Static Inner Class in Kotlin

Question

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.

Answer 1

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 {     ...     } } 

Answer 2

You can also change the "class" to "object"

class OuterA {   object InnerB {   ... } } 

OR

object OuterA {   object InnerB {   ... } }
