Hi, why const is not allowed for field that references generated const classes like android R subclasses? IMHO, technically it should be allowed.

For example, const val TEXT_RES = R.string.some_text

It is allowed. Maybe you do something wrong? Show your code

hmm, just this on the top level private const val DEFAULT_TITLE_TEXT_RES = R.string.big_teaser_title_text
and it says that R.string.XXX is not a constant value

kotlin version is 1.1.51, project itself is an android lib project

[genovich]

Can’t reproduce. Try to “Invalidate cache / Restart”

[gildor]

Maybe because R.string.big_teaser_title_text defined in an other module

[genovich]

works on 1.1.4 & 1.1.51

[gildor]

resource ids from other modules are not constants

[tapchicoma]

no, R.string is defined in the same module
will try to invalidate cache

[tapchicoma]

doesn't help (

ok, the behavior is valid. It is an android lib project and R classes will be regenerated on main app build
