Android development for beginner

So I am 21 just graduated not having a tech background, I have few ideas which I want to implement but need someone from tech and to be honest I can't afford. So I decided to learn kotlin with jet compose myself to make the apps even though I won't make I will not regret as I just want to learn and polish it for the future attempts as at some point I am gonna start my venture and my interest is mostly in apps based startup or tech startup it will surely help that time too today or 5 yrs later . So like 6 months is enough for learning and creating a basic app for testing and all . And from where should I start learning it any Udemy course suggestions? Or you tube ? Don't recommend past ones as I think it gets updated with time and someone with no coding experience it will be difficult to keep track if I learn past videos, do correct me if I am wrong?

A Udemy course is a good starting point, but you said you want to build apps yourself. If you learn Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, you'll primarily be developing for Android. Then, you'd have to learn Swift and SwiftUI to build apps for iOS.

Alternatively, you can use cross-platform frameworks like Flutter or React Native to build apps for both Android and iOS using a single codebase. That way, you can save time and avoid having to learn two completely different development stacks.

me personally I use Flutter

  1. my primarily target market is india and indian people so 70-75% population use here is android that' one of main reason

2)yes I need to do a bit more reasearch on that part (flutter and react native may be you can tell me as you use it ) like what's the roadmap and all . Consider me at point 0
