What's your Android dev setup?

I'm new (0 experience) to Android Dev, but want to contribute to one simple open-source app that I like on GitHub.

I had a spare hour today and tried to setup GitHub Codespaces environment, but so far failed to install AndroidSDK and satisfy Gradle.

So the question, what setups do you have for Android dev? What's industry standard and what YOU prefer?

And is cloud development a thing in Android world?

Back when I learned I just used the resources from Udacity. Google had created a Kotlin based course with them.

Software wise, it basically came down to Android studio, git, and some bash commands (but mostly for git). But this will be shown in the videos anyway.
Android Studio is the way to go, especially you're new to this space. Be familiar with the official tools before exploring other options.
I'm just a noob developer myself, but I believe Android Studio is what most devs use. At least it's what I use and what works for me.
