Can I use third party java libraries(.jar) for Android development with Kotlin?

I haven't moved to Kotlin for Android development yet, just wondering if Kotlin supports the available third party libraries for Android as is or they need to be updated in order to work with Kotlin?

Yes, as Kotlin is 100% interoperable with Java, and both works on JVM. so one can easily use Java libraries with Kotlin.
