Yes but there's a lot of efforts from Google to support the language as well since now it's the new Android language.
- pjmlp 8y agoAndroid supports Java, Kotlin and C++. Kotlin is just one option more, and the tooling is still not mature as Java. Specially in compile speed, incremental compilation, debugging, speed in type completion, FFI.
- realusername 8y agoI would not put C++ with the other ones, unfortunately Android has a lot of API only available from Java.
- pjmlp 8y agoAgreed about the 2nd class status of C++, still that is the official message, about all three languages. https://developer.android.com/guide/components/fundamentals?hl=en https://developer.android.com/guide/components/fundamentals?... "Android apps can be written using Kotlin, Java, and C++ languages. "
