Not for Android, unfortunately.
There are plugin issues and it doesn't cooperate with Gradle all that great. I admit that I wasn't able to set it up :) okay, I wasn't hellbent on it and didn't try for days, but it was a bummer.
Otherwise I'd be using Scala gladly - after all, you can write Scala for living, while I don't expect Kotlin to appear in job ads anytime soon.
- vorg 12y agoThe sooner Gradle and Android Studio lets us to use Scala or any other language we want for configuration, the better. I don't like being told I have to use Gruvy because I want a nicer DSL than XML when virtual every programming language has nicer syntax than XML.
- lmm 12y agoFair enough. When I last worked on Android it was all eclipse/maven-based, and using Scala was as simple as just doing the obvious thing (I mean, you had to install the relevant plugins, but that was all). Shame if they've lost that in the move to Android Studio.
