Kotlin: inherit from a nested Java class










0















I have these Java classes in a .java file:



public class BaseOuter

public class BaseInner





And I have these Kotlin classes in a .kt file:



class DerivedOuter : BaseOuter()

class DerivedInner : BaseOuter.BaseInner()





This Kotlin code in Android Studio gives me an "Unresolved reference: BaseInner" error. So I can inherit from the BaseOuter class, but deriving from Java's BaseOuter.BaseInner is not syntactically correct (but if I try the same with inheritance from Kotlin classes I get no errors).



Somehow I can't google a same example or the question.

    For one thing, this doesn't work, because you have an inner class in Java but a static member class in Kotlin. For a class to be inner in Kotlin, you need to mark it with the inner keyword: inner class DerivedInner ...

  • You're welcome. I didn't think it would solve it (because the error says it can't resolve the reference which doesn't sound like the problem I mentioned) and I didn't have time to try it. Hence only a comment

The equivalent of Java's non-static nested class in Kotlin is inner class.



To make your code work, you need to use inner keyword:



class DerivedOuter() : BaseOuter() 
inner class DerivedInner : BaseOuter.BaseInner()
