Tools and IDEs:
-
Previously we have eclipse with Android SDK bundle to develop applications.
-
Currently most of the companies using Official Android Studio for development.
-
I would suggest Android Studio as it has many internal tools to build applications fast and it will give an efficient final product.

You can download the latest Android studio from below link

Choosing which programming language(Java/Kotlin) to use:
-
Java is a first programming language used for developing Android applications. If you are a Java developer or if you know core java, you can start the android application development.
-
If you don’t know the Java programming language better start learning Kotlin. Because Kotlin is now official language for Android applications development.
-
Currently, we have the support of both(Java and Kotlin) languages for developing the applications.
-
Learning Kotlin is a big plus for future android developers.

Official Kotlin documentation available for Android in below links
-
We have new Android Jetpack components are a collection of libraries that are individually adaptable and built to work together while taking advantage of Kotlin language features that make you more productive. Use them all or mix and match!
