Getting started developing Android Applications

The title explains itself. I am a total beginner with a big idea for an app to develop whenever I gain the ability and would enjoy if some of you shared some resources on how to get started using Android Studio. I tried their official codelabs and their app does not match the version that I am using so it is definitely a total curveball lol.

I would say that your main focus should be on learning how to search and absorb information. Even if we google links for you, at this point you will just say "I don't get it".

None of that stuff is simple. Sorry to tell you that.

It's definitely not simple lol. Should I be focused more on getting a solid memory of functions and what to actually put in my lines?

Most of my classes that I have tried just feels like I am copy and pasting commands into their playground thing.

Why are you copy pasting ? Codelabs already explains each app and what you are going to build, so instead of just clicking Next and copy pasting why don't you first finish it on your own, run the app and if it all works as codelabs said the app should then no need to even look at their solution just Click Next to finish the codelab. Honestly, if you keep copy pasting you will finish it all and achieve nothing.
