How to get application from constructor, if i want to use it in this method?

Solution

  • If you add private val application you will have exceptions in compilation time like

    Accidental override: The following declarations have the same JVM signature

    So, to fix it, you only should to call getApplication() where you require.

    SearchRecentSuggestions(getApplication(), MySuggestionsProvider.AUTHORITY, MySuggestionsProvider.MODE).clearHistory()
