Hey, there! Does anybody knows why property `annotations`  for `KClass` returns empty array?

Hmmm, btw i just tried to call `ActionBarContainer::class.java.annotations` and it returns empty array too

on which context do you call it? on runtime?
If so, it’s expected, RestrictTo has CLASS Retention policy, so it doesn’t exist on runtime, only in bytecode

I am not sure (

I'll tried to create a `Generator`, which runs by launch `fun main` and works with android sdk classes by reflection, but after many fails with `kts` scripts and pure java library i've created android library (to access android View classes with reflection)

I launch my Generator by click `play`  in AS interface. Assume it may be a runtime. Depends on how this `main`  launches

yes, it’s on runtime, so you do not work with bytecode
So you cannot get RestrictTo annotation, it’s not a part of runtime, it exist only in sources and bytecode

maybe you know what (and how) i should do to reach that annotation?

I assume that i must create pure java library and find a way to access android sdk classes?
Or there `ClassLoader`  can help to save my life?

No, you have to read it from .class file (or .dex if it Android)
