Hi all,
I am a hobbyist programmer. VB.Net, Python, Autoit & Lua are the languages i know. (I hate {}s. so i decided to learn languages which don't have {}s). Now i would like to learn android develeping. My brother baught a smart phone. So planning to make an app and test in his phone. But i don't know i can make android apps from windows PC. I have google a lot and found two SDKs. One is Corona and other is Android Studio. Corona uses Lua but it is not free. Since i am a hobbyist, i don't want to spend money on it. I don't know which language is used in Android Studio. Anyway, i am seeking proper guidance and advices. Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Android Studio uses Java. You can use Xamarin on Windows, but I think that uses C#, and may not be free.

Solution 2

Visual Studio 2015 can help you deploy, build and test Android apps - Link[^].
The problem is licensing is needed with Xamarin.

Traditionally, you can use Visual Studio to build Windows phone apps.
