Use Java API in Kotlin

Question

Is it possible to use a Java API in Kotlin. For example I want to use a Barcode Scanner API, which ist written in Java, in my Kotlin code. So how can I use the constructor? In Java it is new BarcodeScanner() how can I do this in Kotlin

Of course you can. Or simply, instead of new keyword which mentioned by another user, write your codes in Java class language (if you're beginner in Kotlin) then use Code -> Convert java file to Kotlin file and it will convert it to Kotlin which is a good place to start Kotlin and learning how it can be changed from java to kotlin. — ʍѳђઽ૯ท

Almost the same just without the new keyword.

val scanner = BarcodeScanner()
