Brief insight into kotlin with android studio usage

Install Kotlin in android studio:

Android Studio 3.0 version will be released with Kotlin internally i.e user do not need to install extra plugin for support. But before 3.0 user need to install kotlin plugin  from ''file/settings/plugins/browserepositories/".

Now type "Kotlin" and install plugin and after installation studio will ask to restart IDE.So after restarting android studio will open including kotlin support.

Android Development using kotlin:

Step 1: create a new Android studio project with a blank activity

Step 2: Open main Activity and delete everything in the file except oncreate

Step 3: Rename java dir to kotlin

Step 4: convert java activity file to kotlin

            Select 'convert java file to kotlin file" from code menu item in menu window.

Step 5: change oncreate's argument from bundle to bundle? (i.e. nullable) in the generated file
