Can I use third-party java libraries (.jar) to develop Android with Kotlin?

Question

I have not moved to Kotlin for Android development yet, I just wonder if Kotlin supports available third-party libraries for Android as it is or do they need to be updated to work with Kotlin?

Answer 1

Of course you can do this, see examples:
