Android Studio (Kotlin) how to convert StringArray to MutableList

Question

I want to get a StringArray from Resources and convert it into a MutableList

I tried the following code

var morality = mutableListOf(activity.resources.getStringArray(R.string.morality))

but it gives me an error saying

Type mismatch Required: String? Found: ArrayOut<(out)String!>!

I solved it with

var morality = (activity.resources.getStringArray(R.string.morality).toMutableList())

You could also use mutableListOf(*activity.resources.getStringArray(R.string.morality)) (notice the *)

How to get String array like resources.getStringArray(R.array.category) ?
