Cannot use type T as a reified parameter, use class instead












1















Android Studio 3.4
Kotlin 1.3.10


I have the following method that calls findPreferences to return the correct value that is stored in shared preferences. However, as I am using reified the findPreferences give me an error: Cannot use type T as a reified parameter.



Is there anyway I can get this to work?



fun <T: Any> getValue(key: String, defaultValue: T?): T {
return findPreferences(key, defaultValue)
}


This is the method that will return the value based on the key



@Suppress("unchecked_cast")
inline fun <reified T: Any> findPreferences(key: String, defaultValue: T?): T {
with(sharedPreferences) {
val result: Any = when(defaultValue) {
is Boolean -> getBoolean(key, default)
is Int -> getInt(key, defaultValue)
is Long -> getLong(key, defaultValue)
is Float -> getFloat(key, defaultValue)
is String -> getString(key, defaultValue)
else -> {
throw UnsupportedOperationException("Cannot find preference casting error")
}
}
return result as T
}
}

          Remove reified or change getValue to inline fun <reified T: Any> getValue....



          With reified, we pass a type to this function(https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/inline-functions.html#reified-type-parameters). reified requires type to be known at compile time and obviously there is no enough type information in the getValue.
