Scala puts too much pressure on the GC to be a good candidate for Android development and the complexity of its syntax makes developing good tool support very difficult. Since I only write Java for Android Kotlin is already way ahead of Scala on my list for both reasons.

Scala has very simple syntax. Most of the "complexity" is names of classes and methods in libraries.
