Tasker and AutoApps coding

This is a post for more technical questions about how I code in Tasker and my other apps :)

If you're interested in technical details, please let me know!

To start, I can say that I started using Kotlin in my apps as soon as it became available and never looked back since! Every single new class I create is now created in Kotlin and I dread every time I have to go back to the Java files in my projects :P

Let me know if you have more questions, but please don't expect me to put up any "secret" source code that would give "too much" away ;).

Great! :) Then that website is just what you need!

I am familiar about programming and want to do something different. Thanks for the advice!

The best way for me is by going here: <a href="https://try.kotlinlang.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://try.kotlinlang.org/</a> and go through all the steps. I guess you should have a little knowledge of programming already though :)

João Dias

What is the best way to learn Kotlin, any books you recommend?

Ezki

Yeah, I sometimes do that manually. But only on simple to medium classes. If it's too big I'll apply the famous "if it works don't touch it" principle :D

João Dias

I meant manually converting. :) So do you just touch classes to rewrite them in Kotlin without adding new features / fixing things?

Tasker had absolutely no Kotlin in it :) I usually don't convert classes, unless they are very very simple. The automatic converter introduces too many errors for me to totally rely on it :P

João Dias

Thx for the post. :) Was there already some Kotlin code in the Tasker codebase at the point you overtook it? Do you convert classes as you touch them or do you sometimes take time just to convert some parts of an application?
