I have been developing Android applications using Java until now, but I’ve come across conflicting opinions on the internet regarding the superiority of Java or Kotlin for Android development. I am starting a new and important Android project. I want to make sure I choose the best programming language for that.
Can someone provide insights on the benefits and drawbacks of both Java and Kotlin for Android development? Which language is generally considered better and more useful for building robust Android applications? Additionally, if there are any specific considerations I should be aware of when making this decision, please let me know.
I appreciate any guidance or recommendations based on personal experience or industry best practices.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Any language be it Java or Kotlin both are amazing in there own way.
Java can be used in server-side applications, databases, web front-end applications, mobile applications, etc. Kotlin is similarly versatile: It targets the JVM, Android, JavaScript, and Kotlin/Native, and can also be used for server-side, web, and desktop development. Kotlin provides certain inline functions whereas Java does not have such similar functions. In Kotlin exceptions are not checked extensively whereas in java exceptions are checked.
In most of companies, MNCs still work java based using spring boot and other Java libraries and frameworks.
In my personal opinion if you are new to this Android development field with no prior knowledge of Java you can go ahead with Kotlin. Else you can opt for Java if you have certain prior knowledge or experience in it.
|Good Luck!!
