I created a Flutter project using default values, which are Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS. Halfway through the project I needed to integrate a 3rd party Android SDK that requires Java. Can I convert a Flutter project to Java for Android after creation?
I know I will need yo use Platform Channels to integrate native code with my Flutter app, this is not my concern.

I had the same problem, for me this solution works.
- Move folder com.example.test_app (any name you have) from android/app/src/main/kotlin -> android/app/src/main/java
Replace MainActivity.kt with Java version, or copy down here
package com.example.test_app; import androidx.annotation.NonNull; import io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterActivity; import io.flutter.embedding.engine.FlutterEngine; import io.flutter.plugins.GeneratedPluginRegistrant; public class MainActivity extends FlutterActivity { @Override public void configureFlutterEngine(@NonNull FlutterEngine flutterEngine) { GeneratedPluginRegistrant.registerWith(flutterEngine); } }
Remove following code android/app/build.grandle
... apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' ... sourceSets { main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin' }
In the same place replace following:
dependencies { implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version" testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12' androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.1.0' androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.0' }
to
dependencies { testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12' androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2' androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2' }
