoll]

just that clazz is passed in as parameter

[robstoll]

oh interesting, clazz.kotlin.objectInstance != null works, thanks, wasn't aware of that this property exists 🙂

[spand]

🙂

[robstoll]

oh no, it does not work 😞 It only works for named objects like object B : A

Smells like a bug to me. Created an issue for it: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-22951
