kotlin missing methods for GoogleMap

I'm converting part of an app to kotlin and I've a problem caused by the intellisense of Android Studio (3.5.3) not showing all methods of googleMaps

this is an example:

override fun onMapReady(googleMap: GoogleMap) {
    map = googleMap
    map.setBuildingsEnabled(true)
    map.setTrafficEnabled(true)

    map.setOnMapLoadedCallback(OnMapLoadedCallback {
        if (currentMission != null) {
            drawMission()
        } else {
            drawNoMission()
        }
    })
}

for instance I can't see map.setBuildingsEnabled in intellisense, see image

enter image description here

but if I force to call that hidden method, the app still builds, so it's something caused by kotlin or intellisense It may be related to the gray suggestion I got regarding property access maybe (but this isn't a property because on google maps there isn't a getBuildingsEnabled

enter image description here

did anyone knows how to fix this annoying problem? I don't want kotlin to hide methods that may be useful to me, thanks.

Methods that follow the Java conventions for getters and setters (no-argument methods with names starting with ‘get’ and single-argument methods with names starting with ‘set’) are represented as properties in Kotlin.

In other words if you had a Java method setTrafficEnabled(true) Kotlin will provide you a property access syntax isTrafficEnabled = true. This is one of Kotlin advantages.

If you ignore Kotlin property access syntax and use getters and setters, it will work all the same.
