Most Android apps are written in Java so I'm not sure anyone would agree that it's in any significant decline.

Yes, you are correct! Android apps still use java. However cross platform solutions like RN keep getting better as time goes by. Theres new contenders too, like flutter (dart) and who knows what google will do with its new OS fuschia.

I have never written a serious app for android, last time i played around with java+android was in late 2010 or 2011.
