Function with vararg param clashes with another with Array param

Question

I'm overloading a function but I came across a problem

fun setNumbers(numbers: Array<Int>) {

}

clashes with

fun setNumbers(vararg numbers : Int) {

}

but none of them can deal with both

setAdapters(Array...)
setAdapters(varargs...)

is there any trick to make both of them not clash or accept both calls?

There isn't a real trick in the sense that you can't avoid the clash (without changing the name of the function), but you can call the vararg function as follows:

setNumbers(*intArrayOf(1, 2, 3))

Yeah this is the way the docs tell you to use an existing array: kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/…
