Starting Android Development

Himean007 · Dec 25, 2018

Hey All,
I have decided to now focus on android development.I will be starting from Android Studio.So, here are few questions in my mind:
1. Should i dedicate myself to learn java first (i already now c++ and a lil bit python)?
2. Suggest me some good courses(free recommended)
3. Is android studio the best choice?

Can you explain what are you trying to accomplish?
A commercial app, learning experience?

If commercial, where are you in the lifecycle?

A side suggestion would be to use B4A if you want a RAD environment and need a basic MVP fast. Although there is pros and cons with this.

Rapid Application Development (RAD)

B4A is Basic 4 Android, its a fast way to get a simple app up and running. Which can be good for prototyping or where Rapid application is a factor.

Start with android studio. You will be using gradle a lot (for importing libraries and all). No need to separately learn java for it. Official tutorials will give you a good start. And stackoverflow is your friend

I would suggest you spend a bit more time, on what you want to achieve with this.

If you are planning this solely for learning or making your own app, its fine.

If you are planning to develop for others, freelance - you will be working mostly cross platform (apps that run both ios and android).

For cross platform apps - you can choose between ReactNative (on JS) and Flutter (on Dart)
