Because clearView parameters are annotated with @NonNull, the Kotlin compiler overrides then as non-null. For Java interop, any function that can be called from Java code is protected by those intrinsics checks.
Maybe you could file a bug for that AndroidX library, as the non-null constract is violated. As a workaround, try setting those parameters as nullable in Kotlin: this should remove the intrinsics checks.
