Use Python to develop mobile applications

This is an English forum, if you don't know English you can use Google Translate:

I moved this to the Developers forum :)

Translated question:
Good Morning
I would like to know if I could use Python to develop mobile applications, because I would like to start with a language that does not stop being used as a java for discord with Oracle.

Buenos días
Me gustaría saber si podría usar Python para realizar desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles, debido a que me gustaría iniciar por un lenguaje que no se deje de usar como java por discordias con Oracle.

Google's issues with Oracle have nothing to do with java for android. There are 2 versions of Java... The proprietary Oracle JDK and the Open JDK. Open JDK is what's used in android, and due to its open source nature, it's not going anywhere. Android Studio comes pre-packaged with Open JDK.

Java is still the most used language for android app development followed by Kotlin which runs on a JVM like Java.

Now to answer your question, it does seem like you can use python for android apps. Here's a couple links to get you started...

Note:
I recommend java for android apps as its easier to get support when you're stuck on something by simply doing a google search. With python I doubt you'll find much support if any.
