Hey guys!

Happy to be here 🙂

I have a JavaScript background and finding it difficult understanding the delegation concept as seen in the docs here:

class Person(val name: String) {
    constructor(name: String, parent: Person) : this(name) {
        parent.children.add(this)
    }
}

and here:

class MyView : View {
    constructor(ctx: Context) : super(ctx)

    constructor(ctx: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(ctx, attrs)
}

Wondering if I could get a clearer description of what happens. Thanks

you can also use constuctor overloads, like this

[myanmarking]

constructor(ctx: Context, attrs: AttributeSet = 0) : super(ctx, attrs)

[myanmarking]

with the annotation @JvmOverloads
