Everyone,
for those not following the Android repository updates: thanks to
the great help & efforts of Franco Sabadini
(https://github.com/francos, not sure if he's also subscribed here),
the Android App is now heading towards a full migration from Java to
Kotlin.
This is currently done in the dedicated "migrate-kotlin" branch, but
"master" is now frozen until this is finished & merged, as Java
changes cannot be merged into Kotlin automatically. So, for any new
submissions, please base your code on the "migrate-kotlin" branch
until further notice.
To test the current Kotlin state, please install the latest build
from the "migrate-kotlin" branch:
For those not familiar with Kotlin: it's basically a clean Java
concept reimplementation, very similar but more readable &
versatile. It's compiled into Java VM byte code using the same ABIs,
so coexists & cooperates with Java classes in the same
application. That's also the current state of the implementation,
Franco has reworked the core classes, the UI classes are still Java.
Please leave feedback on any issues you might find here:
Regards,
Michael
