Reactive Kotlin and Android

So, our learning about reactive programming in Kotlin is almost complete. We have arrived at the last, but probably the most important, chapter of this book. Android is probably the biggest platform for Kotlin. During the last Google IO—Google IO 17, Google announced official support for Kotlin and added Kotlin as a first-class citizen of the Android application development. Kotlin is now the only officially supported Android application development language other than Java.

Reactive programming is already there in Android—most of the top libraries in Android support reactiveness. So, it is quite obvious that in a book titled Reactive Programming in Kotlin, we must cover Android as well.
