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]

do you have actual code review questions that aren't figuring out how to use the Android SDK?

[therealbluepandabear]

@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.

[therealbluepandabear]

also that's actually kind of offensive what you are saying. do not be so smart on people who are just beginning and do not judge people because they are 'figuring out' how to use something. shame.

[therealbluepandabear]

@Matteo Mirk why you upvote what he's saying?

[Matteo Mirk]

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

[Matteo Mirk]

hey hey, easy… we’re just discussing Kotlin and stuff here, don’t jump at everyone’s neck! 🙂

[ephemient]

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.

[therealbluepandabear]

@ephemient this is specific to Kotlin...

[therealbluepandabear]

@ephemient it is a code-review in Kotlin...

[therealbluepandabear]

many people here post stuff they did on Android.

[ephemient]

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

[ephemient]

yes, and in #android they are consistently told to take it off this server

[therealbluepandabear]

this is not kotlin-related?

[ephemient]

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

[therealbluepandabear]

@Matteo Mirk you can say that about any code

[therealbluepandabear]

Goodbye... I am deleting this post...

[ephemient]

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

[Matteo Mirk]

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.

[therealbluepandabear]

@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.

[Matteo Mirk]

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

[therealbluepandabear]

No I am not five. Ok.

[therealbluepandabear]

I mean I would be a pretty mad coder if I was five though

[Matteo Mirk]

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