I wanted to learn how to make an android app and it seems to be pushing to use Kotlin (official tutorial). I thought I was going to use Java (that I know). So I'm a little lost.
Is it really better with Kotlin than Java? Is it a good investment to learn Kotlin?

I just want to be able to make android app for myself and maybe it could drive me somewhere at some point professionnally. I have a web dev formation.

What about the Dart with Flutter?

In my experience it's pretty bad. Buggy, poor support (as in responding to bug reports), hard to test, very verbose components library. Not a great experience over all. I would try react native for my next project but looks like Tauri will be getting Android support soon so I will try this first.
