Ask HN: Should I learn to develop for android?

6 pointsby lorenzopicolialmost 12 years ago
I have some knowledge in iOS development and now I want to learn something else with it. I think I need more web languages like PHP, JavaScript... But on the other side it's cool to create an app with iOS and android versions. I also heard a lot of people saying that android doesn't worth time, it takes a lot of time creating the app and piracy is higher than iOS. So my question is, should I learn Java and then Android development or focus on something else(what?)?

Yes, absolutely learn it. In the US Android developers make 130-170K per year [1]. You could get an awesome paying job, probably buy a house.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.cio.com/slideshow/detail/112042?google_editors_picks=true#slide1" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cio.com&#x2F;slideshow&#x2F;detail&#x2F;112042?google_editors_pi...</a>

I think the best thing to do is find a project that would require all of the above. Something that you would find interesting that has a backend, web interface and phone component.
