A free Google Developers codelab series teaching Android app development with Kotlin, covering the fundamentals of building Android apps in the Kotlin language.

One commenter recommends it as a week-long way for a Java-knowing back-end developer to start building mobile apps with Kotlin, without the frontend mindset of Flutter or React.

    A lot of people here recommend Flutter, React and similar. But these build upon frontend technologies and use a frontend mindset you might find very difficult to get into.

    If you know Java, I would instead recommend going through Googles new Kotlin courses for a week or so and see where that leads you:

    https://codelabs.developers.google.com/advanced-android-kotl...

    https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/kotlin-andro...

    Worst case, you have learned som kotlin which may eventually help you in your day job since kotlin is getting big in backend too.
