How to implement Kotlin class from java in android?

I'm a Java/Kotlin newbie, working on an android app. I tried to implement the following into YourApplication.kt, that I found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42679191/4666306

package com.tijaname.fortysix

import android.app.Activity
import android.app.Application
import android.os.Bundle
import android.util.Log.println

class YourApplication : Application() {

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(AppLifecycleTracker())
    }

}


class AppLifecycleTracker : Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks  {
    private var numStarted = 0

    override fun onActivityStarted(activity: Activity?) {
        if (numStarted == 0) {
            println("Activity has started");
        }
        numStarted++
    }

    override fun onActivityStopped(activity: Activity?) {
        numStarted--
        if (numStarted == 0) {
            println("Activity  has stopped");
        }
    }

}

I added 

 ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.51'
 classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

to my gradle scripts. I also added this to my manifest:

         <activity android:name=".YourApplication"></activity>

I tried to invoke the kotlin script like this (from my MainActivity in java):

 Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), YourApplication.class);
    startActivity(intent);

But I get the following error:

Class 'YourApplication' is not abstract and does not implement abstract member public abstract fun onActivityResumed(p0: Activity!)...

I followed Android-Studio's suggestions to make it abstract, but that led to more errors.

I also tried to 'Implement members' per AS's suggestion, but this makes my app crash in the emulator.

Thank you!

Your inner class i.e., AppLifecycleTracker class need to override few more methods. 

  import android.app.Activity
  android.app.Application
  import android.os.Bundle


/**

class AirventApplication : Application() {


    override fun onCreate() {
       super.onCreate()
       registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(AppLifecycleTracker())
    }

  class AppLifecycleTracker : Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {

      private var numStarted = 0

      override fun onActivityStarted(activity: Activity?) {
          if (numStarted == 0) {
              println("Activity has started");
          }
          numStarted++
      }

      override fun onActivityStopped(activity: Activity?) {
          numStarted--
          if (numStarted == 0) {
              println("Activity  has stopped");
          }
      }

      override fun onActivityPaused(p0: Activity?) {
        TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
       }

      override fun onActivityResumed(p0: Activity?) {
        TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
      }

      override fun onActivityDestroyed(p0: Activity?) {
        TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
      }

      override fun onActivitySaveInstanceState(p0: Activity?, p1: Bundle?)  {
        TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
      }

      override fun onActivityCreated(p0: Activity?, p1: Bundle?) {
        TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
      }
 }
}

And declare your application class in Manifest like:

  <application
    android:name=".YourApplication"
    android:icon="@mipmap/app_icon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity
        android:name=".YourActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
   </application>
