A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hey everyone, I've been working with Kotlin in back end services for a while now and absolutely love it. I've been interesting in the android side of things and was wondering.

What are the best resources (Books, courses) which focus more on learning android and less teaching Kotlin basics.

There's a book by Ian Lake and Reto Meier that's pretty good as well as some Udacity courses by Dan Galpin and other Android developer relations folks

They tend to get updated pretty frequently

More hot off the presses is some of the stuff on <http://d.android.com|d.android.com> especially around arch components

Mostly the newer stuff focuses on drastically simplifying the parts of Android that have traditionally been tedious, but a lot of that material about the underpinnings is still of interest since it's how things work under the hood

Commonsware’s  `The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development` <https://commonsware.com/Android/> is always good, and the ebook is constantly updated
