Android Studio will walk you through adding Kotlin dependencies into your project and convert the code to functionally equivalent Kotlin code.

Google's Android Studio 3.0 dev environment has just become available in the stable channel, with built-in support for Kotlin and Java 8.

Kotlin offers big advantages over Java for JVM and Android development, and plays nicely with Java in the same projects.

Kotlin is a super new programming language built by JetBrains, which also coincidentally develops the JetBrains IDE that Android Studio — Google’s official developer tool — is based on.

Google launches Android 11 Beta 1, Android Studio improvements, Kotlin coroutines, Jetpack updates, and a refreshed Google Play Console in beta.
