Introducing Gryphon, the Swift to Kotlin translator

Posted: 20 May 2020 05:01 PM PDT

Hi all, I've just published the first full version Gryphon, a program that translates Swift code into Kotlin code. It is meant to let developers share their iOS app's code with Android.

I encourage anyone interested to check out the video and the website.

This is the first version where all features are working:

The generated Kotlin code works the same as the Swift code it came from, no edits needed. There's an automated test that makes Gryphon translate its own source code, with around 12k lines, and ensures the translation passes all the same tests as the original executable.
There's a templates system that's used to automatically translate many standard library types and methods.
Xcode integration, with Xcode showing any warnings or errors raised by the Kotlin compiler next to the Swift lines that originated them, so users can fix them at the source.
The output code is readable, which is useful for minimizing the risks for new users. If Gryphon isn't the right fit for them, they're left with a Kotlin codebase they can keep maintaining.

This list of features isn't to say there aren't any bugs, of course - I'm doing my best to keep track of them and fix them on a daily basis.

Any questions, comments, or feedback in general is welcome!

Kotlin Extension function to chain ConstraintLayout animations with TransitionManager

Posted: 21 May 2020 03:18 AM PDT

So this basically just runs one Transition after the previous one ends, useful where you want to chain several ConstraintLayout Transitions one after another. As there was no "true" built-in method to do this, I decided to create a small extension function for it.

PS: TransitionSet with the SEQUENTIAL option didn't work for me

How important is familiarity with Gradle as a skill for an Android developer?

Posted: 20 May 2020 05:01 PM PDT

I understand that Gradle helps automate dependency management, task automation, and other things, but I can't find anything online that discusses its importance in the daily use by Android developers. Do you use the features with Gradle a lot in your work? As a beginner learning it in Udacity, I'm just being introduced to it. How important is this skill? When you're hiring someone, is this something you'd value in them?

DO Android Jobs pay well?

Posted: 20 May 2020 01:47 PM PDT

I feel like everyone wants to get into Android and so there is a lot of competition and it keeps the pay down. Kinda like the gaming industry?
