Next, open echo/android/ in Android Studio. To get started, first generate a plugin as shown in the Getting Started section of the Plugin guide.

Please have a look on your both gradle(project and app level) files.Building Capacitor plugins for Android involves writing Java or Kotlin to interface with Android SDKs.

Now you have set up Kotlin in your project. Necessary Kolin files like compilers etc. Select most recent Kotlin version and click OK.Īfter adding all those things you will be asked to sync your project as changes were made in both project and app level gradle files(adle). Soon after that you will be prompted to select module and Kotlin compiler and runtime version. So, to configure, click Tools from menubar, select Kotlin and from options appeared in right side select Configure Kotlin in Project.Ī configurator chosser will appear. Kotlin is now installed in your Android Studio. When completed restart your Android Studio to effect the changes. When you find Kotlin(language), install it.In ‘Browse JetBrains Plugins’ window type ‘ Kotlin‘ in the search box.In plugin tab click Install JetBrains plugin.Click on Plugins from the panel that appears in left.In Android Studio Go to File in menubar.

So, if you are using older version(we are using 2.2.2 here) and you want Kotlin to work within it you need to install Kotlin Plugin. The Kotlin plugin is bundled with Android Studio from version 3.0 and later. Kotlin is also being targeted to work with as native language in iOS development and it can also be compiled to Javascript source code for web developing. Code snippets are smaller while writing code in Kotlin than that of Java. The difference is that kotlin comes with some exciting features that is not currently supported by Java. That means you can write code for android in traditional way you write, and no need to worry about if you don’t know Kotlin.

In this article we will discuss how to integrate Kotlin in Android Studio that we already have (as it comes default with Android Studio 3.0) and then test a small piece of code to check everything working as expected.Īs the language is being termed as interoperable with Java, it’s an additional support for android development beside Java and C++. It’s quite similar like writing code in Swift for iOS development instead of using objective C. Kotlin’s interoperability with Java makes a good choice for developers. It is totally interoperable with Java and now comes with Android Studio 3.0. This new programming language is primarily sponsored by Jetbrains (who developed IntelliJ) and now announced as the first-class language for developing android apps by the internet giant Google. Kotlin is a typed programming language for JVM.
