Kotlin Generic Property

Question

Is there a way in kotlin to create a generic property without declaring a class level generic type? Something that looks like this:

interfac         


        

Answer 1

I'm a complete newbie to Kotlin, but a generic property is not really something wrong, is it?

What about this as a showcase. I do understand that this solution does not completely address your question.

interface BaseProperty {
  var value: T
}


class IntProperty(var stringVal: String) : BaseProperty {
  override var value: Int?
    get() = Integer.valueOf(stringVal)
    set(v: Int?) {
      stringVal = v.toString()
    }
}

Since the getter and setter of the property are also a functions, it would had been nice if I were able to specify T as generic type. I have tried to use getValue and setValue as generic functions and that seems to work, but not using the Kotlin property idiom.
