Is there a way to write this line of code in a better way?
val httpLoggingInterceptor = HttpLoggingInterceptor().level = HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY

[Andreas Sinz]

val httpLoggingInterceptor = HttpLoggingInterceptor().apply {
    level = HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY
}

[Ayden]

The word of apply is telling to carry out another action after declare the variable?

[Andreas Sinz]

yes, you are `apply`ing additional code to the instance

Thanks.

You can also statically import HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY so it becomes val httpLoggingInterceptor = HttpLoggingInterceptor().apply { level = BODY }

What's wrong with the way it is written in the question?

Nothing. Just longer.
