Would writing an Android stock portfolio display app in Clojure be a good learning exercise? I’m totally new to Clojure. My impression is that the functional programming style of Clojure might be better suited for other applications and platforms. For example, I can’t find a Clojure based open source project to start from. It looks like I should call a Java charting library such as GraphView and look to port a Java open source stock graphing project?

Writing android apps in clojure isn’t straightforward, although there are some people working on fixing that (GSOC I think), so you’d learn how hard it is 🙂
If you want to learn clojure, you better start with something which does not involve android.
If you want to learn android, you better start doing so in java.
