Android app development could be defined as the process of developing apps for android based mobile devices. We use the Android Studio IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) for developing Android Apps. Java and Kotlin languages are used for building native android apps. Learn more about the difference between native and cross platform Android Development. Gradle is used as a build configuration tool to automate the build process.
