Overview of this book

Kotlin is a programming language intended to be a better Java, and it's designed to be usable and readable across large teams with different levels of knowledge. As a language, it helps developers build amazing Android applications in an easy and effective way. This book begins by giving you a strong grasp of Kotlin's features in the context of Android development and its APIs. Moving on, you'll take steps towards building stunning applications for Android. The book will show you how to set up the environment, and the difficulty level will grow steadily with the applications covered in the upcoming chapters. Later on, the book will introduce you to the Android Studio IDE, which plays an integral role in Android development. We'll use Kotlin's basic programming concepts such as functions, lambdas, properties, object-oriented code, safety aspects, type parameterization, testing, and concurrency, which will guide you through writing Kotlin code in production. We'll also show you how to integrate Kotlin into any existing Android project.

Using lists

We showed you how to work with data. As you noticed, in the main view data container, we used ListView. Why did we choose it? First of all, it's the most commonly used container to hold your data. In most cases, you will use ListView to hold the data from your adapters. Never put a large number of views in a scrollable container like LinearLayout! Whenever possible, use ListView. It will recycle views when they are not needed anymore and reinstantiate them when needed.

Using lists can affect your application performance since it's a well-optimized container for displaying your data. Displaying a list is an essential functionality of almost any application! Any application that produces a set of data as a result of some operation needs a list. It's almost impossible that you will not use it in your application.
