Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.
-
Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

I googled it, and found a few writeups for android without using an IDE. Some dated. Adding "24" to the search helps get recent articles.
Sounds like the UI can be done in XML, but would need to be previewed in Android Studio.

Might be helpful? A more recent post on this kinda thing, but I only skimmed it. Then you can use whatever editor you want.
Another option is to drink the koolaid. Find an up-to-date tutorial that is for beginners, so it goes over the features of the IDE and why you should be using them.
I used to use Sublime for the majority of my stuff. But eventually tried drinking the VSCode koolaid for a new project, setting up language servers and all that. Wouldn't go back.
Some things only need a text editor. But if there are extensions for the language/platform/framework in VSCode, I'd rather have the tooling support.
