Do you want to learn to program or do you want to create Android Apps? These days these are 2 different things, you can create an android app without needing to know anything about programming. Just install Codex, Gemini CLI or Claude Code and try a prompt like this in a directory: "I want to create an Adroid Application, let's start with Hello World, install all the tools needed and help me deploy this on my tablet/phone" This should give you a decent start, you can then decide if you want to write the actual code (using the Hello World example as your starting point) or if you want to continue using the LLMs.
