I would like to run a java project with IntelliJ IDEA rather than with Gradle in Android Studio. I know this is possible with the Jetbrains IDE (see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2020.3/work-with-gradle-projects.html#delegate_build_gradle), but is there an equivalent option in Android Studio? I am running on Bumblebee 2021.1.1 and all that the gradle options are showing currently are here:

IntelliJ IDEA's documentation shows they include more options though:

I know Android Studio is not in reality IntelliJ IDEA, but is just a fork of it. Is this ability I'm looking for just something Android Studio does not allow?

I am downloading Android Studio now so I can create mobile apps using Kotlin and I am totally new to it, I checked the Android Studio user guide and it says it is strongly built on IntelliJ so I am wondering do I still need to download IntelliJ or once I download Android Studio, I will find all I want in it.
Android Studio has built-in plugins with IntelliJ software. You don't need to install IntelliJ. Android Studio will work just fine.
Currently, I have IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate installed. I want to develop an Android app. Do I need to install Android Studio?
No. Android Studio is focused specifically on Android development and
provides streamlined environment and project setup, but otherwise all
of its features are available in IntelliJ IDEA.

Android Studio and IntelliJ changes for Android related functionality are kept in sync (both ways). Android Studio is free but has only a subset of functionality of IntelliJ.
I am somewhat new to both IntelliJ and Android Studio. The Android Studio IDE seems to be built directly on top of the IntelliJ platform. Are they the same?
Since Android Studio is based in Intellij, your "learning curve" should not be a problem at all.
Android studio has more "branding" for Android than IntelliJ IDEA. And since it is just an Android IDE, it can be more "focused". There isn't anything you can do in Android Studio that you can't do in Intellij IDEA. But the opposite is not true. There are a number of (non-android) things you can do in IntelliJ IDEA (both the community and ultimate editions) that you cannot do in Android Studio.
for more clarification
There's another thread about this topic here but with no accepted/sufficient answer. I am building a plugin targeted at Android Studio using IntelliJ Community Edition plugin development tools and I need to run and rebug the plugin in Android Studio. However when the run command is clicked in IntelliJ CE, it opens another instance of IntelliJ and opens the plugin in IntelliJ.
How can I change this configuration to run the plugin in Android Studio instead of IntelliJ? Upon researching, Android Studio plugins are developed using IntelliJ if I'm not mistaken (As mentioned here and here). There's no official guide addressing this. Any clarification and guides on getting this done?
EDIT
The duplicate thread does not solve the problem as it does not state a solution to run the plugin in Android Studio
I'm not asking about gradle plugins, I'm asking how could you change the IDE itself?, like adding a new menu.
Android Studio is based on the IntelliJ Platform, so all of the information for building IntelliJ IDEA plugins applies to Android Studio as well. See here for the IntelliJ IDEA plugin development documentation.
