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. https://code.tutsplus.com/en/articles/java-vs-kotlin-should-you-be-using-kotlin-for-android-development--cms-27846

Kotlin or Java which should I learn in 2018 I think below link (Please see link below at ⏩"Kotlin Resources: " section) will help you to get idea. 🔷 Kotlin is started in 2012. Why you should totally switch to Kotlin ⏫⏫ ⏬⏬ above titled article link is available in the below link: ⏬⏬ https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/1050538/?ref=app Kotlin is modified version of Java, developed by same organization. 🔽🔽🔽As a new learner of Kotlin, no knowledge in Java is required.🔼🔼🔼 Kotlin's coding process is precise and simple as Python and Kotlin language not depends on Java. ⏺Kotlin has also a strong community base, for more: ⏸ https://kotlinlang.org/ ⏩Kotlin Resources: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/823843/?ref=app

Java is very first language to create Android apps. Get stuck with it then we may Learn Kotlin. After knowing all the sequences.

As far as I know, Kotlin works side-by-side with Java. I'd recommend learning Java first in order to have the fundamentals, then move on to Kotlin.

i would say if really want to learn just mobile dev then go with kotlin and even then u will have to learn some java. but if u are not sure wither u want pressed mobile dev or go another route then i would say learn java because it's widely used and have a very good community

As a programmer I would like you to learn both,with the ongoing wrangles at silicon valley between oracle and google,there is a likelihood that google may incline more towards Kotlin but then java will always be there. on terms of complexity of the two languages,they are almost the same,if you know java,kotlin will be a walk in the park.
