I got this warning `This TypedArray should be recycled after use with `#recycle()`` after use obtainTypedArray for my array list. But when I try to call recycle(), getResourceId() show unresolved reference error.

This is my code:

private val listUsers: ArrayList<User>
        get() {
            val userName = resources.getStringArray(R.array.name)
            val userUserName = resources.getStringArray((R.array.username))
            val userAvatar = resources.obtainTypedArray(R.array.avatar)
            val listUser = ArrayList<User>()
            for (i in userName.indices) {
                val user = User(userName[i], userUserName[i], userAvatar.getResourceId(i, -1))
                listUser.add(user)
            }
            return listUser
        }

The obtainTypedArray method returns a TypedArray, which has to be recycled when you no longer need it. In your case, this means that you should call userAvatar.recycle() once you're done using that object - probably between the for loop and the return statement.

That means I have to call userAvatar.recycle() inside the for loop just after listUser.add(user) statement?

Only call recycle after you're completely done using the array. If you use it in the for loop on each iteration, call it after the loop is done.
