So this was Java file to Kotlin file conversion. I have used two Activities here , First One is MainActivity and Second one is SecondActivity (Converted file).

#MainActivity.kt: The below code is used for Main Activity.

#SecondActivity.java:The below code is used for Second Activity(Before Conversion).

SecondActivity.kt: After conversion of java file to Kotlin file will look like below code.

XML: There are three XML files are used in this project 1st is for Main Activity, 2nd is for Second Activity and 3rd is “Header” File which is used in both XML. Checkout all below.

#header.xml:

#activity_main:
