I'm trying to use a resource string inside a companion object that is inside a data class. but I don't Know how to obtain context in that case in Kotlin. Anyone knows how to do it?
data class PhoneCall(
val type: String,
val code: String,
val description: String){
companion object{
const val SOLUTION_NO_SOLUTION = "NO_SOLUTION"
const val SOLUTION_TOMORROW = "71_INAT"
const val SOLUTION_TODAY = "72_INAT"
val solutions = listOf(
PhoneCall(Service.Traffic.PICK_UP, SOLUTION_NO_SOLUTION, Resources.getSystem().getString(R.string.makeService))
)
}
I need to use a resource string in the 3 parameter, but I'm not able to get the context.

You can modify you PhoneCall model to store a string resource id instead of the actual string.
data class PhoneCall(
val type: String,
val code: String,
@StringRes val description: Int
) {
companion object {
const val SOLUTION_NO_SOLUTION = "NO_SOLUTION"
const val SOLUTION_TOMORROW = "71_INAT"
const val SOLUTION_TODAY = "72_INAT"
val solutions = listOf(
PhoneCall(Service.Traffic.PICK_UP, SOLUTION_NO_SOLUTION, R.string.makeService)
)
}
}
Then, when you need to display this data in the UI (say a TextView), you can fetch the string from the resource id.
descriptionTextView.text = getString(phoneCall.description)
