What alternative to an Inner static Class can I use in Kotlin Language, if it exists? If not, how can I solve this problem when I need to use a static class in Kotlin? See code example below:
inner class GeoTask : AsyncTask<Util, Util, Unit>() { override fun doInBackground(vararg p0: Util?) { LocationUtil(this@DisplayMembers).startLocationUpdates() } } I've searched a lot, haven't found anything, Thank you very much in advance.

Android Dependency Injection using Dagger with Kotlin In Java, once a method is declared as "static", it can be used in different classes without creating an object. With static methods, we don't have to create the same boilerplate code for each and every class.
A static inner class is a nested class which is a static member of the outer class. It can be accessed without instantiating the outer class, using other static members. Just like static members, a static nested class does not have access to the instance variables and methods of the outer class.
As with instance methods and variables, an inner class is associated with an instance of its enclosing class and has direct access to that object's methods and fields. Also, because an inner class is associated with an instance, it cannot define any static members itself.
Just omit the inner in Kotlin.
Inner class (holding reference to outer object)
Java:
class A { class B { ... } } Kotlin:
class A { inner class B { ... } } Static inner class aka nested class (no reference to outer object)
Java:
class A { static class B { ... } } Kotlin:
class A { class B { ... } } You can also change the "class" to "object"
class OuterA { object InnerB { ... } } OR
object OuterA { object InnerB { ... } } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
