I am new to Kotlin for Android development. While following along a tutorial project, I needed to use ArrayAdapter
with a custom class. Building the project failed with error.
The MainActivity.kt class throwing the error:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
setSupportActionBar(toolbar)
}
val dm = DataManager()
val adapterCourses = ArrayAdapter<CourseInfo>(
context = this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,
dm.courses.values.toList()
)
override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu): Boolean {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu)
return true
}
override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
return when (item.itemId) {
R.id.action_settings -> true
else -> super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
}
}
}
Error:
