3. Kotlin’ize
your App

4. Hello!I am Renato Almeida
You can find me at @tallnato (on the places I fit)
Because I am big, like BIG

5. Hello!I am Pedro Vicente
You can find me at @neteinstein (all over the place)
… and I’m the beautiful one of this talk!

6. Yeah, that company from Oporto
that works in self-organization
Mindera

7. This is a tale of our
experience!

8. Our team moved 99% of our
codebase to kotlin

9. 1.
Why kotlin
And not just stick with Java?

11. × Java’s null-unsafety !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
× Android doesn’t have the new bells and whistles of
Java (8+)
× Java’s base is procedural, not functional
Why NOT JAVA

12. × Kotlin is 100% interoperable with Java
× Yes, really.
× Kotlin isn’t as verbose
× Everybody knows… the less code, the less bugs
× Kotlin is fun (pun intended)
× And we have var and val, let, apply….
Why kotlin

13. × Extensions!
× Very fast learning curve
× You can do magic with it, no, for real!
Why kotlin

14. × Kotlin Standard Library adds 800Kb to the .apk
× Kotlin is from Russia. You need Vodka.
× Ok... it’s just the first one.
Drawbacks

31. RememberYou can use automatic conversion… but if you
aren’t using the fun stuff on Kotlin…
what’s the .?

41. val list = listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

//Returns true if all match the given predicate
list.all { it < 10 } //TRUE

list.count { it % 2 == 0 } // 3

42. val list = listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

//and applies an operation from the first to the last
element in a collection.
list.fold(4) { total, next -> total + next } //25
//Same as fold, but goes from the last element to first
list.foldRight(4) { total, next -> total + next } //25
//Same as fold without initial value

43. val list = listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

//Returns an element at the given index or throws an //IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out
//of bounds of this collection.

48. val list = listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
//Iterates over the elements creating a new collection for each one,

//Returns a list of pairs built from the elements of both collections with the same indexes. The list has the
length of the shortest collection.

OPERATORS COLLECTIONS MAGIC

54. ENOUGH SLIDES, code, Bs
LET’S CODE!
WE HAVE AN APP IN JAVA.
LET’S KOTLIN'IZE IT!

55. Hands on
Let’s rock and roll!

56. YES...
You can use the
“magic” option...

57. BUT...
That will only
generate ”Javified”
Kotlin code…

58. SO...
Do it, and then it’s
time to have real fun!

60. Do not forget
Each method you need to
implement/optimize is
almost every time a single
instruction.
Check the slides (41 to 52)..

62. THANKS!Any questions?
You can find us at @tallnato & @neteinstein

63. OTHER Things we missed
Higher-Order Functions and Lambdas
Inline functions
String templates
Properties
Class delegation
Java to Kotlin calls
Lambdas out of the box
val vs var
Apply
Sealed classes
Lazy & late init
