Top Programming Languages for Android App Development


Top Programming Languages for Android App Development



1-Java

Java is the official language for Android App Development and consequently, it is the most used language as well. Many of the apps in the Play Store are built with Java and it is also the most supported language by Google. In addition to all this, Java has a great online community for support in case of any problems (And trust me, there will be problems!). However, Java is a complicated language for a beginner to use as it contains complex topics like constructors, null pointer exceptions, concurrency, checked exceptions, etc. Also, The Android Software Development Kit(SDK) increases the complexity to a new level!
All in all, Java is a great language to experience the full joys of Android App Development. However, it may be a little complex with beginners who would prefer to start with something easier and then return to it.

2-Kotlin

Kotlin is a cross-platform programming language that may be used as an alternative to Java for Android App Development. It has also been introduced as a secondary “official” Java language in 2017. Kotlin can inter-operate with Java and it runs on the Java Virtual Machine. The only sizable difference is that Kotlin removes the superfluous features of Java such as null pointer exceptions. It also removes the necessity of ending every line with a semicolon. In short, Kotlin is much simpler for beginners to try as compared to Java and it can also be used as an “entry point” for Android App Development.

3-Flutter

Android and Flutter, both are the babies of Google. One company managing both the native and cross-platform mobile application development for Android apps.
 Flutter is an open-source, multi-platform mobile SDK which can be used to build iOS and Android apps with the same source code. Companies are looking for options to develop apps within a short time and with limited budget. Native mobile app development for iOS or Android always requires two different tech stacks, which results in two different teams and higher cost. This is the reason why companies started looking for cross-platform solutions. The popularity of the React-Native framework is one of the examples of this fact.

4-C++

It’s fair to say that most people reading this should not choose this route to develop Android apps. Android Studio offers support for C/C++ code using the Android NDK (Native Development Kit). This means you’ll be writing code that doesn’t run on the Java Virtual Machine, but rather runs natively on the device and gives you more control over things like memory allocation.

5-LUA (Corona)

Corona offers another considerably simpler option for developing Android apps, while still giving you a fair amount of power and control. You’ll be coding in LUA which is already much simpler than Java. And the Corona SDK (Software Development Kit) will make things even easier. It supports all native libraries and allows you to publish to multiple platforms. It is largely used for creating games but can be used in a variety of other ways too. You’ll need to use a text editor like Notepad++ to enter your code and you can run said code on an emulator without even needing to compile first. When you’re ready to create an APK and deploy, you’ll be able to do this using an online tool.

ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE  IN  DIGITAL MARKETING Artificial Intelligence has transformed the digital landscape, such as Google’s Rank Brain personalising recommendations by Amazon. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming essential in the day-to-day happenings of the digital world, with marketing and advertising being no exception.  AI can easily identify marketing trends and  can provide  better   options  to buyers. Nowadays  brands and marketers  are incorporating   machine  learning  and  deep learning   to enhance  purchase options for customers. Amazon , Google, Microsoft, Spotify etc  rely heavily  on AI and machine  learning.  We See Artificial Intelligence in Marketing Today 1. Search Engines Google and Bing have been using AI for years. In 2015, Google announced Rank Brain, which uses machine learning to provide more relevant search results.  You can get a lot  of   results  for   misspelled  words. 2. Content Strategy and Crea

AGILE VS. SCRUM: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

AGILE VS. SCRUM: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? There are many different methodologies for software development , and each is best suited to different types of projects. Two of the most common (and often conflated) approaches to project management are Agile and Scrum. They are very  similar in  nature and  it’s easy to understand why they can sometimes be confused, but they are, in fact, two distinct concepts. Here’s a look at what Scrum and Agile mean in project management, how they are different from one another, and how to choose the right approach for your  project. What is Agile Project Management? Agile software development refers to a group of software development methodologies based on iterative development.The goal of the Agile approach is to create early, measurable ROI through defined, iterative delivery of product features.Due to the iterative nature of Agile approaches, continuous involvement with the client is necessary to ensure that the expectations are aligned and to allow the
