What is the best way to represent a static Java method in Kotlin?

Answer 1

You need to pass companion object for static method because kotlin don’t have static keyword - Members of the companion object can be called by using simply the class name as the qualifier:

package xxx
    class ClassName {
              companion object {
                       fun helloWord(str: String): String {
                            return stringValue
                      }
              }
    }
