Nullability and LiveData with Kotlin

Question

I want to use LiveData with Kotlin and have values that should not be null. How do you deal with this? Perhaps a wrapper around LiveData? Searching for good patterns here .. As

Answer 1

I created an extension property. It's not super pretty, but it is pretty straightforward.

val  LiveData.valueNN
    get() = this.value!!

Usage

spinner.loading = myLiveData.valueNN.homeState.loading

I'm not sold on appending "NN" as a good naming convention, but that's beyond the scope of the question :)
