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?

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

VS Codium uses open vsx, which is the extension registry built and run by the Eclipse team. Whatever extensions you're using will also work on Theia.
