An Android app could contain one or many activities. An activity has its own lifecycle and we can launch a new activity by using intents. In order to send data from an activity to another we could use a Bundle.
Kotlin Coroutines
Coroutines are officially part of the Kotlin standard library starting with version 1.3 and they are very helpful in creating concurrent non-blocking code. They simplify async programming. Coroutines are actually lightweight threads.
Collections in Kotlin
It’s time to continue our learning path in Kotlin. The subject covered in this new post is represented by Collections and data operations applied to them.
Collections are actually a set of classes and interfaces that provides high quality implementations of useful data structures and algorithms that help developers to reduce the programming effort and time.

I was happy to participate for the second time at RO MobOS, 2020 edition in Cluj-Napoca. Again, awesome audience, awesome organisers and awesome vibes. I love Cluj! 🙂
Classes in Kotlin
The journey in Kotlin Wonderland continues with an article about classes and objects. Until now we discovered details about Kotlin philosophy, basic types, control flow expressions, null safety and functions.
Kotlin functions are fun
Kotlin promises concise, expressive and safe code. In the previous articles I covered topics like basic types, control flow instructions, equality checks, null safety.
In this article we will have some fun with functions and learn new keywords from the Kotlin Wonderland.
