    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.

    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

    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.

    Android Studio is very useful for developers to write the code of Android apps. It provides auto implementation, suggestions, and removes boilerplate codes, which helps developers write clear and optimized code. Number of third party and Jetbrains plugins available to improve the speed of development and help the developer.

    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • Positive Impact: No license fee, saves a lot of money upfront.
    • Positive Impact: Faster project delivery, because errors are cached quickly while typing code allowing to fix the code at the same time, and this eliminates the need of fixing bugs which saves time. Saves 20% of my time.
    • Negative Impact: Not works well on low end laptops with RAM less than 16GB.
