Android language
Kotlin
Kotlin is what we reach for when an Android app needs to be fully native — concise, safe, and the platform’s first-class language.
What it is
Kotlin is a modern, statically-typed language and Google’s preferred language for Android. Its null safety and concise syntax make native Android code safer and faster to write.
Why we use it
When an Android product needs the best performance and deepest platform integration, native Kotlin is the right tool. Its type and null safety prevent a whole class of crashes.
