First of all, just because something is a programming language, doesn't mean you can use it everywhere. HTML5 is used to develop web pages. C# is used by microsoft to make some of their applications. The only programming language you can use to program an android app with is Java. Its really easy to learn and kinda fun. If you want to learn java you should take some classes or vistit http://www.learnjavaonline.org/ However you will need to have the Android sdk from here:

Answer 4

If you can learn java that will be easier to make apps for android but still you can create apps for android without learning JAVA.You just need to use Android app creating software which is very good for amateur who don't know any programming languages related android developing.



Suppose you want to create a car racing game for android,You need to run this software and design your road,cars etc for game.After submitting your design software will make the Java codes automatically. Then you just need to give command how should be your game,what should be the rules for your game.
