I was recently trying to learn Kotlin and had decided to make an Android App using Kotlin as I feel doing a project is the best way to learn a language.
Having used Volley, OkHttp I felt is a gift of Gods with good documentation, high reliability and having light wieght. Almost every App I have built for the last few years has used OkHttp. OkHttp has been widely used, tested and relied upon. When it comes to making requests very few libraries are as good as OkHttp. A beginners start to Android App development quickly leads to creating an App that makes requests and connects to the world. Queuing requests, making them asynchronously, parsing the response and doing all this without breaking the app in any way or causing any crashes takes a while. I was naturally intrigued with what Kotlin had to offer and most importantly how could I use the power that Kotlin provided.Īny Android developer who has used any kind of HTTP requests knows the efforts it takes to make sure that the entire process runs smoothly without any Exceptions or Crashes. I’m still learning, but have enjoyed the experience so far. I wouldn’t say I knew in depth of Kotlin before the announcement, and wouldn’t say I know a great deal about it even now. So when Google announced Kotlin as an official language for Android Development and the assurance of first class support for the language, it was an interesting thing. I started with Android in the beginning of my career, hence it’s always held a close place in my heart. Android development has been a great ride so far. I am an Android Developer and have been developing apps for around 4 years now. Android Http Requests in Kotlin with OkHttp
