There has been a simultaneous increase in cross-platform programming, a much awaited switch from core native (that is expensive) and an increase in interest in progressive web apps. Technologies like Kotlin, AR, VR, IoT, Chatbots have further strengthened Android App Development.<\/p>\n<p>Right since Java originated, mobile app developers have been using it to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/android-app-development\" target=\"_blank\">develop Android apps<\/a>. But few know that Android has officially adopted Kotlin as the supported language for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">mobile app development services<\/a>. Android developers are often confused as to which programming language would acquire the scenario in the future but Java is still favorite for Android App Development. It is the second most popular language (67%) on GITHUB in 2018 after JavaScript (97%).\u00a0One of the burning questions these days is a differentiation between Java and Kotlin. Android apps can be written in any language and can run on Java virtual machine (JVM). Kotlin is one such JVM compatible programming language that compiles down to Java <em>bytecode<\/em> and has really caught the attention of the Android Community.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of browsing all the way down, according to me, by all odds it\u2019s Kotlin.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"1\">What is Kotlin?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kotlin is a general-purpose programming language and it was first introduced by JetBrains in 2011, which is the originator of IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and many other top IDEs. It got its name from \u2018Kotlin Island\u2019 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Kotlin was actually created to be better than Java in every possible way. But JetBrains didn\u2019t put an effort to write an entirely new IDE\u2019s from scratch. This was the reason why Kotlin was made 100% interoperable with Java. If you\u2019re planning to fiddle around with Kotlin along with Java, you can do that without guilt.<\/p>\n<p>Kotlin sharing and app-cloud based services that offer a higher level feature set like Google Firebase will feature on Android as a platform in the coming times.<\/p>\n<h2>Kotlin programming language for:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Android<\/li>\n<li>Native<\/li>\n<li>JVM<\/li>\n<li>Browser<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"2\">Why Use Kotlin?<\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<h3 id=\"concise\">Concise:<\/h3>\n<p><em>Drastically decrease the volume of boilerplate code<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/concise.webp\" alt=\"Concise\" \/>Source: https:\/\/kotlinlang.org<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3 id=\"safe\">Safe:<\/h3>\n<p><em>Avoid whole classes of errors like null pointer exceptions.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/safe.webp\" alt=\"Safe\" \/>Source: https:\/\/kotlinlang.org<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3 id=\"interoperable\">Interoperable:<\/h3>\n<p><em>Use any\u00a0existing libraries for the Android, JVM, and the browser.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8663\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/interperable.webp\" alt=\"Interoperable\" \/>Source: https:\/\/kotlinlang.org<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"feature-title\">Tool-friendly:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"feature-title\"><em>Select any Java IDE or create from the command line.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Tooling.webp\" alt=\"Tooling\" \/>Source: https:\/\/kotlinlang.org<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"3\">Kotlin vs Java features comparison:<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table-bordered\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Kotlin<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Java<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Fully OPP (Object Oriented Programming)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Fully OPP<\/td>\n<td>Not Pure OPP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Functional Reactive Programming<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Lambda Expression<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>NULL Safety<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Invariant Array<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Smart Casts<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Singleton Objects<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Easily create Singleton Objects<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Checked Exception<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><span id=\"4\">Most Loved Programming Languages 2019<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/konstant-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/loved-languages.webp\" alt=\"Most Loved Languages\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/insights.stackoverflow.com\/survey\/2019#most-loved-dreaded-and-wanted<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/blog\/kotlin-is-the-new-java-for-developing-android-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kotlin is the New Java for Developing Android Apps<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"5\">Why would a Java Developer switch to Kotlin?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Android development has always been tagged with Java Development. But Kotlin has outpaced it in performance, simplicity, maintainability, robustness, and lightweight code. Developers and users lure for feature-rich, effective and cost-efficient mobile apps that help increase the efficiency of processes, increasing competencies, meet customers\u2019 expectations, help maintain business\u2019 reputation and remove uncertainty. That is quite a bit. Google has already extended its support to the Android community for using Kotlin as a \u2018first-class\u2019 language.<\/p>\n<p>Kotlin adds some modern features to Java Mobile Development like compiling the code to JavaScript or native to build code that can run on iOS.\u00a0It is easy as it works upon JVM, is statically typed and open-source language. Pinterest, Trello, Carlens are some amazing apps being created by Kotlin.<\/p>\n<p>Java has been a favorite option of developers for Android App Development ever since. It is an object-oriented language that is the second most loved language on GitHub. Been there for more than 20 years, its popularity only seems to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Although Kotlin seems to work back to back with Java for front-end development, it is already being utilized in backend projects like Spring 5. It can compile to almost every platform including Android, JVM, Native and JavaScript and can extract one common codebase that will target all of them at the same time. Its scripting capabilities make it easy to handle all Gradle build scripts. Its built-in null safety support makes it win over Android that is full of old Java-style API\u2019s. Being compatible with all Java libraries and frameworks, the JVM, Gradle integration and Mavel build systems, it allows Android developers to write new modules and write them alongside existing Java code. Plus it supports modern programming concepts like higher-order functions, extension functions, delegates which help build clean API\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>It always has Java by its side, due to the presence of Android SDK. Slower compilation seems to be the only feature that needs an update in Kotlin. Famous Java use cases include Android-oss, \u00a0NewPipe and WordPress Engineering, etc.<\/p>\n<p>So the main reason behind Kotlin\u2019s adoption is that it addresses issues left behind by Java and ranks amongst the top 5 favourite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/blog\/top-programming-languages\/\" target=\"_blank\">programing languages<\/a> amongst developers. Kotlin has inbuilt safety mechanisms as discussed above in addition to being concise and expressive than Java at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Java is a widely-used programming language and forms the basis of Android development. There can be many reasons why Java for Android Development is not always preferred:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Java is not a modern language<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Android only supports a subset of Java 8 features. In a way, Android developers are not able to reap the full benefits of Java. In case they require making use of Java, then they will have to stick to Java 7.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Java comes with some well-documented language issues like endless try-catch blocks, <em>null-unsafety, NullPointerExceptions<\/em> and lack of extendability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Java is still a procedural language although it is starting to add lambda expressions and functional interfaces recently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The syntax of Java is very complex and writing longer code can always be prone to more errors and bugs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Java can create issues with Android API design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you still need to remember most of the code while you code in Java? It can be creepy and messy sometimes!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Also read:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/blog\/java-vs-python\/\" target=\"_blank\">Java vs Python<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"6\">How can Java to Kotlin conversion be done?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Heard about JetBrains\u2019 Java to Kotlin converter integrated into IntelliJ? It seems like an easy option but is not completely error-free. But it can help save a lot of code. Migrating the entire Java code can be tiresomely long without it.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"7\">What Kotlin programming language does better?<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>It removes the tragedy faced while adding an existing object.<\/li>\n<li>Omits the need to learn new languages.<\/li>\n<li>Removes or reduces the need to write native code for some features.<\/li>\n<li>Drops the need to be laggy in some specific cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"8\">How can switch from Java to Kotlin be helpful?<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Kotlin is definitely a modern answer to older Java. There are some factors that make Kotlin stand out from the crowd, as there are many options available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Kotlin is simultaneously operable with Java. We can have both Java and Kotlin code co-exist within a single project. Both codes can compile perfectly and users are not even able to make out which part of the code is Kotlin and which part is Java.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Kotlin and Java classes can be written simultaneously. There is no requirement to convert the entire project to Kotlin or starting a new project. Alternatively, small chunks of codes can be written in Kotlin and can be inserted as and when required, without affecting the entire code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Kotlin has the majority of Java libraries and frameworks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Kotlin is a simple enhancement of Java, so a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/java-application-development\" target=\"_blank\">java\u00a0developer<\/a> or an existing java application user will be easily able to comprehend what Kotlin code is doing. It looks familiar, the code is easy to read and understand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Kotlin aims to gel up with the best of both functional as well as procedural approaches, as there is no easy answer to which approach is best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Android studio has excellent support for Kotlin. After you install the Kotlin plugin, Android Studio makes it easy to configure the Kotlin plugin in your project. Once this is done, the IDE will automatically understand the underlying functionality like Kotlin code compilation and execution. Debugging, code navigation, unit testing, auto-completion and full refactoring support. Once all of this is set, converting an entire Java code into Kotlin can be accomplished in a single click.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span id=\"9\">Top Brands that are Using Kotlin in Their Development Environments?<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table-bordered\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Name of Brand<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>Type<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Uber<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>On Demand Taxi Service<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Evernote<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Organize Your Notes with Evernote<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Gradle<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Tool for multi-language software development<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pinterest<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Image sharing and social media service platform<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pivotal<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Cloud platform hosting<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Atlassian<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Software Development and Collaboration Tools<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Corda<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Open Source Blockchain Platform for Business<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Coursera<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Open online course provider<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"10\">Lopping off<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Out of various programming paradigms, which are currently in use, it\u2019s not easy to evaluate which approach will turn out to be the best or reap rewards beyond expectations.
