I use APDE for all my work for Android, but I work on my PC for editing.  
I use an app called Pigeon which shares the clipboards from PC and phone.  
So I edit on my PC, and when I want to test my code, I press select/copy all, and then on my phone with APDE already open select/paste all. After that, I press run, and the code is compiled within a few seconds. [Here](https://github.com/EmmanuelPil/Android-java-code-utilities-widgets-for-Processing-for-Android) you can find some Android code for views etc, @uheinema also has a nice repo [here](https://github.com/uheinema), with libs like OpenCV for Android, sound, fonts, etc.  
If you have problems with the SDK you can try [this](https://discourse.processing.org/t/android-mode-install-issue/23276/3).  
Android Studio is of course the ultimate, but personally, for me, it’s a big Christmas tree, with too many bells and whistles, that my modest PC simply can’t handle. It takes hours to compile something.
