What language should an Android developer learn?

Question

Android

Good afternoon! I've been working on finalizing/supporting 2 old PHP projects for almost a year. But I would like to try my hand at mobile development, since there are just a lot of materials to study. Having rustled Google, I now discovered 2 types of development, netiv and using frameworks in html / css / js, c # and many other languages, it confused me a little, which language to choose after all? I myself tend to java (I studied it before about half a year), but I slightly do not understand the situation with oracle and google, will google give up java?
Please advise who knows more about this issue.

Answer 1

If you want to be a normal Android developer, then you don't have to look in the direction of all these frameworks. It's simple - learn Java, and then the platform. And if you want to be progressive as well, then start learning Kotlin.

Answer 2

but i don't understand the situation with oracle and google a bit

They settled their dispute. The court said that Oracle was too fucked up.

I'm leaning towards java

Correctly.

Answer 3

stop leaning towards java and start learning

Answer 4

You can look at JavaScript with ReactNative.
You can try packaging HTML5 applications with PhoneGap, it's enough for many tasks.
