Description

On Android, the following code crashes with exception:

Caused by: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast object 'boom!' with class 'java.lang.String' to class 'int'

@CompileStatic
public final class HomeActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

  private String result

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

    this.result = "boom!"

  }

}

The reason is a base class declares `setResult` method: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#setResult%28int%29

Crash only happens when using
this.result = "boom!"
and not when
result = "boom!"
