I guess I puted my question the wrong way lets say I have class that have some fields and methods and inside it I have a companion object that need to access the fields and methods of the outer class

mohamed.hajr: You can’t do that

object is a singleton, and it doesn’t actually live within enclosing class

You’d either need to have outer object instead of a class, or

inner class

instead of a static object

Or pass instance of your object to methods/whatever used in your companion object

What am trying to do is I want only the things in the companion object is the ones to be accessible by other classes but however all the other fields and methods in the outer class only the companion could use them does that make sense ?

Why wouldn’t having only some fields

public

and the rest

private

Cause the outer class methods and fields those are private ones no body should access them or modify them

and I have some other fields and methods that you can interact with the class using them

but I want them to be singltons

and access them via the class name like static methods in java

Then it seems like the outer class should be an

object

too

So just on object which is the outer class and no any companion objects

yeah that handled it thanks a lot dude really appreciate it
