Java: Official programming language for Android development
Java is recognized as an official programming language for android app development. The Android OS itself is programmed in Java and therefore apps made with Java are more stable. Another language is also used like C++, Python, Kotlin, etc.
But nowadays, Kotlin is also being promoted by Google for Android development but the core Java will never go. So, for a master in android development, one must be master in Java also.
Android Studio: Official IDE
Android Studio is officially used IDE for Android apps development and programming. An IDE or Integrated Development Environment is a type of software that enables us to do programming and software development by writing codes in programming languages.
Some IDE for android development are Android Studio, Eclipse, Apache Cordova etc.
Android Studio has two types of windows: one for designing interface and screens(commonly termed as activity) and another window is for writing Java codes for the working of activity. Designing is done in the XML programming language.

Java window of Android Studio contains all the codes and scripts required for the screen or activity to work. It is a core component of the app.

For developing an app, a programmer has to work with both the windows simultaneously. These two windows are related to each other in the project. For the complete tutorial and downloading of Android Studio, refers to official website https://developer.android.com/studio
