How to vibrate an Android device coding with Kotlin when pressing any buttons? I have used this code below, but there aren't any effects or vibrations performed.
//click listener
    imgNextBtn.setOnClickListener {
        val vibe:Vibrator = activity?.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE) as Vibrator
        vibe.vibrate(500)
        Utilities.alertDialog(this,
                activity!!,
                mContent!!
    }
}
Or
 //click listener
    imgNextBtn.setOnClickListener {
        val vibe:Vibrator = activity?.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE) as Vibrator
        var effect:VibrationEffect = VibrationEffect.createOneShot(1000, VibrationEffect.DEFAULT_AMPLITUDE);
    vibe.vibrate(effect)
        
        Utilities.alertDialog(this,
                activity!!,
                mContent!!
    }
}
Android Manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.china.openkey">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
                You can create a fun and use from it (Kotlin):
fun Fragment.vibratePhone() {
    val vibrator = context?.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE) as Vibrator
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 26) {
        vibrator.vibrate(VibrationEffect.createOneShot(200, VibrationEffect.DEFAULT_AMPLITUDE))
    } else {
        vibrator.vibrate(200)
    }
}
And in your fragment:
vibratePhone()
Finally in you manifest:
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
                        Answer given by @R2R is perfect. But vibrate() method of Vibrator class is deprecated from API Level 26. So, I am giving you the updated code:
You don't have to change everything. Just update the code for vibration in MainActivity.kt.
MainActivity.kt:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        val btn_click_me = findViewById(R.id.btn_vibrate) as Button
        btn_click_me.setOnClickListener {
            val vibrator = getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE) as Vibrator
            if (vibrator.hasVibrator()) { // Vibrator availability checking
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
                    vibrator.vibrate(VibrationEffect.createOneShot(500, VibrationEffect.DEFAULT_AMPLITUDE)) // New vibrate method for API Level 26 or higher
                } else {
                    vibrator.vibrate(500) // Vibrate method for below API Level 26
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
