Hi all,
I never understood tablet and phone apps market. But, through recent exposure at work, my interest has gone up a notch.
If I want to develop some app for iPad and iPhone, then I would start learning Swift. It's new, and there may be opportunity for apps and jobs for early adopters.
What do I learn, if I want to develop Android apps? Can I use C, and more importantly, is there C SDK for Android?
My impression was that iOS used ObjC and Android used Java (with C or C++ native libraries in some cases, although that can cause issues for none arm android devices, or even systems with different generations of arm I believe.). Maybe my understanding is about half a decade out of date though. There is certainly no C SDK for Android. Not going to happen. All you can do is put your C code in a library and then call that from your java frontend gui. -- Len Sorensen
