Koltin Info

The document introduces several key concepts in Kotlin including everything being an object, properties, null safety, lambdas, data classes, and references for learning more. It shows examples of declaring variables and classes, using properties, handling null values safely, implementing lambdas, creating data classes, and copying data class instances. Kotlin aims to eliminate null pointer exceptions and be less verbose than Java with features like non-nullable types, safe calls, elvis operator, and data classes.

KOTLIN KILLED

JAVA STARS
KOTLIN
EVERYTHING IS
AN OBJECT
val i: Int = 7
val d: Double = i.toDouble()
val c: Char = 'c'
val i: Int = c.toInt()
PROPERTIES
public class Person {

private String name;

public String getName() {


return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {


this.name = name;
}
}

...

Person person = new Person();


person.setName("name");
String name = person.getName();
class Person {

var name: String = ""

...

val person = Person()


person.name = "name"
val name = person.name
class Person {

var name: String = ""

get() = field.toUpperCase()

set(value) {
field = "Name: $value"
}

}
;
SEMICOLONS ARE NOT
NECESSARY
VAL VS VAR
MUTABLE (VAR)
Person person = new Person();

person = new Person();


var person = Person();

person = Person();
IMMUTABLE (VAL)
val s = "Example" // A String

val i = 23 // An Int
VAL
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
CLASSES
class MainActivity {

}
class Person(name: String, surname: String) {
init {
... // Default logic in the constructor
}
}
open class Animal(name: String)
class Person(firstName: String, lastName: String) : Animal(firstName)
FUNCTIONS
fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
}
THE BILLION-DOLLAR MISTAKE
NULL-SAFETY
Forecast forecast = null;

forecast.toString();
QUESTION MARKS TO IDENTIFY NULLABLE TYPES
val a: Int? = null
val a: Int? = null
a.toLong()
val a: Int? = null
...
if (a != null) {
a.toLong()
}
SAFE CALL OPERATOR (?.)
val a: Int? = null
...
a?.toLong()
ELVIS OPERATOR (?:)
val a: Int? = null
...
val myLong = a?.toLong() ?: 0L
val myLong = a?.toLong() ?: return false

val myLong = a?.toLong() ?: throw IllegalStateException()


val a: Int? = null
a!!.toLong()
LAMBDAS
public interface OnClickListener {
void onClick(View v);
}
fun setOnClickListener(listener: (View) -> Unit)
view.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), "Click", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
view.setOnClickListener(object : OnClickListener {
override fun onClick(v: View) {
toast("Click")
}
})
view.setOnClickListener({ view -> toast("Click")})
view.setOnClickListener({ toast("Click") })
view.setOnClickListener() { toast("Click") }
view.setOnClickListener { toast("Click") }
DATA CLASSES
data class Forecast(val date: Date, val temperature: Float, val details: String)
AVAILABLE METHOD
• equals(): it compares the properties from both objects to ensure they
are
identical.
• hashCode(): we get a hash code for free, also calculated from the
values of the
properties.
• copy(): you can copy an object, modifying the properties you need.
val f1 = Forecast(Date(), 27.5f, "Shiny day")
val f2 = f1.copy(temperature = 30f)
