Kotlin SDK doesn’t have hot reload unlike flutter Hot reload refers to reloading the app with the changes that occur in the code.Without going into detail, the debugging tool in Flutter is much better.In Kotlin (both with XML and compose), debugging is harder than it is in flutter mainly because of 2 reasons: DebuggingĪs a developer, bugs always happen. Other than that, the one function we need to memorize to create widgets are the build, or the initState function if we need some processing before our view is created. This allows us to switch between logic and view seamlessly. Most of the data binding concepts don’t exist in flutter, mainly because both the view and logic in flutter are written using dart. onOptionItemSelected, fragment has onCreate, onCreateView, onViewCreated separately which is also different from how the activity works, etc.)
Also, you need to memorize a lot of functions when you develop your app (e.g. Most of the concepts relates to binding data from the view (XML) to the code. To develop a “clean” application using Kotlin with XML, we need to understand a lot of concepts such as: view binding, data binding, view model, view holder, adapter, etc. In this context, SDK refers to the kit we used to write app in kotlin/flutter. SDK Complexityįor those who don’t know, SDK means software development kit. Kotlin with XML always requires you to write more code than flutter. In my experience, this is true no matter which stage of the app you’re developing. In flutter, you just need around 7 lines of code to do that. In Kotlin with XML, it requires at least 2 files (XML and the Kotlin activity) and a lot of boilerplate codes.
