WHY DEVELOP FOR ANDROID?
The first question that every developer is asking himself, before learning, or take training about new technology or spending a time to search a resources is why develop for Android? Why Android platforms and not any other platforms? I'm going to show you the answer of this question into those reasons in this Blog.
From Developer perspective
ANDROID MARKET SHARE
- The number of Android phones sold every day is larger than that of any other mobile phone operating system (at least in the United States and Europe). Moreover the number of Android phones sold in those regions keeps growing, so after applying some simplest math skills, it becomes evident that unless something extraordinary happens we can clearly say that Android is the platform that's going to have the most users in the future, maybe it will even become a standard for all phones. And that means that you will have more people who can buy or use your product also more developer for Android OS.

- JAVA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
Apple products, like the iPhone, use Objective C (all developer talk is complicated language when compares it with other common language) that was invented by Apple. However if you want to develop apps for Android the only thing that you need to know is Java and Android API for Java. Unlike Objective C, Java is a very powerful programming language that has been around for 15 years and thus has millions of pages of articles about it, tutorials, books, courses, learning materials, also very powerful integrated with oracle products etc. As well as a lot of professionals who have experience working with Java and a lot of libraries and other kinds of enhancements. And besides that - the experience that you get from programming for Android you might also use in a lot of other fields.
Remember : Java is the android programming language which needs it to build our applications .
