More than a decade ago, enterprise applications could only be imagined as a cumbersome system with no notion of mobility. Even the presence of mobile phones didn't help, as the operating systems of these devices weren't capable of running the enterprise application. This changed with the launch of Android in 2008. It came as a ray of hope for businesses as well as Android app developers, as it provided more flexibility and enabled the efficient use of resources.
It didn’t take long for Android to spread and it did so like wildfire. In less than a decade, Android grabbed attained a global market share of 76.53%, according to figures released by StatCounter.
Gradually, the adoption of enterprise application became a norm across various industries. Alongside, smartphone usage surged and changed the way people got things done. These two strong trends lead to mobility solutions in the form of enterprise mobile apps.
Choice of Programming Language
If one goes by the current industry standards, there is Java, a programming language that has dominated web and Android application development for years.
Challenging Java’s reign, came Kotlin in 2017. Developed by JetBrains, Kotlin was envisioned to make programming simple and fun again. Kotlin was created with the aim of simplifying Java’s complex programming structure to expedite and ease the Android app development process.
Learning Experience
Owing to its long history of upgrades, Java’s programming complexities have continuously increased. Kotlin is much more programmer friendly, reducing the training period to a month.
Programming Experience
Java provides a rich programming experience with complex classes and flexible functionality. It comprises various predefined functions, objects, and classes, which when used appropriately can provide vast application development capabilities.
With Java, Android application development is limited only by the app developer’s imagination! However, remembering Java’s syntax and structures is a huge feat.
In Kotlin, complex functions and syntax are encapsulated under the guise of intuitive keywords. This eliminates the need to memorize code, while also decreasing code length and decreasing deployment time.
Runtime Environment
Though Java is the industry-accepted programming language, even for Android application development, it fails to fully leverage the capabilities of Android Studio, which is Google’s official IDE (integrated development environment). An app written in Java requires other software to gain the necessary compatibility to be deployed. This increases the cost of Android application development.
On the other hand, Kotlin has been designed specifically for Android app development services and is compatible with Android Studio. It’s also compatible with the Java Environment, which means Java code can operate on the Kotlin environment and Kotlin code can be executed on the Java environment. This reduces the cost of training Android app developers. Moreover, user queries regarding the customization of the application can be answered within minutes.
File Size
When it comes to downloading a mobile app from the Google Play Store, the size of the APK file plays an important role in deciding the app’s popularity. People tend to avoid apps that consume too much space on their devices. The size also impacts the load time and how smoothly the app helps the user accomplish the intended task.
This is a slight drawback of Kotlin. Android application development using Kotlin renders the files slightly larger than when developed in Java.
The complexity of source code written in Java makes the job of updating the application tedious. Even after updating the application, there is a small chance of some bugs being left untested. This, however, is not the case in Kotlin. With its compact syntax and easily identifiable functions, Kotlin is perfect for Android application development. The chances of error are much less due to Kotlin’s smaller LOC (Line of Code) to test.
From an Android app developer’s point of view, Kotlin may be a better language. But one also needs to consider the user. From the consumer’s perspective, it’s essential to choose the right mode of mobile application development. Choosing the right language alone cannot provide one with the necessary competitive edge in the market.
