What language or library used to build an Android app like SoloLearn? 👀

I'm a web programmer with no experience in developing a mobile application. For website, normally you can identify the front-end technologies used easily by inspecting the url (but not always work), included assets, peeking on HTML headers or even checking the default name used in cookie. But how about an Android app? I'm genuinely interested as I hope it can inspire me and others to pursue the knowledge that powers this AWESOME app! ❤ Kindly please share your thoughts here. 😄

If the application is not an Open Source project, you can't see the source code! There is the Reverse Engineering, but it is illegal and you are a good person, aren't you.. ?

Normally apps which use Open Source are listed under the about section. But SoloLearn decided not to :/

Yes you're right! I understand that SoloLearn is not an Open Source software and I believe there's a good reason for it. I just trying to find out if there's any possible way to learn more about it.

I'm pretty sure SoloLearn still used open source software to build the actual app like network libraries etc.
