After Java, Kotlin swooped in like the cool, new kid in Android development, and let’s be honest—it’s everyone’s favorite now. You can use it for both front-end and back-end and the best part? You get to build cross-platform apps for Android and iOS while keeping that native UX we all secretly obsess over.
With around 5.8 million developers using Kotlin worldwide, if you're part of this ever-growing fan club, this blog is tailor-made just for you!
Here is what we are going to learn in this blog.
So let’s find out the answer to each of these questions.
Figma is a collaborative browser-based interface designing and prototyping tool. It is popularly used for graphics design, wireframing websites, mobile app UI designing, prototype designing, creating social media posts, and similar things. It gives easy access to designing projects from any computer, and mobile devices.

Do you have your Figma design ready but don’t have enough time to start Android application development from scratch? If so then DhiWise is here to help you. DhiWise Android App Builder provides the following platform-specific features.
It lets you convert your Figma design to Kotlin code in a few steps. The Android builder uses MVVM architectures to keep the app logic separate from UI and helps you to build highly scalable apps in minutes.
If you are building an app with DhiWise there is no need to look beyond social media and Google authentication. Easily set up authentication from DhiWise interface.
Simply integrate Firebase and resolve your backend problems such as creating API and customizing it. Now connect your app to the Firebase database, and configure everything from DhiWise interface.
With the dual app generation feature, you can create the entire boilerplate code base for your iOS (Swift) app with all the same configuration as your Android app.
So, here is the brief about how DhiWise Android App Builder works: To start building an Android app you need to connect a Figma account with DhiWise platform and import the Figma UI design. The platform then identifies UI design components for every screen along with the interactions if any. Moreover, it allows you to select the screen, change the component's view, set up the action, and lifecycle methods, integrate API, and more.
And once the customization is done, you can download the production-ready source code and synchronize it with the GitHub and GitLab repositories. In the case, you want the code for only a few or single screens you can do so with the Export Code Option.
DhiWise gives you complete code ownership for the generated code, so you can further customize the code and use it wherever you want.
