Which programming languages can be used to develop in Android?

回答1:

Here's a list of languages that can be used to develop on android:

  • Java - primary android development language

  • Kotlin, language from JetBrains which received first-party support from Google, announced in Google I/O 2017

  • C++ - NDK for libraries, not apps

  • Python, bash, et. al. - Via the Scripting Environment

  • Corona- One is to use the Corona SDK . Corona is a high level SDK built on the Lua programming language. Lua is much simpler to learn than Java and the SDK takes away a lot of the pain in developing Android app.

  • Cordova - which uses HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, and can be extended with Java

  • Xamarin technology - that uses c# and in which mono is used for that. Here MonoTouch and Mono for Android are cross-platform implementations of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and Common Language Specifications.

As for your second question: android is highly dependent on it's java architecture, I find it unlikely that there will be other primary development languages available any time soon. However, there's no particular reason why someone couldn't implement another language in Java (something like Jython) and use that. However, that surely won't be easier or as performant as just writing the code in Java.
