fun() Talk: Exploring Kotlin Functions
summary
Shows how Java methods convert to Kotlin functions using the Java-to-Kotlin converter and Kotlin Koans and demonstrates concrete fixes: use @JvmStatic/@JvmName to clean Java interop, generate overloads with @JvmOverloads, and declare extension functions for Context like toast and view visibility. Builds wrappers for shared preferences and fragment factories, uses inline to avoid allocations for higher-order lambdas, and proves these patterns reduce boilerplate while preserving performance and Java compatibility.
