Kotlin Foo::class.java “Unresolved Reference: Java” error

Question

I am trying to convert my Java code of HomePage.class to Kotlin. I am following the instructions on Kotlin.org:

getClass()

Answer 1

It turns out, I was using an older version of Kotlin, and it wasn't configured correctly. I edited the gradle file to include the latest beta version, and selected the option that configures Kotlin, and it works now.

In gradle:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.0.0-beta-3594'
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-android-extensions:$kotlin_version"
    }
}
...

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
}
