With the Outreach of Android devices in Africa ,Europe and other part of the world, android developers are significantly in-demand in most tech companies,therefore to be part of this moving train you need to learn one of these powerful programming language.

So what is the best language for an Android developer to learn first? Which language has the easiest learning curve, greatest scalability and versatility to eventually become a successful Android developer in your career journey? Here are 3 languages you should know to become an Android developer, as well as the pros and cons that come with learning each.

## Java programming language

Java is also the most popular language currently used for Android app development (it was the first official language of Android development, although kotlin is taking the lead in recent years). Currently, most of the mobile apps featured within the Google Play Store were created by using this language. One of the main reasons for this is that the Java programming language is a platform independent language that makes use of the java virtual machine which convert the java bytecode into machine code.it also makes use of the code security which is implemented on the java runtime environment. The disadvantage of Java is that the language is not easy to learn for beginners, and it requires experience working and writing code with it to create complex mobile apps and effectively tackle the app development process. Java is a difficult language to learn because it contains complex topics like constructors, null pointer exceptions, concurrency, checked exceptions, garbage collection thread,software development kit (sdk) as opposed simpler beginner-friendly languages like Python or Ruby.

Dart programming language

Dart is a programming language created by google designed for app development.it is an object oriented language that can be compiled to either native code or javascript.This language is beginner friendly compared to java.it is mostly used to create a frontend user interfaces for the web and mobile apps. The cons of this language is that, it is Strongly Typed. Since Dart is a compiled language so you cannot execute your code directly; instead, the compiler parses it and transfer it into machine code.

HTML/CSS/JavaScript

Android apps can also be developed with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through the Adobe PhoneGap framework, which is powered by Apache Cordova. The PhoneGap framework essentially allows the usage of web development skills to create hybrid apps, which are displayed through “WebView” but remain packaged like a standard Android app.
