Good IDE/code editor for developing Android apps with Kotlin? (sopuli.xyz)

Hi all, much of what I have read recommends Android Studio to create Android apps, but I'm a bit wary since it's developed by Google. Are there any other good alternatives that are ideally open-source?

I am currently running Fedora 43 KDE, and I use VSCodium as my main code editor, mostly Python at the moment. Are there any plugins I could use to enable Kotlin support/specific Android dev stuff in VSCodium?

Nit picking: why use VSCodium? It's better to use Eclipse Theia instead, which is built from scratch and runs its own extension repository.

...and for the old timers: NO! Eclipse Theia is NOT the Eclipse you're thinking of

    After a quick search, Eclipse "Theia" has a whole load of AI marketing and is the alternative to "GitHub CoPilot, Cursor, etc". No thanks.

    It's what I'm used to and it's got a good selection of extensions that are useful to me.
