Hi. How it is the proper way to init a weak reference on Kotlin?

[ross_a]

johannes.lagos:
val reference = WeakReference<String>("A”)

?

[johannes.lagos]

Should it work better with a lateinit?

[ross_a]

I don’t quite understand, lateinit is used to declare a var which has looser null safety checks - as in, you don’t have to use ?/!! all the time but it should be assigned by the time you use it or it’ll immediately error

[ross_a]

If you want to reload the value on access time if it’s been GC’d, then you could probably do something neat with a delegate? Not quite sure your use case tho

The use case it have a reference to a view interface on a presenter
