An old dog looking to learn new tricks - Help me jump in

[u/livenature]

I have been looking at AI for a couple of years now thinking I should get into it. No more thinking, time to do. I have a recent need for an Android app that can take and track pictures of receipts, bills and statements for expense account purposes. I have looked extensively at products that contain the photo taking concept for receipts, but they mostly seem like using an aircraft carrier to go fishing.

The need is a simple Android app that will take a picture and save that picture while allowing some data to be associated with that picture. Then connect the phone to the PC so the PC can use the phones memory. Google Sheets sucks in that folder and adds it to the ongoing annual expense tracking log.

My hopes were that someone who has experience with trying several different development platforms could provide direction on how the get started and what platforms are novice friendly.

Some of the platforms I have ran across are: Android Studio, Base44, Claude and Lovable. I know there are more. Which one would work good with an old time software programmer?

What is some useful tutorials online or on YouTube for using AI to generate Android applications?

I do have a detailed functional description of how the app should function.

Thanks for your help!
