I have problem. I decided create cross-platform app, simple game. But I don't know how to start. What to choose Xamarin.Forms or Xamarin.Native? Xamarin.Forms is only for business apps or we can create game on this?
Xamarin uses the Mono engine which is also used by Unity. I would recommend you to create your game in Unity with Visual Studio Community to do the code parts.
Xamarin is more for apps and not so much games. You'll be more productive choosing Unity.

We are a video game developing comapny that uses Unreal Engine 4 to develop games.
We have a client who has an application under development for both Android and the iOS on their own (we did are not the ones developing it for them). They are developing their application using React-Native.
We would like to develop a game for them using Unreal Engine 4. But, we would like it to be integrated into their application.
Is there a way to integrate a packaged game (Unreal Engine 4) apk into an application that is developed using React-Native?
Thank you
Unreal.js and Unreal-UMG seems the best fit for your needs. I had written Unreal.js in ncsoft and it is being maintained by my former colleagues on ncsoft.
Unreal-UMG lets you write UI logic with React and the rendering is being delivered by Unreal slate subsystem (All the features of UE are accessible).
If you are wondering about producing and releasing games built on unreal.js to the real market, it might be worth to watch this Video (although the vid is dubbed in Korean)
I think you can use the React-UMG module to a similar approach.
It's something related to unreal engine itself, as said here
And, you can use Unreal.js to something like this
We are using BlueJ to develop simple apps in my an intro class for students.
I would like to effectively develop a basic Android app in BlueJ. Is this possible?
BlueJ is an IDE. So its just an editor. That means it would be possible, combined with the Android SDK- but practically it would probably be more painful than using Android Studio, where all the tools are built in. Please note that there are significant differences between an Android app and a Java app in the UI and the lifecycle of the application. So it isn't just taking a desktop app and compiling it for Android.
Bluej is just an IDE. It is generally used by beginners to write simple programs. If you want to develop Android apps I would suggest you to use Android studio as all the functions and tools are pre-built in the application. You just need to have basic Java knowledge and XML understanding to write the code. If you want to to develop an application without any coding knowledge then I would suggest you to use thunkables or MIT App inventor. Using any of these you just need to develop your own logic and create an awesome app without coding.
I'm new to Android Mobile Apps Development. Now I'm interest to develop a M-Commerce App. But I don't have any idea how to start where to learn. can anyone suggest me where can I study M-Commerce for Android development? Is it easy to develop? what are all the language I need to know to develop M-commerce? How long it takes to complete?
I don't have deep knowledge about E-Commerce/M-Commerce app development. But here's a thing that can get you started:
To start with Android development follow the official docs. Follow the link: https://developer.android.com/training/index.html
There are various tutorial on Android development all over YouTube that can help you a lot.
You need to learn JAVA. JAVA basics are must to start with android development.
Don't directly jump for high level programming just like game development or M-Commerce app . Start with basic app and slowly progress in different parts of android development.
If you are looking forward for cross platform development then take a look at C# language and develop app in Visual Studio or Xamarin.
I want start develop games on Android.
I'm yet an android app developer but I never develop a game.
Can you help me for understand how start. It is better to use an external development suite like Unity 3d or is possibile to develop games just with Android Studio and SDK like the normal apps?
The game I want to develop is simple, just a sprite and a backgroud. The sprite can move and jump.
Thank you
I would highly recommend using libgdx for android game development even more so if you are planning to transfer your game to ios too in the future. You can find great tutorials on the internet for libgdx. If I was you i'd check out udacity's libgdx tutorial.
Cheers!
Check the LibGdx on oficial page. People can do awesome thinks with this library. Do you know Ingress? This game was make in LibGDX
Check the official page
https://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/
also look at projects

you have docs:

and the rich forum. Enjoy
I saw this sometime ago and wanted to check if anyone with experience doing cross-platform Application using Adobe AIR. I have seen their LVVM compiler with AOT and Android runtime.
Say I need to create the same application for iOS and Android, is this recommended? Are they any limiation that I don't aware yet? Can they access to respective's native API? Are things like Animation h/w accelerated? Any performance penalty?
It really depend on the application that you want to build. Adobe Air is more focus on game development, but not saying it can't be used for application usage. Plus there are some cool native plug-in which can boost up your application. I suggest to understand your project requirement and have a checklist against Adobe air, then decide to implement or not.
Have a read the following review by Cnet about this product.

You can create IOS and android application Using PhoneGap.
