how to call a java function called to from Kotlin? it keeps trying to use the Pair extension 🤔

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

use an import alias like this:
import <http://com.javaCode.to|com.javaCode.to> as javaTo

@Youssef Shoaib [MOD] wicked!

[poohbar]

it won't let me import that 🤔 ..

Kotlin: Cannot import 'to', functions and properties can be imported only from packages or objects

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

hmmm, make sure you fully qualify it i.e. with the full package like this import <http://com.example.x.y.z.to|com.example.x.y.z.to> as javaTo

maybe you need to backtick it `import package.to as javato` ? (I've no idea if it works)

[nanodeath]

or `javaInstance.`to`(arg)`
