How to use Kotlin library in Java project?

Question

I found a library that fits my purpose, but it is written on Kotlin. Can i use it in Java project?

Framework: https://github.com/mpetlyuk/initial_tips

Usage on Kotlin:

// Create view for your tip
val inflater = LayoutInflater.from(Context)
val tipView = DataBindingUtil.inflate<ViewDataBinding>(inflater, R.layout.item_tooltip, null, false).getRoot()

// Create tip
val tip = Tooltip.Builder()
    .attachTooltipView(tipView)
    .withEnterAnimation(AnimationComposer(FadeInAnimator()).duration(ANIM_DURATION))
    .withExitAnimation(AnimationComposer(FadeOutAnimator()).duration(ANIM_DURATION))
    .withGravity(TipVerticalGravity.BOTTOM, TipHorizontalGravity.LEFT)
    .withAnchorView(/* anchor view */)
    .build()

// Create a queue of tips
val tooltipsQueue = LinkedBlockingQueue<Tip>(listOf(tip))

// Create a queue of tips
TipsManager.showTips(binding.root as ViewGroup, ContextCompat.getColor(this, 0 /* your resource color for dimming */)) { tooltipsQueue }

You first need to add support Kotlin in your app. Just create temp kotlin file, android studio will guide you how to do it.

TextView tipView = (TextView) LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.item_tooltip, null, false).getRootView();
Tooltip tip = new Tooltip.Builder()
        .attachTooltipView(tipView)
        .withEnterAnimation(new AnimationComposer<BaseViewAnimator>(new FadeInAnimator()).duration(500))
        .withExitAnimation(new AnimationComposer<BaseViewAnimator>(new FadeOutAnimator()).duration(500))
        .withGravity(TipVerticalGravity.BOTTOM, TipHorizontalGravity.LEFT)
        .withAnchorView(loginButton)
        .build();

List<Tip> tips = new ArrayList<>();
tips.add(tip);
final LinkedBlockingQueue<Tip> tooltipsQueue = new LinkedBlockingQueue<>(tips);
TipsManager.showTips(rootView, R.color.colorAccent, new Function0<Queue<Tip>>() {
    @Override
    public Queue<Tip> invoke() {
        return tooltipsQueue;
    }
});
