Can an enum class implement an interface? Yes, it can implement an interface - but it cannot inherit from classes. Here's an example of an enum class implementing an interface: In this example, SomeWorker is an enum class that implements SomeInterface. Each enum constant A and B provides its own implementation of the doWork function declared in the interface. Although an enum class can implement an interface, it cannot inherit from another class because every enum in Kotlin implicitly inherits from Enum (which is a special class in Kotlin). #kotlin #kotlindeveloper #androiddevelopment #android #jetpackcompose #jetbrains #selfawarenessjourney

Making an attempt to use Compose Multiplatform (also applies to Jetpack Compose) to handle multiple screen sizes. I used this as an avenue to learn and play with Android's Material 3 WindowSizeClass (https://lnkd.in/gH2_fCSX). I also stumbled upon this library https://lnkd.in/gMQZqzXP which helped in adapting the above class for Compose Multiplatform. With the solid array of libraries coming into the Kotlin Multiplatform ecosystem, I strongly view this as a go-to for cross-platform development in the future. #composemultiplatform #kotlinmultiplatform
