Kotlin version about tableview

[jeremy-ingenuity]

Hello again, @evrencoskun , here's the Kotlin version of your library (android-tableview-kotlin). Thank you very much!

[jeremy-ingenuity]

Hi @evrencoskun , I am happy to tell you that I have successfully ported your TableView library into a Kotlin version (with all current features as of version 0.8.6), I will be releasing an initial version after I have fully implemented all features in a demo application and checked for possible bugs. I will include you in the copyright notice and credits as original author, idea and implementation. I manually ported each file so that I will understand your implementation and learn Kotlin at the same time. Thank you very much for your library (I implemented this in a project application and its way easier/less complicated than to use TableLayout).

Hi @jeremy-ingenuity ,

For now, I don't have a plan to write the sources using kotlin. I will spend time on improving the basic features, I think it makes more sense for people like me who have limited time.

For example;

• Creating a better document of TableView.
• Making usage of TableView much easier.
• Providing much more smooth scrolling operation.
• Adding the features that should be on TableView.
• Reviewing the code changes of contributers.

In my opinion, the things like that are more important now for me. However, In the future when this library reaches a reasonable level, I might consider spending time with it.

Hello @evrencoskun , good to know the roadmap of your library. I asked this because most developers (including me) are now transitioning to Kotlin, and given the features and ease of implementation of your library, might as well, a Kotlin port would be necessary and useful in the future for other people looking for a TableView library. I am considering writing that port (if you don't mind), BUT I also have limited free time and cannot dedicate on developing it entirely: might as well help you in the improvement of this library for now.

Of course, it might be necessary in the future. I think so too.

I am considering writing that port (if you don't mind),

Sure. That would be great!

BUT I also have limited free time and cannot dedicate on developing it entirely: might as well help you in the improvement of this library for now.

I have just googled. and I am not sure, it works but It seems there are some ways to convert java library to kotlin directly.

Thank you very much for your all collaboration.

@evrencoskun i traduce the library tableview Java to Kotlin, now don't have time for a starting the proyect

[evrencoskun]

Hi @bbf-developer,

Unfortunately, I don't get what you say. Have you already produced? or something?

[evrencoskun]

Oh! This is a good news! @jeremy-ingenuity.

I think Kotlin is a perfectly fine thing to use. Maybe, After I feel comfortable using Kotlin, I would like to contribute the Kotlin port of the TableView as well :)

I implemented this in a project application and its way easier/less complicated than to use TableLayout

Looking forward to seeing that.

Thank you for your effort and your sensitivity.

Have a nice week.

looks great :) @jeremy-ingenuity
