I want to learn android development, but I am little bit confused about it whether I should learn Xamarin Android or Xamarin Forms.

    Xamarin forms allows you to create cross platform apps for example a Xamarin forms app could work on an IPhone, Android, Windows UWP, MacOs, Tizen, GTK#(Linux), and WPF. Xamarin Android only allows you to target android.

    Xamarin forms uses Xaml to define the UI while xamarin adroid uses the Android designer.

    If you know xaml or want to target multiple platforms Xamarin forms is probably a better choice to learn.

    If you are only interested in targeting android then Xamarin Android is a better choice.
