I have a java class without a constructor that I want to initialize with a value, is there a shortcut to do this in kotlin or do I have to initialize and use the setter?

You can use `also`:

val instance = MyJavaClass().also {
   it.setValue("foo")
}

What about apply with foo = bar?

[diesieben07]

Also works, apply has the same effect, just that you can use this inside the lambda

Thanks!
