Tips for getting Android Studio going
 - first, build an Empty Activity, Kotlin project, make sure it works in the
   simulator
     - you may need to give AS time to start, it takes a while even
       on fast machines (it is still starting even after the interface is
       running)
 - when opening an unzipped project, make sure you open the top level
   directory, not any otherwise empty containing directory
 - make sure to tell it to use local JDK settings before you do anything
    - if you don't, you'll probably need to start with a fresh copy
 - You may need to put the folder in a new location, there seems to be some
   caching based on the path
