James B :
When starting to build my first code generation annotation, I've found I can't generate Android classes, such as SharedPreferences, since I start with a Java Library module in order to extend AbstractProcessor. I'm using kotlinpoet to generate my class, but need to create a property that is of type SharedPreferences.Editor which doesn't seem to be supported. I'm trying to something like the following:
val editorProperty = PropertySpec.builder("editor", android.content.SharedPreferences.Editor)
but this fails since the android package is not available. Does anyone know a workaround for this or is it just not possible?
Юрий Бородкин :
You can simply use
PropertySpec.builder("editor",ClassName("android.content", "SharedPreferences.Editor"))
as kotlin poet doc says - Type names are dumb identifiers only and do not model the values they name.
