In the first part of this three-part series, we looked at what Kotlin is and what it has to offer Android developers: There are a variety of modern programming languages that are designed to run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and one of these languages that's becoming popular in the Java community is Kotlin. This is part of the discontinued Gradle Software Model.Įnabling the incubating configuration on demand feature is not recommended as it can lead to very hard-to-diagnose problems.While the vast majority of Android apps are written in Java, there's no rule that you have to use Java for Android development. The Kotlin reference documentation and Kotlin Koans should be useful to you. Knowledge of Kotlin syntax and basic language features is very helpful. The embedded Kotlin compiler is known to work on Linux, macOS, Windows, Cygwin, FreeBSD and Solaris on x86-64 architectures. You must run Gradle with Java 8 or higher.
The same applies to the scenario in which something in the buildSrc directory changes, which invalidates build-script caching.īuilds with slow configuration time might affect the IDE responsiveness, please check out the documentation on Gradle performance. First use, on clean checkouts or ephemeral CI agents for example, are known to be slower. There are some situations where the Kotlin DSL is slower. In IntelliJ IDEA, you must import your project from the Gradle model to get content-assist and refactoring tools for Kotlin DSL scripts. Other IDEs, such as Eclipse or NetBeans, do not yet provide helpful tools for editing Gradle Kotlin DSL files, however, importing and working with Kotlin DSL-based builds work as usual. Kotlin DSL is fully supported in Intellij IDEA and Android Studio. Using the latest versions of Gradle, applied plugins, and your IDE should be your first move.
