Where can I write Parse Cloud Code functions for android?

Is it possible to write a cloud code function directly into android studio? If not where could I write one? I can't find it on my parse dashboard

thanks

Cloud code is only written in the express module of your app inside cloud/main.js file, you can create cloud functions there and call them from your android app. Example:

Parse.Cloud.define("getPosts", function(request, response){
  var query = new Parse.Query("Posts");
  //TODO: query constraints here
  query.equalTo("key",request.params.text);
  query.find().then(function(results){
    response.success(results);
  });
});

and you can call this function from android as below:

public static void getPosts(String text, final onSearch onSearch) {
        HashMap<String, String> hashMap = new HashMap<>();
        hashMap.put("text", text);
        ParseCloud.callFunctionInBackground("getPosts", hashMap, new 
        FunctionCallback<List<Post>>() {
            @Override
            public void done(List<Post> object, ParseException e) {
                //TODO: use search results...
            }
        });
    }

you can see other cloud functions and parameters in the docs: Cloud Code Guide
