How to develop an Android application in C++?

Question

And so, I mastered the basic level of C ++ well and learned how to write some application with a graphical interface using SDL. I would like to know how it is possible to develop mobile applications using only C ++? For good, it would be worth learning Java, but if you can safely write in C ++, then why not.
I also know that with SDL this is possible.

If there are tutorials or materials for developing android applications in C++?

In general, what do you recommend learning about Android development?

Answer 1

It's probably possible. Just like you can hammer a screw into a wall. The question is if it's a good idea.

Answer 2

I don't do android development. So I can't really comment. I also can't say whether c++ is good or bad for it.
My point was a general one. At least once a week someone posts a question here of the form "how do you make android apps with x?" Usually x is Python or HTML. And I'm sure that in the overwhelming majority of cases these are people who would have learned a different language if they had taken more than five minutes to get informed before choosing a language. There are -- I assume -- good reasons to use other languages than the standards. But doubling down on a poor decision is not a good reason. So you have to ask yourself if that's the case with you. And if it is take the time to get informed about the options before making a choice.
