Android Studio (free) - allows programming in Java (I think there is C++ support option)

https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/android/
Visual Studio (trial) (with Xamarin) allows programming in C# or C++ for android development. It also has cross-platform functionality - so you can write your application and make it work over different phone operating systems!

I would highly recommend starting with Android Studio. It's free and there are a lot of guides and documentation out there to get started!

Check out this link: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html
This is an easy way to get started if you don't mind some reading.
