Should I keep learning android development in 2018?

Question

Android

I heard they want to cover up android and google will release another OS. Is it worth learning then android now and what will happen next? And with the new OS, java will completely die out, only kotlin will remain?

Answer 1

Weird question.
Until 2022, as before Beijing. For 4 years, you can learn Android and successfully forget it.
The question you first need to ask yourself is - why do you need an android at all?
Second. Fuchsia OS will support all applications written for Android.
It is possible that Java will die out, and perhaps not (not in vain, because it has been around for 30 years). There will be Kotlin, then he will die out. So what? It will be replaced by another language. So we will sit and watch how one language comes to replace another? Waiting for what?
And third. The question is posed as if only one language or platform is chosen once and for life. Funny.

Answer 2

First, read this news .
Quote from the article:

Google emphasized that Kotlin will be an additional language and in no way will replace Java and C ++ (today, Java is the first class language for Android). It is planned that Kotlin tools based on the JetBrains IDE will be standardly included in Android Studio 3.0, the official development tool for the Android OS.

Secondly, Java will stay with Android forever - at least because of the Java Machine that the OS uses.
Thirdly, it doesn't make sense for Google to replace Android with another operating system. This will be extremely difficult and costly to do. If Google is developing a new OS, then only for certain devices.
As they say, to be afraid of wolves - do not go into the forest) Technologies develop, some programming languages ​​die, some appear. And according to your logic, development is not worth doing at all.
