How to add a Kotlin class in an Android Studio project?

I have been working with Android Studio for a while. Recently I have heard about kotlin programming language and I wanted to try to include a class in kotlin language to my project.

There is the problem that whenevr I want to create a new Activity for example, the .java class is auto-generated. Also I see no way to cretae a .kt (kotlin) file manually.

So does anyone know how to setup a .kt file in Android Studio, so that I am able to fill it with code in kotlin language?

Get Android Studio 3 preview and when you start a new project click the option to add Kotlin support... Once in your project you'll see options to create Kotlin class when you right click

First, install Kotlin plugin in Android Studio. Restart Android Studio.
Now create a new project with no activity.
Then navigate to src>main>java><your_package_name>.
Right Click on <your_package_name>, select New>Kotlin Activity and go ahead with configuration.
Now naviagte to src>main>java><your_package_name>/<activity_name>.kt and open it.
After opening it, you will see Kotlin not configured message.
Just click configure action and run your project. That's it!

One way to do it is by converting Java file to Kotlin file. Open the java class, and from menu bar choose Code -> Convert Java File to Kotlin File.
