Answer 1

It is not that easy as FrozenFire has told you. You need to add a number of entries into Android Studio's main configuration file to tell it to use and store other configuration files and logs relative to its executable. You also need to set a number of environment variables pointing to SDK, AVD, and Gradle's configuration directories.

I have created a number of PowerShell scripts to download, extract, and prepare a portable environment for Android development (with Android SDK and Oracle JDK). You can either use them or take a look on how to create the environment on your own. Inside the repo you can also find a branch for Android Studio preview builds. You can also set the AndroidStudioPortable-Definitions.ps1 script to download a specific version of Android Studio/SDK, or JDK. The scripts were tested on everything after Windows 7 including the Windows 7 itself.

Answer 2

AS (Android Studio) itself is portable, however the JDK (Java Development Kit) which is required to run AS, is not. So you still need to install JDK on each computer you use.

You can download the AS versions here:
http://tools.android.com/download/studio/stable

EDIT:
You need to save the AS together with SDK files:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

and if you have problems with gradle, it can be downloaded here:
https://services.gradle.org/distributions/

To set up gradle for offline, go to:
File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Gradle then check Offline Work. You will need to assign the service directory path (the path where gradle lives) or just paste the downloaded gradle zip into default directory, which is C:/Users/<CurrentUser>/.gradle.
