Compiler breaks on try, catch in android inside extension function

The error happens if you use try,catch inside btn.setOnClickListener on 123.67

``


  public fun handleDownloadRecursiveOpml(){
  var btn = findView<Button>(R.id.tryout_download_recursive_opml_btn)
  btn.setOnClickListener {
           var req: String?
           val url = “http://opmlviewer.com/Content/Directories.opml

           try{
           req = HttpRequest.get(url)?.body()
           }
           catch(e: HttpRequestException){
           var ex = e.getCause()
           Log.d(TAG, “Error in downloading OPML $url”)
           toastee(“Error in downloading OPML from $url”)
           }

           val opml = transformFromXml(req)

           if(opml.isTrue()){
           toastee(“Opml parsing is Great”)
           }   else{
           toastee(“Error in parsing opml ${opml.exception?.getMessage()}”)
           }
  }
  }

public fun OnClickListener(action: (View?) -> Unit): OnClickListener {
  return object : OnClickListener {
  public override fun onClick(p0: View?) {
           action(p0)
  }
  }
}

public fun View.setOnClickListener(action: (View?) -> Unit): Unit {
  setOnClickListener(OnClickListener(action))
}

It works fine if I don't use the extension function

``

public fun handleDownloadRecursiveOpml(){
  var btn = findView<Button>(R.id.tryout_download_recursive_opml_btn)

  &nbsp;&nbsp;btn.setOnClickListener(object: OnClickListener{

           public override fun onClick(p0: View?) {
           var req: String? = “”
           val url = “http://opmlviewer.com/Content/Directories.opml

           try{
                   req = HttpRequest.get(url)?.body()
           }
           catch(e: HttpRequestException){
                   var ex = e.getCause()
                   Log.d(TAG, “Error in downloading OPML $url”)
                   toastee(“Error in downloading OPML from $url”)
           }

           val opml = transformFromXml(req)

           if(opml.isTrue()){
                   toastee(“Opml parsing is Great”)
           }   else{
                   toastee(“Error in parsing opml ${opml.exception?.getMessage()}”)
           }
           }
  })
  }

Thank you for your report! There is a bug in kotlin: missed error about "initialized variable":

``

var req: String?
val url = “<a href=”http://opmlviewer.com/Content/Directories.opml“>http://opmlviewer.com/Content/Directories.opml

try{
  req = HttpRequest.get(url)?.body()
}
catch(e: HttpRequestException){
  var ex = e.getCause()
  Log.d(TAG, “Error in downloading OPML $url”)
  toastee(“Error in downloading OPML from $url”)
}

val opml = transformFromXml(req) // Should be an error here (Variable ‘req’ must be initialized)


So you can use try…catch in extension function, but you have to initialize ‘req’ variable before block, in finally block or in both branches (try, catch).
