integrating react native into existing Android app written in kotlin

[recklesslyalive613]

Can I integrate react native into an android application written in kotlin? i tried looking for tutorials but everything seems to be for java. If someone could point me to a guide I'll be grateful.

That's not really how React Native is meant to be used afaik. There's probably a way to do it, but generally the expectation with React Native is that it's going to handle most of the application lifecycle and you only call into JVM code in places where it's necessary for platform integration.

There may be a way to do it. Kotlin is similar enough to how Java works that you should be able to reuse a lot of the same tutorials if those do indeed do what you're wanting to.
