As an app, it makes sense to convert to Kotlin but as a library, it doesn't. Converting to Kotlin only means that now the library would have a transitive dependency on the Kotlin standard library. For people who have yet to move to Kotlin in their app's the library if added will only add bloat to their app.

On the other hand, this being in Java is completely useable in Kotlin world. However in the future when there are enough users of Kotlin on Android the library could be ported Kotlin. Until then I do not see any benefit in porting this to Kotlin.

Closing as this proposal doesn't bring any useful benefit to users of this library.

Okay, no problem. Also, what about updating the dependencies to the latest version ? The support libraries have moved to androidx library

Packagehunter does not depend on any support library 😄

Take a look at the dependencies block here

Oh my fault, saw those dependencies for sample app :D
