Beginners in Android Development Should Start With Java The first and foremost thing is that Android development is not everything; as a programmer, you may be starting your career with Android development, but if you start with a well-established language like Java, you become a part of the bigger Java community and market, which directly means more job opportunities. The second and more important thing is that there is a huge community of Java programmers, which means you can find answers when you are stuck. This is very important because, as a beginner, you will face a lot of technical problems and you might not know where to head when you are stuck. When you search Google with a Java problem, you are bound to get answers; the same cannot be said for Kotlin, which is still a new programming language.

i think Java more than better, because you can make it crossplatform app for the future

Ghostcode Kotlin Would be more useful to you because from 2017 google has announced Kotlin as official language for Android development. and it is also easy to understand. as compared to Java. 1). You can build application with it and it is official language of android so applications made from Kotlin will be more fast and takes less space as compared to Java. 2). Kotlin codes can be written in few lines whereas Java codes takes too much space.
