I want to develop my own Android games or Android apps. But my PC computer is really low end, so what are some best android studio alternatives for low end pc?
Could anyone drop a list of Android app development software which are alternatives for Android studio and also works on low end computer.

Android studio Alternatives are there for the low pcs even.
There is simply no alternative to Android Studio. If you want to develop native android apps you have to use Android Studio. You may try using Eclipse with the ADT plugin but remember that is no longer supported by Google and it’s not as good as an android studio.
To solve your problem with the low-end laptop, you can use an android device(you can buy one for less than Rs 5000) for testing your app. Another alternative is to use the Genymotion emulator, it’s slightly faster than the default emulators.
If you are developing App with java or flutter you can go with some of the lightweight software like
1. Visual Studio.
2. Xcode.
3. Ionic.
4. Xamarin.
5. Appcelerator.
6. Corona SDK.

What are the minimum system requirements for the above 5 Android development softwares?
Ramya834
yeah !!
Basically, these are the light weighted software so you need not worry about lagging while writing code in the Pc
Here are the minimum requirements for the above softwares
Microsoft® Windows® 7/8/10 (64-bit)
4 Gb is minimum for better accuracy
2 GB of available disk space minimum, 4 GB Recommended (500 MB for IDE + 1.5 GB for Android SDK and emulator system image)
1280 x 800 minimum screen resolution.
I have the same problem. Android Studio runs too slow on my Windows laptop.
I use AIDE (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui).
AIDE runs very fast on my Android tablet.
With AIDE, you can develop and build your APK directly on your Android device.
AIDE has some limitations : no Kotlin support, androidx is not supported, only Java 7 is supported.
