I've been coding for Android for some time now. I found the
android-udev and android-tools packages very useful but apart from
that I've downloaded and "installed" locally the Android SDK and IDE
(Android Studio is my preference). I manage android updates separately
without the use of a package manager (or aur). As you understand I had
to specify the paths on my profile. The Android SDK is installed under
home (along with multiple jdk versions)

I agree with this approach.
