What is Kotlin?
Statically typed programming language for the JVM, Android and the browser.
(http://kotlinlang.org/)
Why Kotlin?
● Concise: drastically reduce the amount of boilerplate code you need to write.
● Safe: avoid entire classes of errors such as null pointer exceptions.
● Interoperable: leverage existing frameworks and libraries of the JVM with 100% Java
Interoperability.

2. Choose “Plugins” and “Install
JetBrains plugin…”

3. Install “Kotlin” and “Kotlin
Extensions For Android”

4. Restart Android Studio, and
open (or create) a project

5. Create a new “Kotlin class”

6. Choose from menu “Tools” >
“Kotlin” > “Configure Kotlin in
Project”

6. Choose from menu “Tools” >

Preference Utils (Step 1)
Write a small utility for Android!

Preference Utils (Step 1) - PreferenceUtils.kt
class AppPreferences(private val context: Context) {
val preferences: SharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context)
}

}
object PreferenceDelegates {
public fun string(defaultValue: String? = null): ReadWriteProperty<AppPreferences, String?> {
return PrefString(defaultValue)
}
}

}
object PreferenceDelegates {
public fun string(defaultValue: String? = null): ReadWriteProperty<AppPreferences, String?> {
return PrefString(defaultValue)
}
}
private class PrefString(private val defaultValue: String?) : ReadWriteProperty<AppPreferences, String?> {
override fun get(thisRef: AppPreferences, property: PropertyMetadata): String? {
return thisRef.preferences.getString(property.name, defaultValue)
}
override fun set(thisRef: AppPreferences, property: PropertyMetadata, value: String?) {
thisRef.preferences.edit().putString(property.name, value).apply()
}
}

var userName by PreferenceDelegates.string()
var userFavoriteAnimal by PreferenceDelegates.string()
}
// ...

Preference Utils (Step 1) - MyActivity.java
public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private AppPreferences pref;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
pref = new AppPreferences(this);
}
}

@Override
String userName = pref.getUserName();
}
}

@Override
String userName = pref.getUserName();
String userFavoriteAnimal = pref.getUserFavoriteAnimal();
if (userFavoriteAnimal == null) {
pref.setUserFavoriteAnimal("fox");
}
}
}

Write a small utility for your Android app!

Preference Utils (Step 2) - App.kt
class App : Application() {
val pref by lazy { AppPreferences(this) }
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
// other initialization here
}
}

Preference Utils (Step 2) - AndroidManifest.xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<application
android:name=".application.App"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<activity android:name=".MyActivity" />
</application>
</manifest>

Preference Utils (Step 2) - BaseActivity.kt
open class BaseActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
val app by lazy { application as App }
val pref by lazy { app.pref }
}

public class MyActivity extends BaseActivity {
@Override
String userName = getPref().getUserName();
String userFavoriteAnimal = getPref().getUserFavoriteAnimal();
getPref().setUserFavoriteAnimal("fox");
}
}
}

Boost your Android app!

Preference Utils (Step 3) - MyActivity.kt
public class MyActivity : BaseActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
val userName = pref.userName
val userFavoriteAnimal = pref.userFavoriteAnimal
pref.userFavoriteAnimal = "fox"
}
}
}

MyActivity.kt vs MyActivity.java
public class MyActivity : BaseActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
val userName = pref.userName
val userFavoriteAnimal = pref.userFavoriteAnimal
pref.userFavoriteAnimal = "fox"
}
}
}
public class MyActivity extends BaseActivity {
@Override
String userName = getPref().getUserName();
String userFavoriteAnimal =
getPref().getUserFavoril();
getPref().setUserFavoriteAnimal("fox");
}
}
}

Play with
animations!
Material Design: Animation
Meaningful transitions
Hierarchical timing

Play with animations! - AnimationUtils.java
fun View.animateAppear() {
alpha = 0f
scaleX = 0f
scaleY = 0f
val animator = ViewCompat.animate(this).alpha(1f).scaleX(1f).scaleY(1f)
animator.start()
}

alpha = 0f
scaleX = 0f
scaleY = 0f
animator.start()
}
fun calcDistance(x1: Int, y1: Int, x2: Int, y2: Int) = Math.sqrt(((x1-x2)*(x1-x2) + (y1-y2)*(y1-y2)).toDouble())

alpha = 0f
scaleX = 0f
scaleY = 0f
animator.start()
}
fun calcDistance(x1: Int, y1: Int, x2: Int, y2: Int) = Math.sqrt(((x1-x2)*(x1-x2) + (y1-y2)*(y1-y2)).toDouble())
fun List<View>.animateRelativeHierarchicalTiming(centerX: Int = 0, centerY: Int = 0) {
forEach {
val x = it.left
val y = it.top
val distance = calcDistance(centerX, centerY, x, y)
it.postDelayed({ it.animateAppear() }, distance.toLong())
}
}
