Is it better to do this: context.getSystemService(VIBRATOR_SERVICE) as Vibrator or context.getSystemService(VIBRATOR_SERVICE) as? Vibrator

[tseisel]

How about context.getSystemService<Vibrator>(), available in androidx.core ?
Note that the first alternative will crash the app if the returned object is not a Vibrator or if it is null (which is very unlikely since the vibrator service exists since API 1)

Always fo with the safest way 🙂 which in this case is the one @tseisel posted

[Luca Nicoletti]

or context.getSystemService(VIBRATOR_SERVICE) as? Vibrator the second one

It's better to do vibrator using #splitties System Services artifact (available in top-level) in my humble and biased opinion.
