Ty Smith, Uber In this talk, Ty will walk you through setting up and using Kotlin with Gradle to streamline your workflow for Android development, both within the build tool phase and within the application itself, so that you can use a consistent language through the entire Android stack. After a brief overview of Kotlin, we’ll dive into how it can be used with Gradle to accelerate Android Development with a consistent language. I'll walk through a real world example of building a Gradle plugin in and scripts in Groovy, then I'll convert those into Kotlin. An open source repo of the sample will be provided to follow along.
