Android App

Hi everyone I am developing a newspaper sharing site using HTML/CSS/JavaScript and jQuery, and I want also make it into an Android app, but Android tutorials say one must know java for that. My question is can't an Android app developed without java? I am prepared to start learning java but I was thinking that let me ask first maybe there is an easier way. I have just begun to understand JavaScript recently and to immediately start learning java seems a tall order.

Treehouse just released a course on Kotlin, which can be used for Android development. From all that I have seen it has many similarities with Swift.

Since you know HTML, CSS and JavaScript, you might want to try creating an app with Cordova or Ionic.
