Android Studio is the primary toolkit for developing native android apps. If you have no background in programming, there are some more visual tools like Budibase (open source) or Softr (closed source), but you are likely to run into difficulty getting them to apply logic the way you'd like.
If you're a tinkerer, then honestly I'd look into learning more about Android Studio and Kotlin, the language most used these days for app development on Android.
Android Studio is proprietary
Does that mean there is a free alternative?
Vscodium
And vscode.
That's not Foss though
OP never asked for FOSS.
True, but this is F-droid. Not to mention there little reason to use vscode over vscodium.
You're spot on. I do want to make my app open source.
Vscodium is basically vscode but without the proprietary stuff
