无法在Kotlin中调用FileProvider的getUriForFile

Question

I am encountered a strange behavior in Kotlin when creating a custom File provider like this

import android.support.v4.content.FileProvider
class MyFileProvider: FileProvider()

I cannot make this call MyFileProvider.getUriForFile(... Android studio cannot resolve the reference fro getUriForFile

But with java it works

import android.support.v4.content.FileProvider;

public class MyFileProvider extends FileProvider {
}

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

getUriForFile() is static
Kotlin doesn't inherit static methods, as there's no such thing as static in Kotlin, and you can't really inherit them.
But you can simply use FileProvider.getUriForFile()
