Run single kotlin class with main function in andr

问题:

I am trying to get familiar with Kotlin to use in my android apps. So first I want to try out some simple kotlin examples, just to get familiar with syntax of kotlin.

I made a class named Main.kt in my android project with just main method.

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
println("Hello World"); }

Android studio shows me a kotlin icon to left of main method and when I click on this icon, It shows me below three option:

1) Run Mainkt

2) Debug Mainkt

3) Run Mainkt with coverage

I chose first one but it throws me

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.vikalp.kotlin.MainKt
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:424)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:331)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:264)
at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMainV2.main(AppMainV2.java:107)

I am stuck with such a small problem. Let me know if anyone of you have faced problem like this and what is the solution.

回答1:

You can create a new Java library module where you can run non-Android projects, see this answer for instructions. This is a Java related question, but it should work all the same with Kotlin main functions too. Edit: I can't get this working right now.

You could also use IntelliJ IDEA instead which is a Java/Kotlin/etc. IDE instead of an Android one, the community edition is free and supports Kotlin.

If you just need to run really simple code, you can also do it online here: https://try.kotlinlang.org/

As mentioned in the issue tracker, a temporary workaround is to add the following to the root build.gradle script:

subprojects { subProject ->
    afterEvaluate {
        if (subProject.plugins.hasPlugin("kotlin") && subProject.plugins.hasPlugin("java-library")) {
            subProject.kotlin.copyClassesToJavaOutput = true
            subProject.jar.duplicatesStrategy = DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE
        }
    }
}

回答3:

class Main {
companion object {
    @JvmStatic fun main(args: Array<String>) {
        println("Hello!")
    }
}

or Just create a configuration with the main class as "MainKt".

回答4:

This is simply not possible as of now in Android Studio 3.0.

There is a bug filed for this already: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/68021152

回答5:

I faced the same problem and a workaround is run your code in a test class under test folder, then right-click on Run {your test class}

It is enough if you only want to play with Kotlin.

回答6:

Maybe this method worked use gradle-3.3, at lease it worked for me.

回答7:

The easiest way is to create a new Java library module like this, and configure it for Kotlin.

You also have to add this in your build.gradle of the imported module:

dependencies {
    runtimeClasspath files(compileKotlin.destinationDir)
}

Tested on Android Studio 3.1.3

Note that this is an edited version of my other answer.

Using this method you can have Java/Kotlin modules and Android modules in the same project and also have the ability to compile and run Java/Kotlin modules as stand alone projects.

1. Open your Android project in Android Studio. If you do not have one, create one.
2. Click File > New Module. Select Java Library and click Next.
3. Fill in the package name, etc and click Finish. You should now see a Java module inside your Android project.
4. Add your Java/Kotlin code to the Java module you've just created.
5. Click on the drop down to the left of the run button. Click Edit Configurations...
6. In the new window, click on the plus sign at the top left of the window and select Application
7. A new application configuration should appear, enter in the details such as your main class and classpath of your module.
8. Click OK.

9. Next we need to add the Kotlin plugin. Add the following code to your project level build.gradle (lines to add are denoted by >>>):

   buildscript {
       >>> ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.51'
       repositories {
           google()
           jcenter()
       }
       dependencies {
           classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'
           >>> classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
   
           // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
           // in the individual module build.gradle files
       }
   }
   ...
   

10. Add the following code to your module level build.gradle (lines to add are denoted by >>>):

    apply plugin: 'java-library'
    >>> apply plugin: 'kotlin'
    
    dependencies {
        implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
        >>> implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
        >>> runtimeClasspath files(compileKotlin.destinationDir)
    }
    ...
    

Now if you click run, this should compile and run your Java/Kotlin module.

If you get the error Error: Could not find or load main class..., just enter your main class (as you've done in step 7) again even if the field is already filled in. Click Apply and then click Ok.

Android studio (intellij) provides REPL(Real Eval Print Loop) tool to write and execute kotlin code.

1. Open kotlin REPL as Tool -> kotlin -> kotlin REPL

2. Write your code

3. Press command + enter (on mac) to execute your code(pay attention to the key combo on different platform)

Either write code or import the class

Tips:

• Rebuilt the project once you change the source code
• Use arrow key to go back in history

It so simple, no need to do any seperate or specific task.

Just have to install Kotlin plugin in Android Studio.

Now, At the time of creating new project in android studio, choose kotlin checkbox.

You will find default kotlin code in your activity as below :

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    }
}

Now, you can do whatever you want to do with kotlin in Android Studio ;)

It is supported now (V 3.2.1 )

I just finished upgrading my Android studio, created A new project I then waited until all the building finished ( if you are advised to upgrade something please accept )

After that I created a new Kotlin file and added your code, right click and choose the Run option and that's it .

I can see the following in the console

Hello World

Process finished with exit code 0
