It is important to know that Android Studio is not built for Kotlin development; it is specialized on building Android applications. Therefore, there will be no option to create a “New Kotlin Project” in Android Studio; instead, you are going to create an Android project that contains a Kotlin class.
- Launch Android Studio.
2. To create a new Android project, click “Create New Project”. Next dialog will appear.
3. In the “Select a Project Template” dialog, leave to default selection i.e. “Empty Activity” then click “Next”.
4. Fill up the application settings with below configurations;
- Name: HelloKotlin
- Package Name: com.example.hellokotlin (auto-generated)
- Save location: select your directory or leave to default settings
- Language: Kotlin
- Minimum SDK: leave to default selection
Then click “Finish” to proceed.
5. The new project is now being created, wait until it is completed. Once done, you will see something similar to below.
Congratulations! You have successfully created your first Kotlin project in Android Studio.
