Answer 3

Ofcourse it's true but it's not beginner friendly.

Answer 4

Continue learning Java.

Answer 5

I would recommend you to learn PhoneGap(HTML, CSS, JS). It's easier than Java. HTML, CSS, JS can also be used to make websites.

Answer 6

@Lakshay But Java isn't that good to be used as a first language. You could learn it later.

Answer 7

I think you should learn Java, as android development is mostly done in Java, and a new language Kotlin is very similar to java.
C/C++, python etc. are not considered good for android development.

Answer 8

@Yousef So, being a begginer you can first learn python, to strengthen your concepts then learn C language and then try Java.

Answer 9

@110000 Any language can be learnt as a begginer if we understand its very basics. C++ was my first language and i like to code in it.
