Aristotle xiii Abstract In recent years, with more than 3 million applications on its official store, Google’s Android has dominated the market of mobile operating systems worldwide. Despite this success, Google has continued evolving its operating system and its toolkits to ease application development. In 2017 Google declared Kotlin as an official Android programming language. More recently, during the Google I/O 2019, Google announced that Android became ‘Kotlin-first’, which means that new API, libraries, and documentation will target Kotlin and eventually Java and Kotlin as preferred language to create new Android applications. Kotlin is a programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and it is fully interoperable with Java because both languages are compiled to JVM bytecode. Due to this characteristic, Android developers do not need to migrate their existing applications to Kotlin to start using Kotlin in these applications. Moreover, Kotlin provides a different approach to write applications because it combines object-oriented and functional features. Therefore, we hypothesize that the adoption of Kotlin by developers may affect different aspects of Android applications’ development. However, one year after this first announcement, there were no studies in the literature about Kotlin. In this thesis, we conducted a series of empirical studies to address these lacks and build a better understanding of creating high-quality Android applications using Kotlin. First, we carried a study to measure the degree of adoption of Kotlin. Our results showed that 11% of the studied Android applications had adopted Kotlin. Then, we analyzed how the adoption of Kotlin impacted the quality of Android applications in terms of code smells. We found that the introduction of Kotlin in Android applications initially written in Java produces a rise in the quality scores from 50% to 80% according to the code smell considered. We analyzed the evolution of usage of features introduced by Kotlin, such as Smart cast, and how the amount of Kotlin code changes over applications’ evolution. We found that the number of instances of features tends to grow throughout applications’ evolution. Finally, we focused on the migration of Android applications from Java to Kotlin. We found that 25% of the open source applications that were initially written in Java have entirely migrated to Kotlin, and for 19%, the migration was done gradually, throughout several versions, thanks to the interoperability between Java and Kotlin. This migration activity is challenging because: a) each migrated piece of code must be exhaustively tested after the migration to ensure it preserves the expected behavior; b) a project can be large, composed of several candidate files to be migrated. In this thesis, we present an approach to support migration, which suggests, given a version of an application written in Java and eventually, in Kotlin, the most convenient files to migrate. We evaluated our approach’s feasibility by applying two different machine learning techniques: classification and learning-to-rank. Our results showed that both techniques modestly outperform random approaches. Nevertheless, our approach is the first that proposes the use of machine learning to recommend file-level migrations. Therefore, our results define a baseline for future work. Since the migration from Java to Kotlin may positively impact the application’s maintenance and that migration is time-consuming and challenging, developers may use our approach to select the files to be migrated first. Finally, we discuss several research perspectives opened by our results that can improve the experience of creating high-quality Android applications using Kotlin. Keywords: Android development, Kotlin, adoption, evolution, migration, machine learning xiv Résumé Ces dernières années, avec plus de 3 millions d’applications sur sa boutique officielle, Android de Google a dominé le marché des systèmes d’exploitation mobiles dans le monde entier. Malgré ce succès, Google a continué à faire évoluer son système d’exploitation et ses kits d’outils pour faciliter le développement des applications. En 2017, Google a déclaré Kotlin en tant que langage de programmation Android officiel. Plus récemment, pendant le Google I/O 2019, Google a annoncé qu’Android devenait ‘Kotlin-first’, ce qui signifie que de nouvelles API, bibliothèques et documentations cibleront en priorité Kotlin, et éventuellement Java et Kotlin, comme langage préféré pour créer de nouvelles applications Android. Kotlin est un langage de programmation qui s’exécute sur la machine virtuelle Java (JVM) et il est entiè- rement interopérable avec Java car les deux langages sont compilés en bytecode JVM. En raison de cette caractéristique, les développeurs Android n’ont pas besoin de migrer leurs applications existantes vers Kotlin pour commencer à utiliser Kotlin dans ces applications. De plus, Kotlin propose une approche différente pour écrire des applications car il combine des fonctionnalités orientées objet et fonctionnelles. Par conséquent, nous émettons l’hypothèse que l’adoption de Kotlin par les développeurs Android peut affecter différents aspects du développement des applications Android. Cependant, un an après cette première annonce, il n’y avait aucune étude dans la littérature sur Kotlin. Dans cette thèse, nous avons mené une série d’études empiriques pour combler ces lacunes et développer une meilleure compréhension de la création d’applications Android de haute qualité à l’aide de Kotlin. Tout d’abord, nous avons réalisé une étude pour mesurer le degré d’adoption

In late 2017 Google announced first-class support for Kotlin on the Android platform which further popularized the language. With this increase in popularity we felt it was interesting to investigate how Kotlin affects the developer experience. We performed a case study to see how Java developers perceive the Kotlin language, and how it meets the requirements of these developers. To gather the developer requirements and their perception of Kotlin we performed two sets of interviews and rewrote parts of their codebase. The first set of interviews identified developer requirements and the second set of interviews showcased the Kotlin language and its potential use in their codebase. The results show that Kotlin can meet most of the developer requirements and that the perception of Kotlin is positive. Kotlin’s ability to be incrementally adopted was a prominent feature which reduced the inherent risks of technology adoption while providing them the ability to further evaluate the language.

  • Develop a Simple Web Application with Apache Wicket and Apache
    Develop a simple Web application with Apache Wicket and Apache Geronimo Combine Wicket, Geronimo, and Apache Derby to form an open source Java Web development platform Skill Level: Intermediate Robi Sen ([email protected]) Vice President Department 13 LLC 10 Jul 2007 Apache Wicket is an innovative Java™ Web application framework that was introduced a couple of years ago. It helps simplify Web application development by clearly separating the roles of developers and designers. It lets you remove logical code from the view layer, eliminating the need for JavaServer Pages (JSP), providing a simple plain old Java object (POJO)-centric mode of development, and removing much of the need for XML and other configuration file formats. In this tutorial, learn how to set up your system to develop a simple Web application with Wicket, using Apache Geronimo as your application server and Apache Derby as the embedded database. Section 1. Before you start This tutorial is designed for developers who have found Java frameworks, such as Struts, lacking in needed functionality. If you're interested in developing Web applications in a more object-oriented manner, where the view is clearly separated from logic and there's minimal configuration and mapping, then Wicket is for you! This tutorial walks you through the basics of how Wicket works, while using Apache Geronimo to set up a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) server, Web server, and embedded database in just minutes. Combining Wicket with Geronimo lets you develop data-driven, scalable Web applications using software that's all open source.

  • An Object Relational Mapping Technique for Java Framework

The revolutionary aspect refers to the innovation of an object-oriented programming technology. Object relational mapping (ORM) frameworks address the impedance problem of software implementation level. In this paper, we discussed the problem of building an object relational mapping by presenting a framework based on Java platform that will guide developer in handling incompatibility issues. This paper exploits the powerful features of Java as a managed object-oriented platform. The major goal of the work is to map data between incompatible type systems in the object-oriented programming language by linking the SQL database to object-oriented language concepts, thus creating in effect a “virtual object database”. The work discusses how a mini bank application can be designed and implemented as well as mapping of the object- oriented constructs to entities of the relational databases. Implementing the design in code is a straightforward process that results in two Java class libraries (.JAR files) that have to be deployed in the development environment.

First we will try to situate databeans amongst the various existing persistence schemes. These can be arranged according to the following criteria: • orthogonal/API-based • object-relational/full object (depending on the nature of the backing store) • coarse grained (all at once) to fine grained (incremental) Different kinds of persistence Orthogonal means that there is no difference between not persistent and persistent. All objects are made persistent. In other words, a persistent object doesn't have to implement some specific class (there is no data access object). The advantage is that the developer has no side effects when using persistence [1], but it entails either an extension of the virtual machine, or some persistence support from the underlying OS [2].
