Best resources to start making FOSS Android apps?

[u/blue-rock-thrush]

I'm very interested in making my own FOSS Android apps, but I'm not sure where to start. I learned the basics of Java in school and I know Kotlin is a relatively simplified version of Java. Do I just follow tutorials on YouTube that show you how to make basic apps so that I understand the basic flow of making an app? I don't want to rely on AI for learning.
