Android Studio is the officially supported fastest IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for developing androids apps.

Step 2: Installing Java JDK

To use Android Studio, you need to have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your computer. You can check if it is by running the following command.

java --version

Method 2: Installing Android Studio by Using the Snap Tool

You can install Android Studio using the snap package if you don't want to add a PPA to your source list.

An application and all of its dependencies are indeed included in the snap package for Android Studio. However, keep in mind that the snap package is typically a few releases behind the PPA, so your version of Android Studio may be a little out of date. Make an informed choice!

Using the Snap tool, install Android Studio:

If you haven't already installed snap on your system, use the apt install command below to do so.

apt install snapd -y

To update the list of available snap packages, execute the snap refresh command below.

snap refresh

You may receive a restriction error as shown below. This error message indicates that Android Studio has the ability to make system modifications that might endanger your system. Snaps that are not restricted to the security sandbox frequently experience this problem.
