Kotlin multi-platform(KMPP) is Kotlin's experimental feature and provides the ability to share non-UI business logic between different platforms like Android, iOS, Js, Embedded device and many more. This slide covers how to set-up the KMPP project, how does this code sharing works between different platforms and pro-cons of using it.
Kotlin multi platform
- 1. Lunch and Learn Kotlin Multi-platform on
- 2. Topics Presentation on Kotlin multi-platform Code overview Build framework and run a PoC app Q&A
- 3. Vikram Hooda Mobile application developer
- 4. Kotlin Multi-platform Designed by JetBrains. Shares non-ui logic on di鍖erent platforms and uses Kotlin language. Open source, natively-integrated and optional sharing. Code sharing, not cross-platform. Current Status: Experimental state
- 6. Common JSJVM Native Java Android Browser Node iOS Linux Window Embedded .jar .framework.js
- 8. Create a new Android and iOS project, if you do not have one.
- 9. Create a new module(Shared) under Android project to serve common functionality to target platforms. Shared module
- 10. Now, create target speci鍖c directory under Shared module. Shared module directory structure
- 11. Set dependencies and target in Shared modules build.gradle 鍖le.
- 16. Common Module (Shared business logic) Native Platforms Module (Android, iOS) expect actual expect/actual Keywords
- 17. expect declares in common module. expect val plateformName: String //In common code actual de鍖nes in target module. actual val plateformName: String = Android //In Android code actual val plateformName: String = iOS //In iOS code Example of expect/actual keyword
- 18. Pro & Cons
- 19. Pros Code sharing Single source of truth for business logic to native platform Less refactoring/rewriting e鍖orts Time and cost saving
- 20. Cons Lack of libraries support . Concurrency complications on iOS. Painful debugging and runtime exception tracing on yet supported on iOS . Must to have all targeted platforms basic knowledge i.e. Kotlin, Swift, Android and iOS apis.
