It took me a month. About 10 years back when Android just introduced "Fragments". Didn't know Java. I did know C from college and learned PHP in 1 day through work.
We basically had to turn a mobile web design into a full app for a paid client. Somehow my manager had a lot of faith in me actually doing it when nobody else (including me) did. So under the pressure, I picked it up enough to build something of commercial value.
Things have become substantially more complicated since then. Back then, it was about wrestling with the IDE, Java, XML, SQLite, tablet designs. Today, it would be wrestling with architecture, tests, nested UIs, reactive programming, and most examples and tutorials being out of date in some weird way.
I do teach bootcamps and expensive week-long training modules, so feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions or need help with hiring. It's on the bucket list to actually write a good starter guide to native Android, just something I've put off for a while.
Also here's a really good (free) course for Android though, probably better than most of those: https://www.udacity.com/course/developing-android-apps-with-kotlin--ud9012 https://www.udacity.com/course/developing-android-apps-with-...
