Operator == cannot be applied to 'Long' and 'Int' in Kotlin

Question

I'm attempting to implement parts of Mike Penz' NavigationDrawer (https://github.com/mikepenz/MaterialDrawer) in Kotlin. Since then I've run into only a few issues, primarily with operators. Here is part of the code to instantiate the drawer itself. Android Studio doesn't throw any errors except where I'm using the == operator on int and Long variables:

        // Create the Drawer
        result = DrawerBuilder()
                .withSliderBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.top_header))
                .withActivity(this)
                .withToolbar(toolbar)
                .withHasStableIds(true)
                .withItemAnimator(AlphaCrossFadeAnimator())
                .withAccountHeader(headerResult!!)
                .addDrawerItems(
                        PrimaryDrawerItem().withName(R.string.drawer_item_profile).withIcon(FontAwesome.Icon.faw_user).withIdentifier(1).withSelectable(false).withIconColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.icon_grey)).withTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.stroke)),
                        PrimaryDrawerItem().withName(R.string.drawer_item_create).withIcon(FontAwesome.Icon.faw_paint_brush).withIdentifier(2).withSelectable(false).withIconColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.icon_grey)).withTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.stroke)),
                        PrimaryDrawerItem().withName(R.string.drawer_item_yaanich_news).withIcon(FontAwesome.Icon.faw_newspaper_o).withIdentifier(3).withSelectable(false).withIconColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.icon_grey)).withTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.stroke)),
                        PrimaryDrawerItem().withName(R.string.drawer_item_my_groups).withIcon(FontAwesome.Icon.faw_users).withIdentifier(4).withSelectable(false).withIconColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.icon_grey)).withTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.stroke)),
                        PrimaryDrawerItem().withName(R.string.drawer_item_settings).withIcon(FontAwesome.Icon.faw_cog).withIdentifier(5).withSelectable(false).withIconColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.icon_grey)).withTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext, R.color.stroke))
                )
                .withOnDrawerItemClickListener { view, position, drawerItem ->

                    if (drawerItem != null) {
                        var intent: Intent? = null
                        if (drawerItem.identifier == (1) {
                            intent = Intent(this, UserProfileActivity::class.java)
                        } else if (drawerItem.identifier == 2) {
                            intent = Intent(this, YeetActivity::class.java)
                        } else if (drawerItem.identifier == 3) {
                            intent = Intent(this, RssActivity::class.java)
                        } else if (drawerItem.identifier == 4) {
                            intent = Intent(this, GroupsActivity::class.java)
                        } else if (drawerItem.identifier == 5) {
                            intent = Intent(this, UserSettingsActivity::class.java)
                        }
                        if (intent != null) {
                            this.startActivity(intent)
                        }
                    }
                    false
                }
                .withSavedInstance(savedInstanceState)
                .withShowDrawerOnFirstLaunch(true)
                .build()

        RecyclerViewCacheUtil<IDrawerItem<*, *>>().withCacheSize(2).apply(result!!.recyclerView, result!!.drawerItems)

        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            result!!.setSelection(21, false)
            headerResult!!.activeProfile = profile
        }
    }

Errors:

if (drawerItem.identifier == (1)

if (drawerItem.identifier == 2)

Operator == cannot be applied to 'Long and' 'Int'

Answer 1

Simply use long on your right side

if (drawerItem.identifier == 1L)

Edit: the reason this is required is that Kotlin does not promote Ints to Longs (or, more generally, does not widen types); on the left side we had a Long and on the right side we had an Int, which lead to the error. Explicitly indicating that the right side is a Long fixes the error.
