How to iterate two list in parallel in Kotlin?

Question

How do I iterate two lists in Kotlin? I want to assign each value in one list to the equivalent textview in another list, like 1 : 1 assignment.

Something like the following allows parallel iteration but it gets executed twice:

data class Total(val area : Double)

private fun assign(
    allArea: List<Double>, allTextViews : List<TextView>
) : Total {
    var totalArea = 0.0

    allArea.forEach { double ->
        val value : Double = double
        totalArea += value

        allTextViews.forEach { textView ->
            textView.text = value.toString()
        }
    }
    return Total(totalArea)
}

assign(allStates = listOf(
        a,
        b
    ),
    allTextViews = listOf(
        textView1,
        textView2)
)

Answer 1

Try to zip two lists:

fun main() {
    val list1 = listOf(1,2,3)
    val list2 = listOf(4,5,6)
    list1.zip(list2).forEach {pair -> 
       println(pair.component1() + pair.component2())
    }
}

This prints:

5
7
9

In your case given the allArea list and allTextViews have the same length, you can zip them and get the pair of which the first component will be of type Double, and the second is of type TextView
