I’m kind of new in this world of coding and currently taking the “Build Basic Android Apps with Java Skill Path” i’m trying to create my first android/java excercise but android studido doesn’t show me java among the options to select when creating my file, I’m supposed to download something else? what should I do?
this is the dropdown I’m supposed to select java but it is not there.

I have the same issue. Short term I’m going to follow a different path. Perhaps just the Learn Java path, then Kotlin. Or I might go straight to Kotlin altogether. There might be other options, but I’ve spent more time trying to make this work than would’ve taken to just change courses at this point.
It looks like that while Android Studio still supports Java just fine, the fact that it generates the build differently now with the emphasis on Kotlin means that this course won’t be much use until it’s updated. But there is a Kotlin course and some other app development courses in the meantime while Codecademy runs though their ISD process for a new course.

It’s a good idea to follow the java path, before or at the same time. But let me tell you, I don’t know if I did something but the next time I tried to open Android studio, I was able to select Java,
Thanks for answering.
