Java = Android. Swift = iOS asking which is better for mobile, is basically asking which mobile OS is better.

Java. Personal preference, none is "better". They are just different. Also, I don't have a IOs mobile to test swift code.

ios provide more money on app if ur app is good. so if u rank ur apps more than 75 then go to ios as it pays more if u wanna be average developer then android would be awesome , as it will give u customers.

for a career it is important, for which company you are working, if you want to start your own bussines it is important, that your programms are great, attractive and especially usefull. If you developed a good app it is not important on which device.

Swift has a great performance on Apple devices. Java is more platform compatibel Or HTML, CSS and Javascript can be used for Android and iOS but the performance is not that great.

None is better. Both are different. but the market of iOS is growing so you should opt for swift.

Android is losing popularity at the moment, and iOS is growing to the top. If you want more people to use your apps, I'd suggest you go for Swift Fundamentals for now.

That's an hard question that you will have to decide for yourself... I'm not realy sure about swift, but i know that Java is a cross plataform PL, and that's one of its strongest pros! Good luck with it

Java is mainly used for Android applications development. Swift is mainly used for iOS application development.

I'm an Android developer. if you want to earn a lot of money in your personal project, you should make iOS app.. so swift is better but you should choose whatever you feel comfortable.

Which one would be better to fill your career profile? At least in my country, Java is the most valuable to have. Still that doesn't apply everywhere!
