As everyone else has said, a strong knowledge of both will make you the most efficient. Kotlin on Android is running on the JVM, and as such a solid grasp of Java is highly useful. Kotlin is being pushed by Google and other individuals and groups (including myself :) ) due to some issues with Oracle, as well as the more modern features Kotlin brings to the table. I'd suggest learning Java first, building an app with it (or not), then moving on to trying Kotlin. I haven't done a whole lot of Android development, but Kotlin has very convenient libraries like Anko which make things a lot nicer, in my opinion.

I believe that you have to learn both in order to keep maintening old apps and write new ones also add new features with old ones(during revamping). However I'd recommend moving to kotlin as it has every thing in java and much more.....
