Re: Android coding and editors?
Hello,
I see that noone answers, so I decided to give my humble 5 cents on that, though I am pretty new in the field.
Well, Android Studio is pretty accessible now with NVDA. Maybe a little slow and huge, but it makes a good amount of background work for you when assembling the project, imports some necessary libraries etc. Eclipse had a plugin for writing Android apps, but it seems not to work anymore.
A good thing about Android studio is its way of making the app interface, being done in xml. You can use Java for it too, but as you imagine it is a lot slower than editing your interface parameters into a .xml file.
When it comes to languages used, Kotlin has recently been introduced as an alternative, and it seems to be getting more and more popular alternative to Java. Android Studio supports it, supports converting Java code into the Kotlin code and vice versa as well as using both of them together, but I don't know how it works exactly as I am not as familiar with Kotlin. Maybe you can explore this option too rather than sticking to Java.
The reference is good and explains things very well, both for Kotlin and for Java. The documentation covers all the Android specific libraries.

Hope this helps, and sorry if my way of expressing these points is not quite professional as the fellow programmers are used to, I am still new in programming as I already said.
Best,
Miloš
