I've been developing for Android now for the last 18 months exclusively with Kotlin. It is much more productive and safer than Java and is fully supported by Android. When working on older projects I find it is usually better to convert whatever classes I'm working to Kotlin. In particular the explicit and concise handling of nullable types is a major quality improvement.

I'm experiencing similar things on the server side. As I wrote in the article: null-safety alone should justify looking into Kotlin for every Java developer out there. It is a game-changer.
