First or second?

startActivityForResult(
    CheatActivity.newIntent(this@MainActivity, quizViewModel.currentQuestionAnswer),
    REQUEST_CODE_CHEAT,
    ActivityOptions.makeCustomAnimation(
        this,
        R.anim.fragment_fade_enter,
        R.anim.fragment_fade_exit
    ).toBundle()
)

val intent = CheatActivity.newIntent(this@MainActivity, quizViewModel.currentQuestionAnswer)
val animation = ActivityOptions.makeCustomAnimation(this, R.anim.fragment_fade_enter, R.anim.fragment_fade_exit).toBundle()
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_CHEAT, animation)

neither, use the new activity result apis instead

@ephemient how do I do that

https://lmgtfy.app/?q=android+activity+result+api - also, not Kotlin.

@ephemient this is Kotlin

your code is, but the API is not, and that's what you should have looked up yourself after my first reply.

most Kotlin devs use Java APIs in their projects.

yes, but don't come here asking about the Java parts. do your own research.

reminds me of something else lol

kotlin-specific part: maybe I’ll go with the first form, using named arguments for clarity:

startActivityForResult(
    intent = CheatActivity.newIntent(this@MainActivity, quizViewModel.currentQuestionAnswer),
    code = REQUEST_CODE_CHEAT,
    bundle = ActivityOptions.makeCustomAnimation(
        this,
        R.anim.fragment_fade_enter,
        R.anim.fragment_fade_exit
    ).toBundle()
)

As for the Android-specific part, I know next to nothing so forgive me in advance (for example arg names are surely wrong).

unfortunately named arguments don't work with Java APIs

oh rats! I forgot that 😞
