Even if you do not think we are fully in the post-PC era, it is clear that mobile platforms play a vital role in many
areas of our lives. Whether for fun or for profit, developing Android apps can be beneficial,
both individually and financially. Suppose you have a certain level of technical knowledge
then it is possible to develop Android apps yourself, but what programming languages
do you need to learn?
Android SDK Tutorial for beginners
Android SDK now has MarshMelo support.
Java is the official language for Android development. Java has large parts of Android
written and its APIs are primarily designed to be called Java. It is possible to build a C and
C ++ app using the Android Native Development Kit (NDK), however
this is not something that Google promotes. According to Google,
"Most apps won't benefit from NDK. As a developer, you need to balance
its advantages over its drawbacks. In particular, using native code on Android
usually doesn't improve the performance significantly, but it always adds to the complexity of your app.

The job of these virtual machines is to interpret the bytecode.
Java is a programming language that Sun Microsystems first released in 1995.
It can be found on many different devices, from smartphones to mainframe computers.
You can use it on your desktop PC and even the Raspberry Pi.
Java does not compile local processor code, but it relies on a "virtual machine"
that understands the intermediate format called Java Biocode.
Virtual machine (VM) implementation requires every Java platform.
The real VM on Android is called Dalvik. Google has also begun previewing its next-generation
VM called ART. The job of these virtual machines is to translate the bike code,
which is really a set of instructions similar to the machine code found in CPUs,
and executes the program on the processor. VMs use a variety of technologies to accelerate
the process, i
ncluding only periodic compilation (JIT) and premature compilation (AOT).

What this means is that you can build Android apps on Windows, Linux or OSX and convert the Java compiler source code into a biking code. As a result, built-in VM is implemented in Android.
This is different from the model used by IOS that uses the native compiler to convert Object-C to ARM machine code.
