Is it possible to program for android in pure C++?

Question

JavaScript

In the future, I want to develop applications for android, according to numerous suggestions, I began to study programming with C ++ (which I do not regret) - basic features (functions, classes, pointers, links, arrays, etc.).
Question:
1) Do I need to switch to Java or can I use C++? Still, it is quite complicated, and programming at the processor level, adding bits + bytes is not very pulling, but C ++ certainly understands a lot of things that I didn’t understand before, but I can’t go further because of my age, probably.
2) If, for example, I learn Java from books (Horstmann, Schildt, etc.), is it suitable for android in its purest form? Or is it necessary to connect third-party software, or, api, other knowledge?
3) Is it possible to start immediately with the engines after the basis, or is this wrong?

Answer 1

1) C++ is not C, adding up "bits in bytes" is not necessary here so often (unnecessarily). Especially with Qt. There are a lot of opinions here, the entry threshold is still high. But the fear of self-learning is unnatural for someone who has decided to connect life with programming.
2) JavaSE API is largely available in Android, but there is also a whole framework to support the Android Java API. Learning Android is a must.
Almost any language on its own is useless without some application API, whether it be the Java SE/EE API classes, FCL in the .Net Framework, or Qt/GTK/wxWidgets/MFC in C++ and others.

Answer 2

Android: Qt vs Java. What is better to use?

Answer 3

Can. Already there are even a bunch of books in Russian on this topic.

Answer 4

Can. Moreover, there was even an article on Habré that compared NDK (C ++) and SDK (Java) and the SDK was clearly not in a winning situation (in terms of speed, but not development speed)
