Kotlin Extension Methods Extensions for easier reference View from code
Example
You can use extensions for reference View, no more boilerplate after you created the views.
Original Idea is by Anko Library
Extensions
inline fun <reified T : View> View.find(id: Int): T = findViewById(id) as T
inline fun <reified T : View> Activity.find(id: Int): T = findViewById(id) as T
inline fun <reified T : View> Fragment.find(id: Int): T = view?.findViewById(id) as T
inline fun <reified T : View> RecyclerView.ViewHolder.find(id: Int): T = itemView?.findViewById(id) as T
inline fun <reified T : View> View.findOptional(id: Int): T? = findViewById(id) as? T
inline fun <reified T : View> Activity.findOptional(id: Int): T? = findViewById(id) as? T
inline fun <reified T : View> Fragment.findOptional(id: Int): T? = view?.findViewById(id) as? T
inline fun <reified T : View> RecyclerView.ViewHolder.findOptional(id: Int): T? = itemView?.findViewById(id) as? T
Usage
val yourButton by lazy { find<Button>(R.id.yourButtonId) }
val yourText by lazy { find<TextView>(R.id.yourTextId) }
val yourEdittextOptional by lazy { findOptional<EditText>(R.id.yourOptionEdittextId) }
