@Okafor Bryce:

It's not necessary at all to post several at once, and anyway it doesn't increase your post counter ^^ Use edition functionality instead, if you have to quick and want to add something...

@suryapoojary:

You can use JS (often associated with Html/Css) to make some android apps, but this not the easiest/efficient way ^^

Anyway, depending on what you're meaning by 'natively' this is not the case for JS, except if you mean typing JS code on IDE apps (but not much efficient also, as comfort of desktop tools :P)

Answer 2

with Cordova/phone gap and ionic framework its the easiest. I tried it myself. Really easy to deploy and also to debug. But the app is not native. For this you can give react native a try.

Answer 3

I would also recommend python

Answer 4

of course

Answer 5
