this channel is only for questions about Android that are related to Kotlin, you shouldn’t ask plain Android questions like “how to implement paging library”, this is just example. problem you have should be Kotlin related and on Android as a platform somebody correct me if am wrong

The reason is that this slack is sponsored/paid for by jetbrains. Jetbrains develops Kotlin, so they sponsor this slack to discuss Kotlin. They do not develop android.

@xxfast There is even a link on AndroidChat in this channel description 🙂

@Nicolas B There are many aspects of Kotlin and this is why this Slack has so many channels discussing different topics related to Kotlin, some platform specific some are not. There are many Kotlin topics/questions/approaches/bugs which are Android specific, Even if it would be 10-20 times less messages which follor the topic, it’s still big enough topic to have a channel about it. It also explicitly stated on this Slack Guidelines (and even an additional : https://kotlinlang.org/community/slackccugl.html#common-channels If you have some proposals about changing rules of the channel or changing channels in general, be free to share it in #meta channel, which specifically created for this

I still dont understand because my question is about android (Which is topic of channel) and related to kotlin language. Is Kotlin alone is something worthy ? Unless its used on some platform like android, ios, web etc
g
related to kotlin language
How is this questions related to Kotlin? “how to manage viewbinding in adapter incase we have two viewTypes of layouts”
Which is topic of channel
Yes, Android is topic of this channel, but topic of whole Slack is Kotlin. So questions/discussion should be related on Kotlin and on Android, both are required Your question is related on RecyclerView and ViewBindings, so it’s not specific to Kotlin, nothing in question or answer would be Kotlin specific
