Kotlin is an Android-compatible language that is concise, expressive, and designed to be type- and null-safe. It works with the Java language seamlessly, so it makes it easy for developers who love the Java language to keep using it but also incrementally add Kotlin code and leverage Kotlin libraries.

Kotlin is fully supported in Android Studio 3.0 and higher. Previously, using Kotlin required that you add the Kotlin plugin, but all new releases of Android Studio ship with these tools built in. So you can create new projects with Kotlin files, convert Java language code to Kotlin, debug Kotlin code, and more, without any extra steps.

Debugging Kotlin works just like debugging Java code. You do not need to do anything differently.

JetBrains thoughtful work on Kotlin design is one of the reasons we are embracing the language. Google is partnering with JetBrains to ensure a wonderful overall developer story—from language, to framework, to tools. And, we are excited to be working together to move the Kotlin language into a non profit foundation.
