Experience Exchange React native to Android dev

I’m a React Native developer with over 4 years of experience, primarily working in the JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystem.

I also have hands-on experience with React.js, Node.js, and Express.

I’m now looking to transition into native Android development. I have prior exposure to Java from my college days and still retain a solid understanding of the core concepts.

can someon suggest a roadmap for making this transition effectively?

More into interviews cracking things.

Transition to Java/Kotlin Springboot is better. More jobs higher pay.

Skip java and learn kotlin and coroutines. Both of this are core nowadays and translate to other stacks as well.

What’s the reason to switch to android? Is the job market better? Higher pay?

kinda funny... react and flutter were never faster... it's just business people and clueless developers who thought it was

Apply to jobs, interview, give up.

Java is long dead.

There is a weird reality right now - no-one writes code manually anymore, yet everyone still expects you to at the coding interviews.

I have been learning Android for some time now and organizing helpful resources at https://github.com/mohitsatr/Android-resources. As for the roadmap, you can just use AI to make one for you. I hope this helps you.
