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?
Android (currently) is an open-source operating system. Just because you develop for it doesn’t mean your reliant on Google, or have to interact with them in any capacity.
If Google decides to, it can remove anything from AOSP, as it has done countless of times. Android is deeply controlled by Google.
