Instead of asking people to click on a link, what is it you want to know?

Yea sorry for not bieng very clear on my question. Im just trying to get some advice on what the best language would be to learn if i wanted to make a 3rd party facebook and messenger application for android. And maybe just some general tips while trying to learn. Also if you guys know of any that i can use while learning to reference that would be awesome.

For Android apps, you would need to learn Java as this is the language that all Android apps are built in.  You can technically do them using web technologies such as Javascript, HTML and CSS and then use various systems such as PhoneGap to build an app around them but these never perform as well as one built natively in Java.  That said, I'm not sure how open Facebook's platform is in terms of allowing developers enough access to build a full messenger alternative.

Is this Android Studio a good IDE for them and others wanting to develop for android, or is there a better IDE?

There is not a shortage of Java tutorials,
- - nor are they hidden under rocks.  :D
Just search for Java

Yeah, Android studio is probably the best option unless you already have a preferred Java development environment.  Certainly saves a huge amount of hassle configuring something different to handle all the Android build stuff.
