I just looked at an android studio java course on youtube. Java for android is truly one, if not the most ridiculously complex languages there is. What takes just one click on a button in C++ and other IDE languages to setup a procedure, takes multiple steps and lines of code in android java. I was hoping to convert some good programs to android for android phones and tablets, but there is no way I am going to wade through the android java swamp to get it done. What was Google thinking when they chose java for android? I am sure that they think that their auto code line pop up choicess are really wonderful, instead of just making a simple click on a component generate the code automatically.
Shee! I'm out of here!

anyone (try that with Apple for example), you can download & install the
Android Studio development environment, where you can graphically &
programitically create your apps on your desktop & then immediately upload
your app APKs to your phone (or to any phone), in about an hour elapsed
time for your first "hello world" style Android programming app - from
start to finish.
Full source code for more than a dozen apps is already here for you:

Good luck.

Thank your lucky stars you're coding for Android and not iOS.

as i recall, that took you much longer than an hour.

look into kotlin.

Hi nospam,

Please read what I said, which I repeat, verbatim for you, since you always
seem to be unable to comprehend even the most basic of facts, nospam.

For once, nospam has suggested something that's correct, which is that
Kotlin works fine. <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=6380186apps15.jpg>
Also, in practice, a lot of the Android code is simple XML, e.g., most of
the GUI (if not all of it) ends up being XML that you graphically create
without having to code anything whatsoever.

Given a lot of Android coding is done with the mouse, I suspect the OP,
"anon", simply wants to vent, either as a troll, or because he can't spend
the time it takes to learn something different or new.
The good news is that, with Android, it's trivial to test your code on all
current versions of Android, without even owning a phone.

For example, if anyone needs it, I've tested EVERY freeware Android
emulation program that I could find, and wrote up a thread for each one on
how to install them, and what the pros and cons are.
Googling quickly for those tutorials, here are a couple of them that others
can use to test their Kotlin code on the desktop without needing an Android
device.
o Running Bluestacks4 Android 7.1.1 emulation

o How to run Andyroid Nougat 7.1 freeware emulator

o How to run Genymotion emulation

Where there are a score of programs I've provided in this tutorial:
