Is there recommended way of doing Boolean object comparison in Kotlin?
e.g. if(Boolean.TRUE == someBooleanValue) { .. } else { .. } , this example is using Boolean.TRUE from Java and android studio is giving lint warning:

if that's a bool, you shouldn't need the == true at all just if(someBool){}else{}

[Alex Prince]

except in the nullability case, when I just use somebool == true

I think Boolean.TRUE is more like object comparison. Does somebool == true do that?

Why do you want to compare boxes? If you have a Kotlin Boolean, it won't be boxed anyway unless it needs to be nullable.

[Alex Prince]

exactly

[droid]

Yes, it is a nullable Boolean.

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Why do you want to compare specifically with Boolean.TRUE though? Kotlin will do the right thing if you just compare with true.

Sorry for inaccurate context. I was migrating some existing java code to kotlin, so it came up.

BTW, there's only 2 Boolean boxes (cached) since there's just 2 values. Just like all Byte values are cached on Android.
