A simple project showing how to set up an Android project to work with Kotlin AND Facebook's Litho.

Check out the litho-retrofit branch for a more advanced example showing how to load a webservice response into a Recycler using RxJava and Retrofit.

Apart from the regular Kotlin and Litho setup two changes are important:

In your app module's build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

dependencies {
...

  def lithoVersion = '0.2.0'
  compile "com.facebook.litho:litho-core:$lithoVersion"
  compile "com.facebook.litho:litho-widget:$lithoVersion"
  provided "com.facebook.litho:litho-annotations:$lithoVersion"
  kapt "com.facebook.litho:litho-annotations:$lithoVersion" // in addition(!) to the "provided" line
  kapt "com.facebook.litho:litho-processor:$lithoVersion" // kapt instead of annotationprocessor or apt
  compile "com.facebook.soloader:soloader:$lithoVersion"
  debugCompile "com.facebook.litho:litho-stetho:$lithoVersion"
  compile "com.facebook.litho:litho-fresco:$lithoVersion"
  testCompile("com.facebook.litho:litho-testing:$lithoVersion") {
      exclude group: 'com.google.code.findbugs'
  }
}

In your Litho component specs (thanks to @grandstaish for the @JvmStatic hint):

@LayoutSpec
class ListItemSpec { // no object!!!

  companion object {

      @JvmStatic // important!!!
      @OnCreateLayout
      fun onCreateLayout(context: ComponentContext): ComponentLayout = Column.create(context)
              .paddingDip(YogaEdge.ALL, 16)
              .backgroundColor(Color.WHITE)
              .child(
                      Text.create(context)
                              .text("Hello world")
                              .textSizeSp(40f)
              )
              .child(
                      Text.create(context)
                              .text("Litho tutorial")
                              .textSizeSp(20f)
              )
              .build()
  }
}
