Pass a type as parameter

Issue

I have this function which deletes all elements of a type in a layout.

fun DeleteAllOfTypeInLayout(t:TYPE){
    for(child in layout.children){
        if(child is t)
            layout.removeView(child)
    }
}

How can have this TYPE parameter?

Solution

Check Kotlin's Reified type parameters

inline fun <reified T> DeleteAllOfTypeInLayout() {
    for (child in layout.children) {
        if (child is T)
            layout.removeView(child)
    }
}

// DeleteAllOfTypeInLayout<TextView>()
