Chapter 1. Getting Started with Android and Kotlin
Welcome to the exciting world of Android and Kotlin! In this first chapter, we won't waste any time before getting started developing Android apps.
We will look at what is so great about Android, what Android and Kotlin are, how they work and complement each other, and what that means to us as future developers. Moving on, we will set up the required software, so that we can build and deploy a simple first app.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Learning how Kotlin and Android work together
- Setting up our development environment, Android Studio
- Learning what makes an android app
- Learning about Kotlin
- Building our very first Android app
- Deploying an Android emulator
- Running our app on an Android emulator and a real device
This is a lot to get through, so let's get started.
