I've recently started using groovy as an alternative to Java and I would like to develop Android apps in groovy. All the examples I have investigated seem to be quite old.
So I was wondering if it is possible to develop Android apps in groovy?
It's a great idea, and it's been tried with partial success - there was a project called DiscoBot that had things partially working - see http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/groovy-grails/groovy-android
However, it's a difficult proposition though, both because of the size of the Groovy runtime, and because much of what Groovy does to implement a dynamic language is not fully supported by the Dalvik VM.
That said, it is being worked on.
I'm guessing that the reason that you got some 'close' votes here is because you could have found all of this information for yourself with a quick search in your favorite web search engine.

I searched for this question here and there are lots of answers, but they are all outdated. I googled it and saw answers but I'm curious about your personal experience in learnin android development. So where do I need to start and what should I learn to become Junior Android Developer?
The first step should be learning Kotlin. For that, I'd recommend enroll the Kotlin Developer course on Jetbrains Academy
https://hyperskill.org
Then you can get a taste of android with this free course on Udacity.

The complete roadmap which you can follow
https://github.com/MindorksOpenSource/android-developer-roadmap
You'll find various tutorials on YouTube for every stage in this roadmap. You can even follow Google's Codelabs for various topics.
Think of building something like Instagram/Whatsapp clone. You'll learn a lot while building something on your own.

I started learning kotlin , but as I had good work experience in making android application in java language.So i want to use my native java experience with Kotlin.So I had some queries:
If we used some of the files in Kotlin language and some in java?
Short answer yes you can.
If we used some of the files in Kotlin language and some in java?
You can use both java and Kotlin in a single class file.
Does it affect at the time of uploading in playstore?
No
Best way or tutorial to learn kotlin?
https://kotlinlang.org/
Kotlin for android developers ebook
I had also tried flutter but as I don't have much knowledge of dart language.So I switch towards kotlin. Let me know I am right or wrong?
Yes, you are. However you can also play with Flutter besides Kotlin. Its pretty cool.

I asked this question in Android Enthusiasts but I don't know if that is the correct place to ask. I'm looking to build a simple application that I'd like to post to Play Store.
However, my programming knowledge is limited to VB6, VB.net, VBA - primarily VB6. After doing some brief research it looks like I might not be able to build it in VB, but would C# work? Any advice?
Start with learning Java first since all Android applications are Java based. After that, you can start learning to create applications on Android Studio.

First of all I'm focused on iOS but but I've done ~2 apps for android in Java and it was horrible. I can't explain it why. Was it Java or Android itself but I hate it so much that when now I have to write another app for Android so I'm looking every option for me. This is what I found:
Kotlin - people said this is "Swift for android" but I still stuck with Android libraries.
Silver - "you can use Swift to write code directly against the .NET, Java, Android and Cocoa APIs. And you can also share a lot of non-UI code between platforms." But at this moment I've trouble with download it.
What's your opinion in this matter?
Do you have any experience with those two solutions?
As far as I know, there is no way to write apps for iOS and directly port them to Android.
What you can do is develop the bulk of the app in C++, while having calls to the GUI through JNI java functions.
With that being said, Android isn't scary at all, just face it straight on and you can do it.

I've just recently(today...) found out about phonegap.
I went through all the FAQ's and I think it's a great solution for those who wish to build an app using things they already know like HTML and CSS instead of learning a new API
but...
if I'm trying to build something that requires more efficient work and stablity, I think i'm better off developing with eclipse and using the standard ADT and not the framework phonegap are offering.
Am I right or maybe just a bit prejudice?
I wanna be sure before I start
First of all, it depends of what you want to develop. Developing with phonegap can be faster and you don't have to learn java for the development, but you have to consider that mobile JavaScript capabilities are bad and the app won't work smooth(espessialy the transitions and animations). If you go Native, you will spend more time learning, but at the end you will get an app that will run faster, smoother and with best performance. In you case i would definitely go Native.
