I would like to ask a one question; I'm starting with learning of JS for web-development purposes and I heard that it can be used in Android Studio as well (with html, css). So What is the difference in Android Studio between using JS and Java? Is it harder to write?

- 1 You can't use JavaScript in Android Studio but you can make JavaScript based Android Applications. Not in Android Studio, but though some other development environment – musooff Commented Jul 9, 2019 at 1:17

Reset to default 2I guess there are some Android Studio plugins you could install to have your JS code highlighted, but I'm not sure that's a good idea to use it to learn web development. Android Studio has been created for developing Android applications and it focuses on optimizing the process of development using Java or Kotlin (and I believe from recently also Dart). Support of any other programming language is just an additional feature.
If you are used to AS UI and functionalities I would remend checking out WebStorm. It's very similar to IntelliJ, the IDE that AS is based on. Unfortunately it's paid, but there is a 30-day trial and if you happen to be a student, you can get a full version for free (of course for educational purposes only)
However if you're looking for a fully free tool, I heard that VisualStudio Code is a great tool as well.
You can build your UI/UX in Java/Kotlin in Android studio then just connect it to your website whether its a dating app, selling app like offer up, social media App or other WebApps and make it a hybrid app
