Android Studio and Java
Hi) I know Python well, and as soon as I realized that I wanted to try to make my own application, I decided to study this topic. I started working with Android Studio. The question is, do I need to download Java first, and only then Android Studio, or does it work well anyway??? Just in some sources they write that Android Studio will not work without it, in others they just download it and that's it, without any Java. Are there any people familiar with this? Please help me.

Android Studio already has a built-in compiler and the language libraries themselves.You will need to download the smartphone emulator and the Android OC if you plan to run everything on your computer. But everything will be prompted to download during the installation of Android Studio.
If you need some other version of Java, then in the settings of Android Studio, you can select the desired version and it will load it itself.

Android Studio doesn't work without 2 important components:
A) Java - more precisely, JDK at least version >= 7.0 (I recommend 8.0)
B) Android SDK

Development Android Studio is run in 3 programming languages: Java, Kotlin, and C++. At the moment, the recommended language is Kotlin, but there will be more examples and documentation in Java. The development of speed-critical sections is being carried out in C/C++.
