07/31/2018, 12:08 AMOh weird, it looks like @IntDef supports Int and Long and the way Kotlin works requires it to be Long - this was apparently addressed in the latest support annotations.

07/31/2018, 12:10 AMThough to be honest, the only reason @IntDef even exists is because Dalvik was horribly memory inefficient - making enums significantly more costly than constants, and Android used to be built for devices with as low as 64MB of RAM - enums are fine now and should be equivalent to constants with ART.
