Need to know about Android Apps

Hello Rodinhooders,

I am thinking of developing a simple Android app. I am extremely new in this field and I would like to know about a few things.

1. Which programming/coding language is used to develop and Android app?

2. Once the code has been developed, where is it to be saved? I mean do I have to buy a server for the code? What will be the approx. server charges?

3. What are the security features which need to be added to the app?

4. The app I want to develop is a very simple price comparison app. No login/registration is required from the user. What would be the approx total cost of developing a basic price comparison app?

4. Is hiring a freelancer a good idea to get the app developed?

The questions might be very basic but I am extremely new to this field.

I would be very glad if any Android expert or even a person having knowledge of Android can help me out.
