Should i learn kotlin or java for android?
I have some programming background

Would be interested as well... :)

At least try kotlin, I really like it

Java

Learn both

I already know java, should I learn kotlin? I haven't developed anything for android yet

Start with Android + Java. It'll be easier to find and follow guides. When you're ready, everything you learned with Java transfers easily to kotlin

Kotlin is great.

Java is easier to understand in the beginning, because you will find so many tutorials out there using it, even though I would never want to use Java again since I got used to Kotlin. What programming languages do you already know?

Java. Kotlin will be a niche for a while then gone when the hype runs out. Java is everywhere.

@ninjatini I use Kotlin for a long time already.

@filthyranter ah thats cool. I have never been an Android developer so I hadn't really heard much about it until recently. My though just is that if you learn Java, that's everywhere and useful for more than Android. Maybe kotlin is too but I have no idea there.

@ninjatini Kotlin is way less verbose, better for devs that are a bit better than beginners (but not experts at all)
