What is the best programming language to develop Android apps?, Java?,

I Personally like Java using Eclipse IDE ... Java is only and most popular programming language that is used for developing Android apps.

its depending upon your experience, upto my knoweledge java is best one....

I recommend native programming only for now, and wait and see how Javascript is holding up in 2016

I think tat Java is the best for Android. According this research -

Java is the best programming language to develop android apps..

I use Lua on Corona SDK. It's easy to start with. Perfect community

Definitely java for generic purpose.

If you have critical issue related to performances you can write some procedures in native C code and call it from your java app using JNI.

But if you have such problematic, you are certainly making a game or a 3D app and the right question is then : which framework should I use ?
LibGDX can be a response but there is a lot of other choices. Also note that if you need deep 3D features you will have to learn a bit about open GL 2 ES and the GLSL language.

You can develop in other languages to Android (fx. with C# with Unity including Android apk export). Java is just "main" language for, since Android is running on it.

There are two official programming languages for native mobile android development:

Java
Kotlin
Kotlin was declared official android language some 10–15 days ago during Google I/O 2017.

Java is official android language since android came into existence.

Java's support on internet, stack overflow, books, tutorials is top notch. No programming language in world comes near Java in terms of support from programming community. However there are programmer who used Kotlin for android development thats why Google made it official language (or maybe because of its dispute with Oracle for copyright infringement lol).

If you're just starting learning android go with Java.
If you have some experience with java the I'd suggest to go with Java and use some kotlin code too. because it can be used with Java and can use all Java libraries built for Android.
I am here not talking about PhoneGap/Cardova(HTML5,CSS,JavaScrip), Xamarin (C#), Corona(Lua) etc because I think we don't get that feeling with cross platform languages like we get from official languages.

I personally recommended Java is the best language to build a android apps

JAVA is the right choice to learn, it's hard to understand its funda and coding method but once you will have good command on functionality and array and class of code then you will easily work in JAVA and develop any mobile application you want wither in android or iOS.

Java is one of the most popular programming languages for the android development wide area, code libraries, solutions, and instant modules are the topmost benefits. Generally talking, in the event that developers experience issues, they may effectively find the solutions in a matter of seconds.

This. Android is technically java, except most of the methods are weird, have weird parameters, and are unique to mobile development. You also need to know XML, which is like HTML without rules. OP should probably start with Ionic or Android Studio, it's a bit more straightforward than react-native ime, albeit less employable. I started Android app development last Monday(currently on holidays) and I’ve been able to make a simple movie/show searching app that can take a search input and display movie details(cast, runtime, etc) from IMDB(using the OMDB API) and then display if the movie/show is on Netflix or not(using the Guidebox API). I’ve made use of intents, recycler view, libraries that help parse JSON, etc.

Hi ,

I recommend the following languages for app development as they are dynamic and most demanding in industry now.

1. JAVA
2. Python
3. Swift
4. Dart
