Unresolved reference thread












1















I am attempting to spin up a new thread in kotlin for android, using kotlin.concurrency.thread However I keep getting:



 Unresolved reference: thread


I thought this was in the standard library?



Actual code:



fun identify(userId: Integer) {
thread() {
CustomExceptionHandler(context)
DoStuffClass.doStuff(context, userId)
}
}

    Have you added the stdlib for your jdk version? see here: kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/…

The correct import statement is:



import kotlin.concurrent


The sample code should be:



fun identify(userId: Integer) {
thread {
CustomExceptionHandler(context)
DoStuffClass.doStuff(context, userId)
}
}


Because the thread function is defined as:



/**
* Creates a thread that runs the specified [block] of code.
*
* @param start if `true`, the thread is immediately started.
* @param isDaemon if `true`, the thread is created as a daemon thread. The Java Virtual Machine exits when
* the only threads running are all daemon threads.
* @param contextClassLoader the class loader to use for loading classes and resources in this thread.
* @param name the name of the thread.
* @param priority the priority of the thread.
*/
public fun thread(
start: Boolean = true,
isDaemon: Boolean = false,
contextClassLoader: ClassLoader? = null,
name: String? = null,
priority: Int = -1,
block: () -> Unit
): Thread {
...
}


As explained here, the thread function uses a lambda as the last parameter, then, by Kotlin syntax, a single parameter function didn't need the parenthesis, just the lambda block.
