it works with Any if its not a List

[agomez]

your problem is with type erasure and generic types

[agomez]

also you cant check for is List<Audi> for the same reason

[xantier]

You will get close with reification

[agomez]

i mean, inside an if condition

[xantier]

inline fun <reified T>createColorsResources(carModel: List<T>): String {
    return when {
        T::class == Audi::class -> "audi"
        else                    -> "not audi"
    }
}

[xantier]

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    println(createColorsResources(listOf(Audi())))
    println(createColorsResources(listOf(Audi(), NotAudi())))
    println(createColorsResources(listOf(NotAudi())))
}
class Audi
class NotAudi

oh

[pawel.rybicki]

that would work Im not sure if its worth tho : )

[pawel.rybicki]

would have to refactor a bit since my function is overrided I belive it cannot be done like that

[pawel.rybicki]

Also I cannot access the class properties (which is smth I need)

[pawel.rybicki]

return when {
T::class == Audi::class -> carVariable.speed
else -> "not audi"
}

[pawel.rybicki]

like in classic 'is' case : P

[xantier]

what's carVariable in this case?

[pawel.rybicki]

instance of argument passed to func or smth

[pawel.rybicki]

carModel*
