I’ve been thinking about writing my own workout logger that better fits my use and I’d like to hear some recommendations on what language or framework to use.

I don’t have any prior experience with mobile development nor with Java or Kotlin, and C++ I suspect would be needlessly low level for the features I’d like to include.

Features is like to include in the app is capability of recording video, playing video/audio, creating graphs and opening up in-app tabs. Fancy ui and animations is not of much importance.

Any recommendations on what languages to use and what libraries might be of interest to get going?

    If you’re already really comfortable with C, you could consider Java instead of Kotlin. The syntax is more similar, but Java doesn’t have as many features built into the language (and I imagine it’ll eventually be phased out anyways). You could try a sample project in each and see which one you prefer.
