What are you building and why do you prefer Vscode? Is there a technical reason you cannot use Android Studio? Or is it just a familiarity thing?

Android Studio is multi platform, free and in my opinion, the best way to start learning Android development and writing native Android applications.

Well one simple good reason I can think of any one would want to come out of Android Studio is it is too slow for building Mobile App in this day and age ; it may be an engineering master piece - but heck what is the use of it for true developers who just one to use it as a tool - if it takes ages to see the effect of coding in the real App?
