Do not decide to use Java "just because you can." Ensuring that everything works when you need it and at the same time is a massive pain. You should be very familiar with Java, using an IDE and API/SDK, and Git or other VCS. If you decide to use Java:

1. Copy the TeamCode directory and rename it to TeamCode{year}. {year} should be what class the majority of the team members are in. If there are multiple teams with the same year using Java, the teams should be TeamCode{year}A, TeamCode{year}B, and so forth.
2. Rename the com.firstinspires.ftc.teamcode package to com.{name}.ftc.{year} (ex. com.technodot.ftc.twentyfive. Your name can be your username, your real name, whatever you prefer (all lowercase, no spaces, dashes, or underscores). The year should be the current year, spelled out, all lowercase without any spaces.
3. In settings.gradle, add a new line with include ':TeamCode{year}'.
4. In TeamCode{year}/build.gradle, change the namespace variable to your package name.
5. You may need to rebuild Gradle/restart Android Studio for the changes to take effect.
6. To the left of the Run button at the top of Android Studio, change the module being built to TeamCode{year}.
