Innovation Drives Android App Development | Kotlin

To begin with, Android app developers no longer need to code everything from scratch. The advent of MADPs (Mobile Application Development Platforms) has relieved developers from the tedious task of writing endless lines of code and shifted the focus to ensuring enhanced user experience. An MADP is a powerful platform that offers pre-configured business modules that can be included in the app being created with a simple drag and drop approach.

These reusable modules are pretested and completely bug free. They also incorporate industry best practices. Moreover, a good MADP would provide built-in connectors to legacy systems as well as easy integration with technology components. In this way, Android application development has progressed from being just about writing code to creating a highly customized mobility solution by looking at it more holistically with a focus on user experience.

Android app developers can then add in more features or customization, using Kotlin or Java or both. Before looking at how Kotlin compares with Java, it’s important to note the 100% interoperability between the two languages. It’s possible to easily use Java frameworks and libraries when writing code in Kotlin and Java developers can easily use any Kotlin framework. This also reduces the cost of Android application development as one can pick a Java project in the middle and start coding it further in Kotlin. This has eased the adoption of Kotlin.
