Treehouse TeacherIndeed you can use React Native for Android! We would like to cover it in a workshop similar to Amit's at some point this year, but don't have a concrete timeline for it yet.

Treehouse TeacherI'm sorry I don't have a better answer for timing. It will be at least two months before we will have anything for React Native and Android, but it could be longer than that. We have a slate of priorities for the year that is fairly fixed for the next few months but much more fluid after that.
I'm not very familiar with React Native myself, but I know you can get to pretty complex apps. I'm not sure how lists in React map to Recycler Views, but that's not the goal, anyhow. The goal of React is to focus on the functionality in a cross-platform way. By that I mean, you decide where you want to use a list, and then the framework will take care of making that list work on both iOS and Android using whatever it needs to under the hood. It has hooks into many native features, which you can see Android Guides section of the React Native docs.
