The official language for Android development is Java. Large parts of Android are written in Java and its APIs are designed to be called primarily from Java.
Java is a programming language first released by Sun Microsystems back in 1995.
It can be found on many different types of devices from smartphones, to mainframe computers. You can use it on your desktop PC and even on the Raspberry Pi.
Java doesn’t compile to native processor code but rather it relies on a “virtual machine” which understands an intermediate format called Java bytecode.
Each platform that runs Java needs a virtual machine (VM) implementation.
On Android the original VM is called Dalvik. Google has also started previewing its next generation VM called ART. The job of these virtual machines is to interpret the bytecode, which is really just a set of instructions similar to the machine code found in CPUs, and execute the program on the processor. The VMs use a variety of technologies including just-in-time compilation (JIT) and ahead-of-time compilation (AOT) to speed up the processes.
First you need to have logical and analytical understanding.
Know how to Visualize a problem and convert it into real world solutions by easy possible ways.

Fragmets for reusability
Listeners like OnClick,Onswipe etc for making the events to happen

In terms of marketshare, Android is absolutely clobbering iOS with a whopping 85% of the global market in 2018. This growth is also accelerating as more people globally plug into the Internet for the first time. A mind boggling 1.3 million new Android devices are activated each day and the number of Android devices in the world now numbers in the billions.
With such astounding growth, there is naturally a great shortage of Android developers.
Fortunately for Android app developers, Google has put enormous resources in the last several years to improve the Android user experience and improving the quality of the Google Play store.
The growth and mobile operating system dominance of Android will continue for the foreseeable future. Android app development is currently the #4 most sought-after digital skill on Indeed, which means there are plenty of opportunity for freelance Android app developers. The money is also very good.At average,a simple mobile app for a client may not cost less than 50,000 Kenya shillings,ie if you meet a cheep developer.
