Google today introduced Android KTX, a set of extensions to help developers write Kotlin code for Android that is “more concise, idiomatic, and pleasant.” The company promises to iterate on the API “over the next few months” based on developer contributions and feedback.
At its I/O 2017 developer conference in May, Google announced Android officially supports the Kotlin programming language, in addition to Java and C++. Android Studio 3.0 with Kotlin support followed in May.
Currently in preview, Android KTX provides an API layer on top of the Android framework and Support Library — the former is available now on GitHub. Google promises to make the other parts of Android KTX that cover the Android Support Library available in upcoming Support Library releases.
