Unity can create apps for Android but it can make them for many different platforms - so Android is just one of many for it. But as far as specifically Android programming - in Java and with Eclipse - is concerned I personally am not particularly interested in that any more and Unity is my new thing. But if you still want to talk about Android programming, there are other people who've replied to this thread that are still interested in it I think
Unity can create apps for android,as in,games,right?
Also,any specific reason for loosing interest in Java and Eclipse?
Yeah, it's a "game engine" for creating 3D and 2D games for pretty much any platform you can think of. You just create the program once, in C# (or Javascript), and then can build it for any platform out a massive list. It's very visual and requires a lot less code. I think it's amazing but I'm still new to it. I've got one game on my phone that was made with it - because it says "made with Unity" at the beginning so it is used for professional game development.
Don't get me started on Java and Eclipse. I like the Java language - which Android programming introduced me to - but Android development as a whole I find really unintuitve, laborious, and boring. It's hard to put it into words but it just doesn't seem very interrelated - you spend forever learning about one feature and it doesn't help you with anything else so you just don't feel like you're getting anywhere towards mastering it no matter how much you learn. So for that reason I could never become confident in it but Unity is different and I think I will be able to master it because it is so integrated.
