Kotlin crashes on Android when selected item view is null

Question

I am getting an error and the app dies when I run it.

This is the error:

Answer 1

In onItemSelected(), the selectedItemView argument may be null when nothing is selected. Change its type to View? instead of View and properly handle the case where nothing is selected.

Example (index is also negative when nothing is selected):

override fun onItemSelected(parentView: AdapterView<*>, selectedItemView: View?, position: Int, id: Long) {
    if (position >= 0) {
        sex = parentView.getItemAtPosition(position).toString()
    }
}
