    Microsoft VSC is a great product that can be adapted for Android development, but it requires significantly more effort than using Android Studio.

    Chose PyCharm
    Simply one of the best IDE's of our time. It has a lot of features, a big user base, and a professional developer team behind it. It simply surpasses most of its competitors, as there are not too many Python-specialized IDEs anyway.

    Android Studio is a great mobile development IDE. I have found it is the best for both Android and Flutter development. It is created by JetBrains, so any developer used to their products, such as IntelliJ IDEA, will find themselves right at home with this IDE. It is very intuitive so it is a good choice for people needing to learn an IDE quickly.

    PyCharm is well suited to developing and deploying Python applications in the cloud using Kubernetes or serverless pipelines. The integration with GitLab is great; merges and rebates are easily done and help the developer move quickly. The search engine that allows you to search inside your code is also great. It is less appropriate for other languages.

    Pros
    Google
    • Support for developing in either the emulator or a device means I can quickly diagnose platform specific issues
    • The support for Kotlin and Java is stellar, with projects easily containing both types of code with ease
    • Hot reload support means that I can quickly test changes without waiting for a length build and optimization process
    • Excellent cross platform support means I can develop on macOS, Windows, or Linux without losing functionality between platforms

    • Git integration is really essential as it allows anyone to visually see the local and remote changes, compare revisions without the need for complex commands.
    • Complex debugging tools are basked into the IDE. Controls like break on exception are sometimes very helpful to identify errors quickly.
    • Multiple runtimes - Python, Flask, Django, Docker are native the to IDE. This makes development and debugging and even more seamless.
    • Integrates with Jupyter and Markdown files as well. Side by side rendering and editing makes it simple to develop such files.

    Cons
    Google
    • Android Studio needs a very high amount of RAM and a high-end processor to run smoothly, which can't be affordable for everyone.
    • Updates in Gradle files can sometimes come up with a hectic improvement in whole code, which can lead us to improve some code and consume precious time.
    • Multitasking is very difficult in Android Studio due to its heavy consumption of resources.

    • The biggest complaint I have about PyCharm is that it can use a lot of RAM which slows down the computer / IDE. I use the paid version, and have otherwise found nothing to complain about the interface, utility, and capabilities.

    It has improved over the versions, and it continues to do so. I have no problems using Android Studio and I think that it's quite a user-friendly software.

    It's pretty easy to use, but if it's your first time using it, you need time to adapt. Nevertheless, it has a lot of options, and everything is pretty easy to find. The console has a lot of advantages and lets you accelerate your development from the first day.

    Overall support for Android Studio is quite good. As the project is maintained by Google itself, frequent updates are usually made to Android Studio to keep the IDE update and bug-free. Many community forums are also available to help developers across the world if they face any issue.

    I rate 10/10 because I have never needed a direct customer support from the JetBrains so far. Whenever and for whatever kind of problems I came across, I have been able to resolve it within the internet community, simply by Googling because turns out most of the time, it was me who lacked the proper information to use the IDE or simply make the proper configuration. I have never came across a bug in PyCharm either so it deserves 10/10 for overall support

    Android Studio is the best possible offering to make android based apps. It's a product by Google and the official integrated development environment for android app development. That's why it is able to offer the easiest to learn and simplest coding environment to developers. But it needs higher performance and is at times slower as compared to Flutter, etc. So that's the only drawback, but overall it's better than most tools for app development.

    When it comes to development and debugging PyCharm is better than Spyder as it provides good debugging support and top-quality code completion suggestions. Compared to Jupiter notebook it's easy to install required packages in PyCharm, also PyChram is a good option when we want to write production-grade code because it provides required suggestions.

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • The APPs developed with ANDROID STUDIO take a long time to develop, however this extra expense is compensated by the low rate of claims that our technical service must attend.
    • By working with native code, you do not depend on external library providers and their associated cost.
