WHAT IS KOTLIN ?

Statically typed programming language for modern multi

platform applications build for JVM, Android, Browser and
Native
THE REASON WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE IT A TRY
 THE EVOLUTION OF HOLY
findViewById()
TextView tvResult = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_result); Lovely Java
@BindView(R.id.tv_result) Georgeous ButterKnife
TextView tvResult;

MainActivityBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);

MainViewModel viewModel = new MainViewModel();
binding.setViewModel(viewModel);

<TextView
The Great DataBinding
android:id="@+id/tv_result"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@{viewModel.name}" />

val tvResult = findViewById(R.id.tv_result) as? TextView The Pure Kotlin

val tvResult = find<TextView>(R.id.tv_result) The Cool Anko

 All Hail Android Extensions!

tvResult.text = "Result"
No need findViewById or ViewInjection Anymore !

 THE LISTENER JOURNEY

btnMain.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(final View view) { Lovely Java (AGAIN)
// TODO coba godain janda sebelah rumah
}
});

@OnClick(R.id.btn_main) Georgeous ButterKnife (AGAIN)

public void onBtnMainClick() {
// TODO jaga mata kalau lagi di mall
}
 LAMBDA EXPRESSION

btnMain.setOnClickListener {
TODO("Sederhana lebih seru gan")
}

 THE MAGIC OF with()

with(movie) {
val text = "$name on $year"
tvTitle.text = text
}
 THE FABULOUS when() and for..range

Makes loop for..range GREAT AGAIN!

when (type) { for (index in mantans.indices) {
1 -> return "Perawan" if (mantan in 1..100) {
2 -> return "Janda" println("Mantan ke $index")
else -> return "Gak Jelas!" }
} }

Sorry, we have better than the old lady b**ch switch..case

 PAINLESS FOR DOING BACKGROUND
doAsync {
val result = URL(apiUrl).readText()
Simplifying the AsyncTask
uiThread {
tvResult.text = result
}
}

async(UI) {
val users: Deferred<List<User>> = bg { getUsers() }
showUsers(users.await())
}

Coroutine in Action!
