MySQL connector for java works for Kotlin as well. You can download it from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads

And then you can kotlint like that:

val connectionProps = Properties()
connectionProps.put("user", username)
connectionProps.put("password", password)

try {
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance()
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(“url”, connectionProps)
} catch (ex: SQLException) {
    // handle any errors
    ex.printStackTrace()
} catch (ex: Exception) {
    // handle any errors
    ex.printStackTrace()
}
