Should we learn Java for making Android Apps or Kotlin?

Answer 1

After google announcement, you should go with Kotlin for android development. It will replace Java in upcoming time and if you start on it now you will have added advantage. 
But if you’re a beginner you should start with Java, you need a lot of resources to get started and Java has a lot of tutorials out there, if you’re already a programmer and want to enter android world, use Kotlin, it’s a nice and fancy language, it will boost your productivity.

Hello everyone. I believe that each language has its pros and cons, because there is no perfect language. We must analyze what we want to do with our application. Below I leave a link about an article that talks more about the matter. (This in Spanish) can use the Google translator.
