java is the best for developing android apps and kotlin is the easier for android app development so if you want to learn the easier learn kotlin. if you want to learn the best learn java i advise you to learn the best.

Coming from the C++ world, I hate the restrictions Java force on my coding. Kotlin lets me do my thing. I disagree with estifanos tekiea that Java is the best. But, it currently has the best resources to help you. I'm constantly dealing with Java examples to make my Kotlin work.

Since you've got a foundation in Java, switching to Kotlin is a smart move for enhancing your Android development skills. Kotlin is Google's officially preferred language for Android, meaning it comes with better tooling, focuses on modern development practices, and aligns with where the industry's heading. You'll find it more concise and safer than Java, with features designed to prevent common errors. I learnt Java before Kotlin, and to be frank I disliked Java's syntax. Kotlin is much better, and cleaner. Now Kotlin is my favorite programming language 💜
