Modern Android Development
summary
Claims that Android is Kotlin-first and that coroutines preferred for async work in 2020 are backed by adoption numbers: about 60% developers using Kotlin and 70% of top apps use Kotlin. The concrete tooling is Android Studio + Gradle, Jetpack libs (ConstraintLayout, Navigation, WorkManager, CameraX, MotionLayout, Compose alpha), KTX and Paging 3 rewrites. App Bundles deliver roughly a 20% size savings and CameraX/WorkManager encapsulate ecosystem workarounds so features actually work across devices.
