I’ll let others correct me, but I think Kotlin is the way, considering that most examples in the docs are in Kotlin.

That said, I don’t know how helpful it is to have learned Java before Kotlin, and knowing Java might be useful if you ever encounter codebases that haven’t migrated to Kotlin yet.

You need both. If you want to start as fast as possible, learn Kotlin first.
