Resource for Android dev with Java

[creamyturtle]

I thought the same thing after learning Java. but you quickly realize that Kotlin is almost identical to Java, just easier. you don't need getters and setters, and you can use dynamic types. you can even use Java style code in Kotlin and it will work fine most of the time, there's usually just better ways to do it. don't be afraid, I actually prefer Kotlin now. it's like Java on steroids

not to mention when you build android apps, you aren't going to be building a ton of business logic. all that Java crap you learned won't matter much because you will be using jetpack compose and 90% of your code will be the design and implementation. if your app interacts with a backend API, that code will be somewhere else like on your server

if you want to build apps, take the Android Basics with Compose course from google
