Kotlin vs. Java

Some of my Friends says that KOTLIN is best for Android App Development but many of them says JAVA is Best Kotlin is new for Android developing but java is more powerful because it is older to Develope Java is more Popular in Many Companies because their old Employees know only the java but Companies like Google is going through the Kotlin Kotlin is More Better than Java But java has a huge Developers Community to make it more better to Develope Apps Kotlin is New So it must have more features and Easy to learn but java is more familiar with Android so it's more relevant Please Do me a Favour

It's not really Java vs Kotlin, more like with Kotlin. Whilst Kotlin is much easier to write with and can be used anywhere that Java can, you can also still use Java along side it when you find something that can't be done in Kotlin. Then there's online support on forums, whilst there's much more help out there for Java, if you know both languages you can easily translate the Java solutions to Kotlin.

Dude , kotlin is based on java , so its an easier syntax language version of java. To learn it better i recommend to learn Java first. also google declared kotlin as official android backend development coding language last year . summary : learn basic java then move on to kotlin for easy flow.

Java is better as you are not forced to migrate to Kotlin. Java will be still there with Android. Kotlin is only a native language in Android Programming that should be used to do some works that is hard to implement in Java. I suggest you to use Java codes more than Kotlin in your next Android Project but use Kotlin whenever you feel the need of it.

Kotlin is not better than Java in general, but Kotlin is recommended for creating applications for Android

language is just a tool for the development of an android apps Java and Kotlin both are the best but I would suggest you go with kotlin because kotlin demands will be increase in the market . On the other hand we are new programmer so we should choose new technologies not an older ones and also there is a tauff competition in the IT So chose what is best and new ..! Good luck 👍

Sure, I'd be happy to help! Kotlin and Java are famous programming languages for Android app development, and the choice among the 2 regularly relies on private desire, venture requirements, and the development crew's records. While Java has been around for several years and has a full-size developer network, Kotlin is gaining popularity due to its concise syntax, null safety, and awesome present-day abilities. Suppose you are seeking to rent Kotlin builders. In that case, locating developers interested in running with the language and leveraging its specific functions to assemble extraordinary and efficient Android apps is vital. At the same time, it's also vital to ensure the developers have robust expertise in Java because it's widely used within the industry. Ultimately, the choice among Kotlin and Java relies upon your mission's wishes and dreams, and each language affords particular benefits and stressful situations. https://www.biztechcs.com/hire-kotlin-developer/
