To become an Android developer … just be curious and have a mental attitude to consistently learn new things on the go since Android belongs to Google and they do keep their developers with edge of seat experience year after year in Google I/O Event :
with new updates and technologies that encompasses not only in Android mobile but for Automation , Machine Learning etc etc .
To start with , make sure you are well versed with Java or Kotlin (Yes !!! Kotlin is official language for Android development as announced in 2017 Google I/O keynote ) . There are other ways also for developing Android apps like using Xamarin , Phonegap , C++ , C# et cetera , et cetera … Make your choice … Well I started with Java and now learning Kotlin .
Once you have firm grasp with any of language by you can download Android Studio from
