don't write your own

checkSDK()

method, or annotate it with

@androidx.annotation.ChecksSdkIntAtLeast

, otherwise Android Lint doesn't understand the context at the call site

@ephemient i am learning android right now through a book... it's 400 pages long; I'm taking my time with it. I have only read a small part of it... I like experimenting in my free time so I'm bound to encounter mistakes.

I think epheminent just meant this might be the wrong channel to post. Maybe if you’re learning the topic #android would be more suitable

alright, let me restate it differently. if you have questions about Kotlin, ask away. if you have questions about Android, that aren't specific to Kotlin, this may not be the best forum for them.

@ephemient this is specific to Kotlin...

undoubtedly there is some amount of overlap, but I'm finding issues with your Android API usage

this is not kotlin-related?

that code can be written exactly the same in Java. no, it is not Kotlin-specific.

@Matteo Mirk you can say that about any code

no, you can't. there are Kotlin-specific parts to Android development - for example, all the -ktx libraries that Google is adding, or #compose

Tom, you’re very upset right now, blindly pushing your argument without considering our answers. No one is attacking you, we’re just pointing out some observed conventions of this slack space that are shared by its users, and it would be more constructive of you to simply calm down and listen. No need to delete your post, don’t get mad, it’s still in-topic for code reviews.

@Matteo Mirk you are right, I am pushing my foolish arguments blindly. Perhaps I should leave this server for the time being. My mind is very... active... argumentative... I am a fool.

How old are you, five? Seriously are you reacting like this? Chill down, no one is bashing or insulting you.

No I am not five. Ok.

Wish you all the best learning Kotlin and Android Tom, don’t take these comments personally 😉
