Kotlin when with multiple values not working when value is an android view

Question

I implemented a function that is used in anko's apply recursively:

fun applyTemplateViewStyles(view: View) {     when(view) {         is EditText, TextView -> {             ....         }     } } 

And I receive an error saying that "Function invocation 'TextView(...)' expected"

Since I can write an when with a clause like is 0, 1, why I can't do the same with an Android View?

You're missing the other is:

fun applyTemplateViewStyles(view: View) {     when(view) {         is EditText, is TextView -> {             println("view is either EditText or TextView")         }         else -> {             println("view is something else")         }     } }
