Design
Hello, one of the best tips for you is to initially design your screens with the free software Gravit Design, as it will be able to create absolutely all the screens of your app, because there you find icons for everything, can get very real.
Developing
Undoubtedly, the development will be with Android Studio. If it consumes a lot of memory from your PC you can use your own Android phone to emulate your applications.
Database
There are several tools to work with database, but a very good tip I give you is to initially avoid using SQL database for example to store information that is not media (images, video, music and etc). If your app stores only primitive values like integers, floats, Strings etc, you can use Sharepreferences which is extremely easy.
Online storage
The best online storage so far is firebase, with it its possibilities are incredible and very complete, check out.
App example
I created an app using absolutely all the tools described above, check out: App Intercampi
