You will not get anything specific also remotely from developing for Android 2.2. No new or even very few old devices exist for Android 2.2.

But if you are thinking to install Android 2.2 on any Raspberry Pi style devices, that changes everything.

You need to get an Android Studio older than 2.0 version from this link Android Studio Canary Channel Downloads for all versions
