I'm working through a tutorial that includes:

rollButton.text = "Let's roll!"
        rollButton.setOnClickListener {
            Toast.makeText(this, "button clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }

I know the first line would be: rollButton.setText("Let's roll!"); in Java. Why doesn't the next statement become the following in Kotlin:

rollButton.onClickListener = ...;

Properties need a getter - while there's a getText() to go with setText(), there's no getOnClickListener() so it isn't eligible to be converted into a property

That makes total sense. Thank you, @Ian Lake.
