anotate the method inside a companion object with

@JvmField

menegatti: this is not always true, unless you call a getter from java.

@menegatti you mean

@JvmStatic

@kingsley if it's inside a companion object, @JvmField makes it static... That's how you implement the Parcelable interface in Android, for instance

Oh. Yes.

@JvmField

for fields.

@JvmStatic

for methods. Your text was about methods. Hence my comment 🙂

Oh yeah, that makes sense
