For Android mobile Apps, You can use Java, C++ or Kotlin.. I advice you learn Java anyways..

You're one if the people that discouraged me when I wanted to start developing apps, chai, 5 languages and you didn't even explain one or give him a preferred language.... You're wicked lol



As for the OP, Google should be your friend at all time, anyways go learn Java, its the basics for android dev

Hehehe. I only answered the question ooo. I listed so that the OP will pick one. Kotlin is the official programming language for Android, Java used to be. Kotlin is simpler than Java. So, if you wanna use Android studio, you either use Java or Kotlin or C++
For Xamarin, C++. You can build one App for three platforms, Android, iOS and Windows.
React Native for Android and iOS
Flutter for Android and iOS

Above all, before you can start programming, learn how to use Google search engine.
Thanks

Alongside all the options listed so far, theres another easier option...

It requires knowledge of HTML and Javascript and its hybrid mobile app development


Google cordova, ionic framework etc

Android Apps are developed in Java and Kotlin. Kotlin is a new language that Google has made as an alternative for Java.

Fortran for the mobile version, and Basic for the web version of android mobile dev.

Android platform s Java and kotlin both of which are Java virtual machine based languages. Don’t wast your time with any other language alternatives as they have limited right now .

Ordinary Javascript will build u a nice android app. React native is a js framework that does exactly that.

Even with ordinary html5 will do.

But u can go 4 java, kotlin etc. Android apps are basically built in Java and xml

With Xamarin Forms, you use c# and xaml to build apps that target android, iOS and UWP using Visual studio

"Dart" with flutter framework

Flutter is not a language

Anyways, i advise the op to learn either Java, Kotlin or Dart (with flutter)
