Android is the most popular mobile operating system in the world and Kotlin has been declared by Google as a first-class programming language to build Android apps.

The book begins by giving you a strong grasp of how Kotlin and Android work together before gradually moving onto exploring the various Android APIs for building stunning apps for Android with ease. You will learn to make your apps more presentable using different layouts. You will dive deep into Kotlin programming concepts such as variables, functions, data structures, Object-Oriented code, and how to connect your Kotlin code to the UI. You will learn to add multilingual text so that your app is accessible to millions of more potential users. You will learn how animation, graphics, and sound effects work and are implemented in your Android app.


By the end of the book, you will have sound knowledge about significant Kotlin programming concepts and start building your own fully featured Android apps.
