Starting with Android: Java or Python (SL4A)

Question

I just ordered an Android smartphone and want to start playing around with creating my own applications. Now the question is which language to use, the native Java or Python usi

Answer 1

More likely will depend what type of applications you will develop.

I would start with Java to become familiar with Android SDK. Anyway first you need to look into some examples, tutorials. Most of them are done in Java, and only a few, probably on the dev site of SL4A for that.

Also there is native development Android NDK, that can be programmed with C++.

But anyway Java rules for general applications.
