Custom View constructor in Android 4.4 crashes on Kotlin, how to fix?

Question

I have a custom view written in Kotlin using JvmOverloads that I could have default value.

class MyView @JvmOverloads constructor(
    context: Context,
    attr         


        

Answer 1

Best way is to have your class this way.

class MyView : LinearLayout {
    @JvmOverloads constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = 0) : super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)
    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?, defStyleAttr: Int, defStyleRes: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes)
}
