Please what do I need to kickoff? What programming skills do I need? What learning materials would you recommend (videos,ebooks,etc)?

you need a good computer system @least 10GB RAM to enable you install android studio,download kotlin or java programming language or ebooks on programming tutorial on android. i believe that will go along way to help if you already have programming idea.

10 GB RAM ? My system is just 4GB.

Android kits

Not necessarily system of 10g ram...with 2g ram system you can learn it[color=#990000][/color]

10gb kilode

Since u have a 4gb laptop, u re very much good to go
For programming skills, u can learn Java or Kotlin , for Android apps..... N for iOS u can learn swift

go with 4GB RAM and see how slow your system will be! i know Nigerians don't read software specification before use! go ahead for don't cry later for android studio running slow.

Android studio sucks.

6gb Ram
core i5 2.4GHz quad core

And it's fu**ing slow.
You need a mad system to get any reasonable result.

That gradle sh*t is another issue.

If I would recommend, it would be
12gb ram DDR4
3Ghz 5th gen core i5 and above
An SSD would be of great help

Hey there. I'm so glad you're interested in learning how to write android apps!

First off, I was using a laptop of 4gb, Intel Pentium and 500gb internal memory. I was able to write code for android using this. Android development over the years have evolved that with JavaScript, C#, java, you can now write android apps. After my laptop crashed due to hard disk problem, I switched to a core i5 7th gen, 8gb ram and 1tb. They were both able to serve me well.

I'd recommend Flutter because you can write your code in vscode as well as the fact that it's from Google themselves. The installation of android studio is needed though but you'd hardly ever use it.

To start, you'd need to visit flutter.io then you'd need to install android studio, vscode, download the flutter SDK.

Kindly head on to flutter.io to learn and read about how to get started. Once you have the tools up and ready, you can head on to udacity to watch their flutter tutorials.

You can pm me for more details as well as for a link to download some high grade videos.

Good luck and wishing you the best, hopefully I'd start the flutter community here on nairaland soon if it doesn't exist yet.

Hello bro, I'll like to learn more about flutter. Can you throw more light, please

Definitely, I already listed some of the features there as well as majority of the things it can do.

You can build for iOS and Android at the same time.
Head to their website to learn more.

Alright bro. Thanks. I already signed up for an udacity course on flutter.

One more question: can I use flutter for both design and development, or it's just a UI framework for building cross-platform apps?

Flutter is a dart framework so functionalities are basically dart.

A basic knowledge of coding would get you started.

They're not the same. Can you check flutter.io?

you need a pc minimum requirement of core i3, 4gb Ram so your android studio can run smoothly, then i would advice you to learn dart programming language through which you can explore flutter famework which you can easily use a single source code to deploy for IOs and android

I recently got to start with Android Studio,so much data used but I also had to uninstall it since I had a problem with it(a white box keeps appearing over my text when I’m typing)...since I can use vscode for flutter,I’ll like to consider it . Would I need to install Android Studio again and would learning dart be a smooth ride, I have basic Java knowledge

Since you have a basic java knowledge, you're good to go.

Head on to their website, flutter.io to get started. Select VSCode

You need android studio though because flutter depends on some things on android studio.

I think one can use intelliJ IDE for flutter, based on what I read on the website

I have very basic knowledge, I mean very little basic knowledge. I used old crap PC, 3GB Ram. Dell . 32 bit .
I do what I think I can do for now while I still learning advance coding.
Search on play store with name IGBDev to see basic sturf I got there.
