Enum annotations in Kotlin

Question

I have an enumeration that is serialized/deserialized by Gson:

enum class PacketType {
    NONE;
    [SerializedName(\"request\")]
    REQUEST;
    [Serializ         


        

Answer 1

Looks like a bug to me. Please report to the issue tracker.

As a temporary workaround, you can write this class in Java

Answer 2

The issue is now fixed, your code now works fine in Kotlin M9 (0.9.66). If you upgrade to that it'll work as you expect.

e.g.

app build.gradle

dependencies {
 compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
 compile 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:0.9.66'
 compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3'
}

top-level build.gradle

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.13.2'
    classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:0.9.+'
 }
}

I confirmed this by making an enum with no relation between the enum names and SerializedName names, and it worked as expected.
