Kotlin - idiomatic way to create a Fragment newInstance pattern

Question

The best practice on Android for creating a Fragment is to use a static factory method and pass arguments in a Bundle via setArguments()

Answer 1

Kotlin package-level function

What about about that kotlin says to use package level function instead of “static” method

MyFragment.kt

class MyFragment : Fragment() {

    .....

}

fun MyFragmentNewInstance(): MyFragment {
    return MyFragment()
}

MyActivity.kt

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    if (supportFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.fragmentContainer) == null) {
        supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
            .add(R.id.fragmentContainer, MyFragmentNewInstance())
            .commit()
    }
}
