Unit– V
Introduction to Android Development using Kotlin
❖ What is Kotlin?
➢ Kotlin is a statically typed, object-oriented programming language that is
interoperable with the Java virtual machine (JVM), Java Class Libraries and
Android.

➢ The Kotlin programming language was originally designed to improve


the Java programming language and is often used in conjunction with Java.

❖ What is Kotlin used for?


Kotlin is a general-purpose development language used mainly for Android mobile
app development. Besides Android apps, Kotlin is also useful for the following:

• Server-side development: Back-end web app development traditionally


uses Java. Kotlin can be used alongside Java for development on the server.
Kotlin supports Java Class Libraries.

• Full-stack web development: Developers use Kotlin for JavaScript to


translate Kotlin lines of code into JavaScript for front-end web development.
This approach lets them use the same code on the front and back ends.

• Multiplatform mobile development: Developers use Kotlin for Android


and other mobile platforms, including Apple iOS, Apple watchOS and
Linux.

• Data science: Kotlin is often used for data science tasks, such as building
data pipelines and putting machine learning models into production.
