Some time ago a colleague offered a cake to anyone who could assist in integrating Google's calendar and resource API. So, I do like cake and thought that I should give it a try. I started playing with the mentioned APIs and as usual, Java 8 has been chosen as a starter, which quickly led to some first results, but it would make sense to put some effort into creating a mobile application. Unfortunately, I didn't know much about Android yet, except that it's based on Java 6, resembles Swing programming and defines some custom lifecycle strategies.

It was in January when I blogged about Redux on Android and, around the same time, I've started implementing a solution in Kotlin.
My purpose was not to do the n+1 implementation of Redux, but more to provide a solution that can be used in conjunction with some of Kotlin's new language features like coroutines, to handle asynchronicity for instance.
