Any of the recent MacBook Pros will be able to handle Xcode and whatever IDE you’re using for Android. You may want to look into a refurbished model if you’re cost conscious. You don’t need the touch bar models but they are newer and slightly faster.

I’ve got a refurbished 13” 2015 MacBook Pro and it works great.

Any of apples current line up and going back to 2015 for the MacBook and back to 2013 for the air and the pro should be fine for this use.
