Hi all, much of what I have read recommends Android Studio to create Android apps, but I’m a bit wary since it’s developed by Google. Are there any other good alternatives that are ideally open-source?

I am currently running Fedora 43 KDE, and I use VSCodium as my main code editor, mostly Python at the moment. Are there any plugins I could use to enable Kotlin support/specific Android dev stuff in VSCodium?

    After a quick search, Eclipse “Theia” has a whole load of AI marketing and is the alternative to “GitHub CoPilot, Cursor, etc”. No thanks.

      That’s just AI marketing bandwagon crap, probably fishing for funding. The editor has been around for a few years, and it had nothing to do with AI until very recently.
