I once tried mobile development in semi early days android. At the time I made a free Hackaday reader app because I was a daily reader and loved it. I remember spending 4 hours to make a scrollable element that wasn't jumpy or buggy. There were several stackoverflow answers full of gotchas explaining all you had to do. I finished and published the app but never again. Native stuff has terrible developer experience.

Things got much better as early as 2016 and they have improved each subsequent year since. I'd say there has never been a better time than now, in terms of tooling, to pick up native Android. Plenty of rough edges still around though.
