yup, thats the state of programming shit for mobile
for stupid helloworld-tier app i had to download at least a GB of SDK and it was deprecated when i finally got it because Android API changes every few hours or so

Android applications are managed by the OS, not by you. Your code is supposed to go into activity/fragment lifecycle methods and UI event handlers.
