What kind of programming language do I need to learn to make an app?

I am thinking about making an app that also be used for apple and android. I'm a beginner and don't know any programming language. If there is no hybrid language that is not easy then I would want a programming language that can work in android. I heard Java is good, but then I heard that it will not be popular in the future.

Both are good languages and the BEST for Android Apps I don't know which can be easier for a beginner but I recommend you Java because you can do more things with him (Desktop apps, Mobile apps, Back-end, etc.) Anyway, you can learn both here and see which one fits better for you. All the languages has their hard things but with the time you will get used to it and will be really easy and funny. 🧏🏼‍♀️🧏🏼‍♀️🧏🏼‍♀️

Java will be popular forever, the people says that because Android actually uses Kotlin but internally Kotlin use de JVM to run so that will not happen early. Normally is use Swift to programming an app in IOS (you might need a Mac) and to Android development you can use a lot of languages Java, Kotlin, C# (with Xamarin), Python (but not recommended), etc. Eventhough actually is popular something called PWA (progressive web app) that use Web Technologies to create desktop and mobile apps. You can try any of these languages to make a mobile app, have a good day 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️ PD: An app builded with Java or Kotlin will be faster that one with the other technologies because Java and Kotlin are the native language (the same case with Swift) PD2: To IOS you can even learn Objective-C but preferably use Swift, is easier and you can learn it here in SoloLearn.

Okay, so do you recommend that I use Kotlin or Java for making an app? I want a programming language that is good for beginners and is good with creating apps.

You can try using Dart (Flutter), it's a hybrid. Syntax style like in the C family, and overall it's cool in my opinion.
