While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Microsoft Visual Studio vs Android Studio: Which is best for you?

and Demo
Features
- With support for various code bases, as well as HTML, the programme provides all you need for building and developing websites, email, applications and widgets.
- I have nothing that I specifically dislike about Visual Studio. If I had to choose one item it would be the fact that a user could feel "forced" to start using MS Copilot by virtue of it being so integrated into the latest versions of VS.
- I am using it for both native and cross-platform app development. Despite its simplistic design, it still houses all of the integral components of app development (SDK, IDE, emulator). But I preferred that it didn't get cluttered with unessential packages and tools. And Android Studio allowed such nuanced customizations for me.
- Some tools are impossible to use on windows, Like the app inspector works for the first couple of minutes when inspecting network but it slows the whole system down way too much, have to detach the inspector to get the Speed back.
