Language considered for Android OS anti-virus

NoWarning

Lurker
Hello,
If any big brains are out there I need a few pointers to script/code a anti-virus in C++ on Windows then implement it into .APK for the Android OS. This is just a learning curve and a future project for me. At the moment I have little engineering skills but never the less I am open minded so any tips will be much appreciated.
 
To start with, you'll need to become familiar with Java.
But I'm curious, what would your anti-virus app be doing? The main vulnerabilities with Android are through installation of untrusted, possibly malicious apps. If you install apps via the Google Play Store, the risk of infection is pretty low.
An anti-virus app developed for Windows couldn't be ported to Android, they are completely different operating systems.
