Let’s take a closer look at the differences - and similarities - between developing for Android and iOS. (Of course, there are a number of other alternatives to building applications for iOS and Android, such as cross-platform tools like Xamarin, React Native or Flutter, but in these articles I’m going to be focusing on mobile application development using these native tools.) In native Android development you will probably find yourself working in Android Studio. In native iOS development you most likely work in Xcode. Though this can be an intimidating prospect at first, you will soon realize that there are many similarities between developing for iOS and developing for Android, and your experience developing for iOS will go far in preparing you for development in Android.
In this article we’ll take a deeper dive into developing in Android compared to iOS.īefore you consider converting your iOS application to Android, you of course will need to convert your own skillset from iOS development to Android development. Public User(String firstName, String lastName) else if (user.In my previous article, we looked at reasons for converting your iOS application to Android, and things you’ll want to consider when porting your application across. We'll create a User model object and a Repository singleton class that works with User objects and exposes lists of users and formatted user names.Ĭreate a new file called User.java under app/java/ and paste in the following code: public class User String String lastName Minimum SDK can be of any value, it will not affect the outcome. If you're using Android Studio, create a new project with the No Activity template. If you're using IntelliJ IDEA, create a new Java project with Kotlin/JVM. Note that the auto-converter in future versions of Android Studio might create slightly different results. Android Studio Bumblebee or IntelliJ IDEA.You should already be familiar with Java. In doing so you will learn the following Kotlin language features and concepts: You will learn how to convert Java to Kotlin. Then we'll take a look at the converted code and see how we can improve it by making it more idiomatic and avoid common pitfalls.
We'll start with a couple of Java classes that you'll convert to Kotlin using the IDE. This codelab is suited to any developer that uses Java who is considering migrating their project to Kotlin.
You'll also learn what the Kotlin language conventions are and how to ensure that the code you're writing follows them. In this codelab, you'll learn how to convert your code from Java to Kotlin.
