Years ago when I last wrote an Android app the development system ran on Windows or Linux and included a emulated/simulated phone plus a faster than MTP method (ADB?) to load app to also test on an actual Android phone.
All a free download from Google.
It was very like doing a Java app, except Google is a pain and keeps changing how you do I/O to SD card or storage. Really Windows for Workgroups 3.11 was better (apart from lack of Explorer desktop, as long as Win32s, 32 bit TCP/IP and 32 bit Disk etc all added), stupid changes since Android 3 and poor UI. Material Design is idiotic. But then I think Win10/Win11/Chrome/Mozilla UIs are all rubbish compared to mac OS9, Win9x, NT4.0/2K/XP UIs.
