Calling java function from kotlin

Android
1

Hello,
When using RxJava in Kotlin.When subscribing to a Single I use the following subscribe() overload

public final fun subscribe( onCallback: ((t1: User!, t2: Throwable!) → Unit)!)

In the implementation I have a following check:

        if (t1 == null) return@subscribe

This check generates a compile time warning that (t1==null) is always false
I wonder how does compiler know that at compile time if User! means that t1 can be of type User or User?

Thanks.

It looks like you’re trying to specify platform types for User! and Throwable!, which is not possible. Is that the actual signature? Here’s the docs on platform types and null safety

Thanks.
Actual signature is:

public final Disposable subscribe(final BiConsumer<? super T, ? super Throwable> onCallback)

which in Kotlin is:

public final fun subscribe( onCallback: ((t1: User!, t2: Throwable!) → Unit)!)

Can you post the code around your if (t1 == null) return@subscribe line? When a platform type is returned, how you declare it tells the compiler if it should be considered nullable or not.

Sure, this is what I have:

.subscribe { source, _ →
if (source == null) return@subscribe
doSomething(source)
}

Thanks.
