How to convert java primitive float to Kotlin Float?

Question

I am trying to convert primitive float from java to Float in kotlin like this:

kotlinFloat = myJavaObject.floatProperty()

But I am getting error that the types are not compatible etc.

I was looking like everywhere to find the answer but I was not able to. I was trying to create Float object -> Float(myJavaObject.floatProperty()) but it is failling since Float constructor is private.

I am very new to kotlin and I know this sounds stupid but I was trying to find the answer for like 20 minutes and could not find any.

Kotlin has to___ extension methods for things like this. What you need is toFloat()

kotlinFloat = myJavaObject.floatProperty().toFloat()
