Yes, absolutely learn it. In the US Android developers make 130-170K per year [1]. You could get an awesome paying job, probably buy a house.

Wow, I didn't know android developers make that high, but what about make money just sending little apps, because I don't live in US and I don't think we have here that opportunities for developers. And I'm still studying so it would be just do apps and send to the store to get some extra money. But I'll keep in mind that its more powerful than I thought

I call BS on this. I want to see there sources for this! I've been developing for iOS since the beginning and I just recently started developing for Android as well to broaden my skill set and I have never made anything near that. 100K seems to be the top most companies want to pay.

That's exactly what I was thinking. And build an android app for all screens take time for those who doesn't work for a company, right?

Hmm, where are you located?

Maybe the OP refer to freelancing. I know some freelancers getting around that. I assume if you're good, you will get paid a lot.
