Documentation missing #3

Description

@AshyIsMe

The dev environment and build steps documentation is quite sparse here.

Could someone please add some documentation on how to get set up in Android Studio (or eclipse?) with this project?

I ran through the "Import project" wizard in Android Studio and eventually got it to build and run in the emulator but J immediately crashes on start in the emulator and AS also has quite a few warnings and recommendations about outdated frameworks and target versions.

Am I correct in assuming that the current dev environment is Eclipse based?
Is there any appetite for moving to Android Studio now that it seems to be the standard for Android dev?
Also is there any appetite for updating the target framework with a view to listing this on the Play store?

I've noticed a few bugs and usability issues that I'd be interested in trying to fix but in general it might encourage more people to help out if onboarding was a bit smoother.

J on Android is by far the best programming environment on a phone that I've come across, even compared to termux offering an almost full unix environment with vim and emacs etc.
I think there's huge potential for J and the other APL family languages on mobile and would love to see some more interface and usability experimentation.
