Which is better for Android development, Android studio or Visual studio? And can I use c++ to make Apps in visual studio?

Question

I just realized that I can make Apps using visual studio 2019 and I use Android studio for Android development and it's a little harder. And I wanna write my codes in c++. So I want to know which is better and easier to use for Android development. And I also want to know if I can develop apps using c++. Thanks for all your answers

Nice question buddy!

Android apps are native to Java.
Android Studio uses completely Java based code to work.
I have used Android studio for a while, and I realised that the code part is easy, but the main problem arises in the UI part, resourses part and permissions.

So I switched to Flutter.
1. Its a framework designed by Google itself.
2. Its open source. That is it receives updates frequently, bugs are fixed sooner, larger community.
2. Unlike Android Studio, it does not have separate section for backend and frontend. So, there is same section - Code section.
3. Its also cross platform. That is, same code can be used for Android, iOS, Windows, etc.
4. Apps made are self-adjusting. They can adjust according to the OS they are run on.
5. It uses Dart Programming Language. Its similar to Java and C++.
