Kotlin项目崩溃报 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException异常问题解决思路

今天闲来无事学准备在Android Studio下编译一个Kotlin Demo 运行一下。以为环境配置好了直接运行，编译没有错误，结果运行直接报了这样一个错误：

项目很简单，就是以Kotlin写了一个MainActivity，布局中间一个TextView，然后后APP启动后显示一个给TextView显示Hello。结果启动后直接崩溃了，log如上。开始以为没有在清单文件注册，结果并不是。后来经过一系列排查发现是少在app目录下的build.gradle少添加了一行代码。

我的解决方法：

在app目录下的build.gradle配置文件中添加一行
apply plugin:'kotlin-android'
