Guys, kotlin or java to learn first to programme on Android?

Question

...

Answer 1

Now we are writing the new code in kotlin, but we still have a lot of code in java. When writing new features we no longer use java, but it's useful to know it in order to understand the existing code. So, why don't you opt for learning both? :)

Answer 2

Overall, I would take the time to learn both of them, as they're both relevant and will continue to be relevant for long while. However, for your first one, I'd recommend checking out Java and learning it. That'll give you a good understanding of everything and put you in a position to truly appreciate the neat features that Kotlin has to offer. lol Java is still used on a massive scale all over the world, so a perk to knowing Java is that you can easily read/edit/create the code that you may be working with for that job. With that being said, Kotlin is interoperable with Java, so if you know Kotlin, you can embed its code inside of Java and it'll still run. As well, Kotlin runs on everything that Java does because it utilizes the JVM (Java Virtual Machine).

TLDR; - Learn Java and then read up on Kotlin. Both are useful toward the same things.
