Hi, I need some advice about android app development. I am a front end web developer and I want to get into android development. I have created a simple restaurant app using phonegap and knockoutjs but I didn't like the performance. Can you recommend how should I get into android development? Nativescript and ionic also lack performance as far as I have researched. Any help is appreciated.

    @BindView I meant what you use for your everyday android dev. I have read that android studio is slow, but I do want to create lean, minimal and fast apps so I think I will have to learn java.

    @waqas-ibrahim oh, just get the canary release (3.something) and let it load on the initial startup, its not that bad actually

    Other useful things are Zeplin for designing the frontend, and i dunno your preferences but if you like reactive design look up Butterknife

    We used AngularJS and Ionic on one app. Performance is not too bad, but it's a relatively small app. Informative content on 8 sites and a minigme written with Phaser.

    @Kushtrim you had any issues with canary? I found it stable and without hiccups but im interested in your opinion

    Yeah I use canary and never had an issue so far. And I already recommend Kotlin over Java but it's really personal preference. If you are worried about performance then go native.
