Android development without Android Studio?

Question

Android

Hello.
I decided to start developing for android and tested Android Studio. But it weighs about a gigabyte and is also buggy and slow. Maybe it's my PC does not pull. Tell me how to do android development without this ide. I myself write all the code in VS Code, maybe someone knows how to organize development for android in this editor. Something like:
1) Download the Android SDK
2) Where write the path to it
...
10) Rejoice
PS thanks to everyone who answers

Answer 1

If your computer does not pull - go and update. This means that everything is really bad for you and you care about writing code on a piece of paper. AS is a great and handy IDE

Answer 2

1) Download the Android SDK (if you installed Android Studio, then you have it)
2) Write the code even in a notepad
3) Build using the command
line or - android studio. I have it pulling a computer eight years ago.

Answer 3

Never used VS Code, but it took me a minute to google this . That's just, as far as I understand, the emulator that can be used with VS Code does not support hardware acceleration, which means it will slow down many times more than Android Studio currently slows down.
