Overriding multiple versions of constructor in Kotlin

Question

I was trying to implement CustomView in Kotlin, which is to be used both for programatically and for statically. Thus, I need to override both versions of constructors.

For programatically I use version,

class CustomView @JvmOverloads constructor(
   context: Context, 
) : View(context)

For statically I use version,

class CustomView @JvmOverloads constructor(
  context: Context, 
  attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
) : View(context, attrs)

How can I change it for overriding multiple versions under same class which then I can instantiate from static views as well as programatically?

There are some post on constructors i.e. Kotlin secondary constructor which does not help for overriding multiple versions of constructor.

Answer 1

This should work both programatically and statically :-

class CustomView @JvmOverloads constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = 0) : View(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)

Programatically just call :-

CustomView(context) // passing other params to constructor is not mandatory..
