What program / site for android app development

[dal]

Hi, so I want to create a app, nothing too flashy. Basically I want to control some leds from my phone via bluetooth ( connected to a ESP32 ). As a minimum what I will need to to is send 30 x 3 RGB values numbers overbluetooth.
I've tried MIT app inventor which is drag and drop to create functional buttons etc but it seems somewhat limited. What I'd like is somthing where you can drag and drop buttons / sliders ect onto a layout then code the buttons yourself.
I've done some C# coding before so I think I'd be ok with somthing like what I've described, even if not in C#.


Regards.

Android studio worth a look.

I've tried that, JEEZ that is complicated for a beginner. I'll try Xamarin

Thanks, I have actually gone back to android studio and I did manage to get a basic app working by following along with a treehouse video which I found really helpful, so I'll stick with that. I tried Xamarin but just couldn't get on with it, it seemed so long winded to get it set up.
