Kotlin Vs. Java Which Is Better For Develop Android App?
There is no doubt that Java has its place to compete, but with time we all need some advancement, and hence we always look for a better option in case if we can find it. So the question is which language one should pick; Kotlin or Java? Then the answer is here, but again the views are depended and changes person to person. Keep in mind that each language has its pros and cons, and at last, you have to decide that with all of these, which one you can handle well.
If I have to say in simple words then if you have a working knowledge of Java, then you can start with Kotlin to develop android apps. But if you are completely novice in the Android App Development pick the Java as it is the bedrock of Android development.
Java
Sun Microsystems developed the Java which is an object-oriented programming language. And at present, it is owned by Oracle. It was introduced in 1991 and being such an old language; it has much more to offer for you. Even Java can offer you more job opportunity as all the time one do not want to develop android apps. As I said, it can let you open your wings and let you fly to another field. But we are here for android app development so let’s talk on it only.
Kotlin
Kotlin introduced in 2016, and at that time all the developers need a modern language for Android development that can add to the qualities of Java and aid in mobile development. JetBrains created Kotlin which is an open-source language based on JVM. Due to its statically java based language, it can be compiled and interpreted with Java. It helps the developers to update the old Java apps easily, and one can easily carry their work from Java to Kotlin.
