Is there a way to have a static method in Kotlin?

[mugur]

I tried Class1{ companion object Class2{ fun somestaticMethod()}}, but I have to call it with Class1.Class2.somestaticMethod()

[david.bilik]

so skip Class2 name

[david.bilik]

Class1{ companion object { fun somestaticMethod()}}

[egor]

don’t forget that you can define a fun by itself – there’s no need to surround it by a class

[sksk]

and @JvmStatic if you wan it to be accessible from java

[radityagumay]

Add function inside companion object, all fun inside that will regard as final, you should add annotation processor @JvmStatic. This annotation tells jvm you function or field is static.
