Questions about android development?

Question

What languages do i need to learn in order to create a photo sharing app like instagram and how much time would the development take (including the time for learning the languages)?

Answer 1

You need Java and some XML to create the app.

Then you need to create a server that communicates with the app, stores images, etc. You can write that in PHP and some mySQL.



You do not need to learn all of Java, and you will only need a very basic grasp of the XML format in general. Android Studio provides a graphical editor anyway.

As for the backend, all you really need is a few basic database operations, and how to run them from PHP and deliver the result to the app as JSON.



How long will this take? Depending on the hours per week and how well you're "getting" how to program, anywhere from a few months to ten years.

Answer 2

Grab a copy of Livecode (the open source version) and you could possibly have something rough working within a day or two.



[Making it 100% perfect will take many months; in programming, the last 5% of the code takes around the last 95% of the overall time].





Livecode uses it's own near-English language [revolution] and your programs/apps can be built for any platform - iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux etc.



For a more complex but vastly more powerful system, get Marmalade.



With that, you work in C (C++) and have full access to the device graphics hardware etc., so you can do anything from simple apps up to full 3D games and animations.

Again you can select what to build you program for, you don't have to use different languages for different devices.

Answer 3

Probably about 3-5 years part time or 1-2 years full time for one person To learn the language and build and test and deploy for a simple photo sharing app. You will need to learn Java for the android app and a server language like PHP or C# or Python or Go or even Java, I guess, for the sharing and saving.

Answer 4

If you know the basis of JAVA then you can develop it within 1-2 months. Otherwise, You may need 6-8 months

Answer 5

You will need to learn:

Java (the most)

XML (Basic)



You will also need information about designing and database management.



If you work 10hours a day you will need nearly two months (with overtime sometimes) for making a good enough app.

Answer 6

Well if you're going to start learning from scratch then it will take I'd say 1-2 years. I'd recommend learning Java, PHP and SQL, JavaScript and maybe Visual C#

Answer 7

Dude..



I think SDI will be helpful



Visit sdi site and get consultation to dev the app
