short question, is there a free mobile app template available? I’m very new to this so I don’t know much. I hear react native is the most common? If it is any consultation, I’m looking for a picture sharing format like iFunny.
Thanks!
In android studio, there are a few templates for new activities/fragments. If you're looking for something that you can download and just change a few variables, it will probably take you longer/be more confusing than actually learning to program an app.
Each app has their native source code. For android it is java/kotlin, and iOS it is swift. React native is a framework to create your apps for both platforms at the same time(ish). Programming in the native languages vs using React has their own pros/cons, so it's up to you what you want to do.
If you are adamant on using a template, then a simple google of 'react native app templates' will probably be what you are looking for.
I personally recommend going the honest route and learning to program your app, it's not too difficult, and you will learn a lot!

Is there a framework out there that allows for the same UI code to give a web app, an iOS app (preferably native), and and Android app (preferably native)? I know there is Angular 2 with Ionic 2 but the mobile apps made this don't look as native as I'd like. Are there any other options that accomplish this?
I'm not looking to only reuse business logic between the different apps, but reuse the actual UI code too to minimize doubling up of coding effort. As I understand this would rule out React Native because UI code for the web apps and mobile apps will be separate.
Thanks! :)
Have you tried Firebase? http://firebase.google.com You have most of your backend needs covered and the web is full of examples for native iOS, Android and web (Angular or other)

As an intermediate-level programmer of C++ (that have been working on C++ for console apps and used only FLTK for GUI apps), I heard much about Qt5 to be suitable and very powerful for creating apps for many platforms such as Windows, Linux, iOS and also Android.
I'm now a novice on Qt and to create apps for PC, I'm going to start reading this book (which is of Qt4).
But I, too, like to start reading a good book on Qt5 that makes me able to create apps for iOS and Android. Is there such a good book?
Any suggestion is fully appreciated.
This book will give you common sense about Qt, but keep in mind that there's a lot of difference between Qt4 and Qt5 (most important that Qt5 improves QtQuick module). To build your iOS or Android app I suggest you will need look deep inside of QtQuick. This book will help you a bit.

I have some experience in Python and know that Kivy is a good platform to create python android apps. Though as side hobby, I am learning c#/unity for indie game development, I know unity is good for developing android game, but let's say I want to build a weather app on android, does unity have the capability to allow developers to do so?
Yes, Unity has the capability to create non-game applications for Android (and iOS). However, I would highly discourage it. Using Unity for non-game development is like building a house out of sheet metal. While it can be done, it's not the right tool for the job and anyone who sees it can tell.

I was wondering that Clash of Clans, Candy Crush etc. are they being developed in Android Studio? Since i haven't seen any tutorials, i am kind of stuck at game development. iOS provides SpriteKit and its really useful. I couldn't find anything related to android game development.
Thanks in advance
Please note that game development for Android has various paths.
I will try to present some of them:
1) The most powerful tool for creating game is Unity Game Engine.
It gives enormous options for crating game (in C# and JavaScript).
What is interesting, you can create game for many platforms in Unity like Android, iOS, Windows Phone (there are 24 platforms that can run Unity Games!!!)
Please see this link:
https://unity3d.com/unity
2) Another option for creating games (but poorer that Unity) is Scirra
Construct 2.
That one is interesting because you dont have to know any programming language.
Creating games is based on instructions (which are converted to html after creating the game).
You can try it for free here:
https://www.scirra.com/
3) You can also try KiloBolt tool for creating simple Android games.
You can write natively in Java.
Description and tutorials you can find here:
http://www.kilobolt.com/game-development-tutorial.html
I hope that helped you.

This might sound like a duplicate question but trust me its not.
I have an Android app. It contains WebView to display webpages. Now I am planning to go live with the app on ios too. Now having two different codes and maintaining them is a difficult task.
Is there a way I can develop app in both the platforms with minimum maintenance issues. With minimum maintenance I mean more reusable code that can be use on both the platforms.
I have heard that it can be done using Chromium Project but am unable to find supporting docs for the same on internet.
Any suggestions?? or reference materials??
For what I know there is no way you could use your Java code and the XML files (including your WebView) in IOS application. the language/platform are different.
What you could do is to develop a web application that looks as a mobile application for example using JQueryMobile and the export it using the already suggested PhoneGap framework to any platform you would like.
You should try one of the several frameworks out there, being PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com) an interesting option.
