i.e.: Activity have an TextView that must be updated since Fragment but this TextView is a lateinit var that might not have been initialized when thisFragment updates its value. I am trying to check if it's null with ? operator but this always give me that variable cannot be null.

If you need to check lateinit property, usually it sign that you just need nullable property instead

Okey I am going to update that textview to nullable property

[gildor]

There is special ::property.isInitialized intrinsic, but I wouldn’t recommend to use it, just make property nullable

Yup I know about that but it's only working in the class that contains the lateinit property if I call that outside the Activity class that contains the property it does not work

😞

Nullable property lets go -!!

[Alf_]

Thanks!

[gildor]

Again, if you have case when property have to be checked just use nullable, this is exactly why nullable exist

Okey @gildor thank you dude!
