Topic:Android
Answer:
Yes. Java was historically the main Android language; today the standard is Kotlin. After Mate Java core you add Kotlin in 1–2 months + mobile frameworks separately.
Android development was historically written in Java, with legacy code still active in many Polish companies (Allegro, Booksy mobile, Polish banks mobile apps). The modern Google-recommended standard since 2019 is Kotlin — more concise, null-safe, full Java interop. If you know Java core and OOP (which the Mate Java course gives you), moving to Kotlin takes 1–2 months of self-study. Mate academy does not teach Android directly, but Java graduates have all the basics: Java core + mobile frameworks (Jetpack Compose, Retrofit, Room) you learn separately. Polish firms often look for Android developers (mobile-first approach popular in 2026): Allegro, Booksy, Polish banks, e-commerce. A junior Android dev in PL earns PLN 8,000–12,000 (UoP), mid PLN 17,000+. Another career option after Mate Java (source: NoFluffJobs 2026).
