How can I make a simple SMS messaging app to test how communication works?

[DaiGurenMK42]

Hello. I am super new to programming apps. I have previous basic C++, VHDL and HTML/CSS/JS experience. I want to practice a project. Sending an SMS and figuring out how communication works intrigued me. But I have no clue where to start. And I really do not want to program in Java.

1. Is there a way to program in Python or any other language to make an SMS app?
2. Can I use Android Studio for other languages?
3. Can Unreal be used for game making? Or what's better?
4. Where can I find libraries? I see posts on the sub showing off new libraries. But I don't even know where to find the basic ones.
5. Is there a proper up-to date guide for the entire process of app making and testing? I couldn't find new stuff for android 7.

Thank you. Super sorry for noob questions. I didn't know where to ask on how to get started.

But it's in Python.

learn c# its not much different than vb then use xarmin to create android apps. Just for a note all you are doing in an app is sending data to the android os Ali which would handle the rest. So all you're learning is how to send a message via an api rather than how it actually works.
