I am a PHP web software developer and want to start developing Android apps.

What software do I need and how do I start at least with a simple welcome page on Android?

This is quite important to me please as I need to move on to the next stage of software development in my programming career.

Thanks all.

depending on app you want to create... Java script might be enough. Just get the app maker

I don't know what app development tool to use.

I'm ok with JavaScript. Please advise.

Bro, are you seriously kidding me

Is that the recommended Android IDE used for Building Apps?

Depending on your system..Download the Whole package with SDK tools,
Don't forget to Download Java Runtime Environment kit tool (JDK.1.8

The official IDE for android app development is Android studio.
In other for you to start developing android apps you need core Java programming skill and a little bit of XML or any other markup language.
These are the basic requirements. And for the steps, it really depends on what you want to build

Thanks a lot.
Do you mean I CANNOT develop Android apps except I code in Java too? I thought there are other platforms where pure JavaScript is just the basics you need ...

Yes, there are other platforms you can use like JavaScript as you have pointed out, c/c++, swift, HTML5, BASiC etc. Just use what works best for you.

1. Cordova/phogape ( uses HTML5,CSS and JavaScript)
2.unity 3d (uses C#)
3. MIT App inventor. (uses blocks) I've been using this IDE for a while now because of its simplicity. It uses blocks and does not require any programming skill. You literally just drag and drop stuff to build your app.
4. Xamarin (uses c#)
5. NativeScript (uses JavaScript CSS and XML)
There are still others not listed here but this are the ones I can remember.

Yesso.
Discovered the MIT app inventor of recent and d drag and drop is amazing.

I also think I will try the NativeScript and Cordova/pho gape. I hope they are downloadable software unlike the MIT app inventor that is online.

Thanks as I await your response.

Sure, they can be used offline, but don't know about NativeScript cause I've never used it before.

Thanks Weirdberg1.
I also had problem publishing my app on playstore. I was to pay $20 but the site keep rejecting my card. I was wandering what the problem could be. I even used a card that I often use to buy things online. It was same all along.

Waiting to hear from you please.

Ever since the economic crisis in the country online transactions outside the country is a whole different story. Your card rejection is as a result of your bank policy. You should call your bank for help.

MIT APP Inventor also has standalone offline server and emulator you can use to develop apps just the same way you do online. Google it, you can find it on sourceforge

if I use MIT..can I publish it on play store?
