 ## Common usage
 
 1. Display the change log dialog by putting the following code in your activity's `onCreate()` method:
 
-  ```java
-  ChangeLog changelog = new ChangeLog(this);
+  ```kt
+  val changelog = ChangeLog(this)
   if (changelog.isFirstRun()) {
-      changelog.getLogDialog().show();
+      changelog.getLogDialog().show()
   }
   ```
 
 ## Include the library
 
 The easiest way to add ChangeLog to your project is via Gradle. Just add the following lines to your `build.gradle`:
 
-```groovy
+```kts
 dependencies {
-    implementation 'com.github.AppDevNext:ChangeLog:$latestVersion'
+    implementation("com.github.AppDevNext:ChangeLog:$latestVersion")
 }
 ```
 
 To tell Gradle where to find the library, make sure `build.gradle` also contains this:
 
-```groovy
+```kts
 allprojects {
     repositories {
-        ...
-        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
+        maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
     }
 }
 ```
