Development for android, is it worth learning java or can you get by with the NDK and write everything in C++?

Question

Android

I have knowledge of C \ C ++ and experience working under Arduino (not a professional, but I did small projects), now I would like to try myself as a developer for Android and I would like to know an opinion where to start and whether it is worth learning Java or the best way - to combine both languages??
Thank you all in advance, I ask for an adequate opinion and the more details, the better)

Answer 1

Combining
java is not that hard

Answer 2

Of course it's worth it. Writing android applications now in c ++ is poor

Answer 3

+1 for Java
You don't start from scratch, you have knowledge of C\C++. And this means the book "Thinking in Java" 4th edition (Philosophy of Java 4th edition) in both hands, it is written just for those who have a C \ C ++ base. This is essentially Java Core, which is so necessary for a quality start of writing for Android. It will take a little time, because there are 1300 pages, but having mastered it, it will turn out to write a bit of high-quality code.

Answer 4

Depends on the complexity of the application. There is something really complicated, a lot of work with text, etc. - it is better to write natively.
If something is simpler, then it is quite possible to write on Qt (QML).
