I've never used Xamarin, and I even wonder if it may give better results
since it's not the official tool for Android development. I do, however,
agree that Visual Studio is more accessible with screen readers.
For android development newcommers, I recommend Kotlin programming
language, seriously.
It's growing in popularity more and more, all new online tutorials use
Kotlin, and it makes many things easier that are hard to do in Java.
Especially if we talk about null checks, creating getters and setters,
etc. Kotlin is the future of Android development, wether you like it or not.
Yes, I agree, Android Studio has accessibility issues in recent
versions. But I'm forced to use it at work. So I'm using it with NVDA
since it is the only screen reader that currently works best with
Android Studio.
I even tried to report issues to Google Accessibility team, and I never
got any answer back, and also no fixes.
This is strange, but some of us must deal with it.

Ya, agreed with Stefan.
The android studio really a big pain.
The slowness and unresponsiveness, the limitation by which JAWS
doesn't work well it and many sorts of accessibility hickups.
Moreover, I have i7 processor and 8gb ram,
still, android studio takes almost 5 minutes in starting up and
initialising the gradle and all sorts of f** things

Hi,** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
The main thing against android java development, at least for me, it’s not
java, which is similar enough with c#, but the infamous android studio. It’s
slow, accessibility breaks with java updates, parts of the UI are still
inaccessible, like the error list wich doesn’t tell you the line number
etc.
If you can handle android studio and want to develop for android only, go
with java.
If you like c#’s slightly reduced verbosity and want to develop for ios
too, go for xamarin.

Hi all,
I hear more and more about Xamarin. Some people even state that Java is
simply a horror for Android programming with respect to Xamarin. For me, as
a beginner, would you recommend to keep learning Java? I finally made a lot
of progress for someone who never coded, or at least used Inform7 which was
my only coding experience.
What are the pros and cons of both Java and Xamarin when it comes to Android
programming?
Thanks to everyone in advance!
Best,
Miloš
