Android app development is a pivotal aspect of mobile app development as any created app must run smoothly on not only iOS but also Android devices. The world is increasing its consumption of smartphones and along with it the consumption of mobile apps.

This makes it crucial for developers to architect robust apps in a leaner timeframe that can serve the audience well and grasp their attention. For this, the selection of the right development language is a key driver behind bringing an app to fruition. With so many different development languages taking the market by storm, it is hard to decipher which language will make the app development process for Android devices more seamless.

Thus, to shed some light and bring some clarity, we share with you the top 4 best Android app development languages of 2022.

  • Java: If we take a peek at many of the apps on Playstore, a lot of them have been made using Java. This is also partly due to Java being the official development language for Android until it got replaced by Kotlin. Java has a massive online community which any developer can lean on for support when they experience hiccups. Due to being proactively supported by Google, one can create extremely elegant and complex apps using the language.
  • Kotlin: A cross-platform app development language, Kotlin has been declared by Google to be the official Android app development language in 2019 and a great alternative to Java. Unlike Java, Kotlin has eliminated and eased up some of the unnecessary steps and processes in app development. For instance, you no longer have to end every line with a semicolon.
  • C++: Less flexible and much more difficult to set up, C++ is an Android app development language for the brave-hearted. Being a native app development language, it must be used with a Native Development Kit (NDK) since an app cannot be solely created using C++.
  • C#: C# is very similar to Java in the sense that it too implements garbage collection so there are fewer chances of data breaches and memory leaks. A novice in app development will find C# easier to understand and use than Java as it has a cleaner and easier syntax to facilitate seamless coding.

Conclusion:

All of these app development languages are great in their own space and can help create robust mobile apps for Android. If you hire dedicated Android developers for your app development, you will be sure to see fruitful results in your mobile app.
