Is there a way to completely build an Android game only using code. Without the help of an "Engine" and on a mobile device

Question

if you have knowledge on this, please help

this is my first question so sorry if I messed up the tags, not exactly sure how they work.

Answer 1

of course. An engine makes it easy because it writes alot of the tedious code for you, but all that code it writable by you if you so choose. Learn Java and XML

Answer 2

is XML a solo learn course or should I look for and external one?

Answer 3

I'll try AIDE, I've been working on a game for PC but my computer is in the shop. I don't see why I would need XML tho, do I need it for the manifest?

Answer 4

XML handles android layouts... Think of it like CSS with JavaScript

Answer 5

sololearn doesn't cover that.. YouTube and books
