I got stuck on the question of what is better to choose for development for android. Android NDK(C/C++) or Android Studio(Java)? I know these languages at the same level.

From the point of view of mimocrocodile - take Java. More examples, less hassle.

Read habrahabr.ru/post/203014 as NDK is not always recommended, i.e. depends on what you are developing.

The question itself is not very clear. There is a need for native code - you will write libraries in C ++ with jni, there is no such need - you will not. One way or another, you must have an sdk, an android application is a compiled java code and (possibly) some kind of dynamic libraries. Even in degenerate cases like NativeActivity and pure c++ development you will need an sdk.
So - some sdk, ndk and some IDE, if you are used to it, Idea (aka Android Studio), Eclipse + ADT, any text editor ... If you want to build with ant and export eclipse projects - take a big idea, not studio. If you work with gradle, you can use studio. If you have a lot of native C++ code and want a common ecosystem - eclipse.
Well, if you know both "equally well" then you should understand that not all Android APIs will be pushed into jni.
