What I'm forgetting while using LET?

Support
1

I’m using retrofit and in the onResponse, when I try to get body information with (Let), the inside code is not executed.

response?.body()?.let {
  Log.i("Info", "Cidades: " + it.size)
}

If I try this, it doesn’t work either:

response?.body()?.let {
  Log.i("Info", "Cidades: " + it.size)
}

But if I try to check if it’s null, the code runs:

if (response != null) {
  if (response.body() != null){
    Log.i("Info", "Cidades: " + response.body()?.size)
  }
}

What I’m missing?

What is the exact error shown?

None, the code inside (Let) just doesn’t execute. Here is the whole code.

call.enqueue(object: Callback<List<Cidade>?> {
            override fun onResponse(call: Call<List<Cidade>?>?, response: Response<List<Cidade>?>?) {
                /*Not Working*/
                response?.let {
                    Log.i("Info", "Cidades: " + it.body()?.size)
                }

                /*Workin*/
                if (response != null) {
                    if (response.body() != null){
                        Log.i("Info", "Cidades: " + response.body()?.size)
                    }
                }
            }

            override fun onFailure(call: Call<List<Cidade>?>?,
                                   t: Throwable?) {
                var error = t?.message.toString()
                Log.e("error", error)

                txtErrorMessage.text = error
                txtErrorMessage.visibility = View.VISIBLE
            }
        })

What does the working code prints?

That’s the problem, it doesn’t print anything, the code just doesn’t get inside the (Let) clause, the code continues to run.

This works

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val response = Response
    response?.body()?.let {
        println("Cidades: " + it.size)
    }
}

object Response {
    fun body() = listOf(1, 2, 3)
}
