How to reference a lambda from inside it?

Question

I am trying to get height of a view in onCreate method but I couldn\'t find any way to remove OnGlobalLayoutListener.

In Java (working):

containerLay         


        

Answer 1

Referencing a lambda from inside it is not supported.

As a workaround, you might use anonymous object instead of lambda SAM-converted to Java functional interface OnGlobalLayoutListener:

containerLayout.viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(object: OnGlobalLayoutListener {
    override fun onGlobalLayout() {
        // your code here. `this` should work
    }
})
