In my Kotlin project, I have some parts of Java code that I want to convert to Kotlin. The menu item that converts the Java file to Kotlin is disabled because it's not a whole file I want to convert.

How can I convert Java code to Kotlin?

Java Solutions

Solution 1 - Java

With Android Studio 3.0

You don't need to install any plugin to convert java code to kotlin code. Now, Google is officially supporting Kotlin language.

  • Android Studio Menu -> Code -> Convert Java File to Kotlin File

Before Android Studio 3.0

If you are using older Android Studio ( which is below version 3.0 ) there is a Kotlin tool under the menu.

Installing Kotlin plugin :

  • Android Studio Menu -> File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Browse repositories -> Kotlin

Converting Java Code to Kotlin Code :

  • Select your java class file from project structure.
  • Android Studio Menu -> Code -> Convert Java File to Kotlin File

Solution 2 - Java

There is no tool to convert Kotlin code to Java. If you want to convert part of a file from Java to Kotlin, the easiest way is to copy the code from the Java file in the IDE and paste it into the Kotlin file.

Solution 3 - Java

I found a workaround:

  1. Create a Java file and paste inside this file Java code, which you want to convert.
  2. Now copy Java code from Java file.
  3. Go to the Kotlin file and paste this code. IDEA will suggest convert code from Java to Kotlin.

Solution 4 - Java

To convert Java code in Android studio use CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+K

To convert from Website use Try Kotlin site.

To convert from Android app use Master in Android.

Solution 5 - Java

To convert a complete file into Kotlin, use this combo of keys:

  • Shift + Alt + Cmd + k in Mac
  • Shift + Alt + Ctrl + k in Windows

Solution 6 - Java

In Android Studio 3.0

Kotlin is fully supported from Android Studio 3.0 (i.e, NO Kotlin Plugin required). If you have Android Studio >= 3.0 then your following jobs are very easy,

  • You can create new Kotlin file.
  • You can add Kotlin code to existing Project.
  • You can convert entire JAVA code into Kotlin

Convert existing Java code to Kotlin code

In Android Studio 3.0, open a Java file and select Code > Convert Java File to Kotlin File.

Or, create a new Kotlin file (File > New > Kotlin File/Class), and then paste your Java code into that file—when prompted, click Yes to convert the code to Kotlin. You can check Don't show this dialog next time, which makes it easy to dump Java code snippets into your Kotlin files.

Dialog Window

Solution 8 - Java

When pasting Java code into Kotlin file, using IntelliJ derived IDE, the IDE will not convert the Java into Kotlin.

The problem seems to stem from IntelliJ not knowing the code is Java. Here is a simple way to ensure that code is converted into Kotlin.

  1. Copy the Java code from your web browser.
  2. Open Scratch File (File -> New -> Scratch File or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Insert)
  3. In the Languages dialog select Java as the language.

New Scratch window Languages dialog.

  1. Paste the previously copied Java snippet.
  2. Select All (Ctrl-A) and Copy (Ctrl-C)
  3. Now Paste into your Kotlin code.

By first pasting the Java code into a Java scratch file, you have let IntelliJ know that the code snippet is Java code. It will then automatically convert the code to Kotlin when pasting into a Kotlin file.

Then it will ask you in a dialog box whether it's something you want to do and convert it right in the spot if you answer yes. You can also check the "do not ask to convert" and it will automatically convert any Java code you paste in the future for you.
