ANDROID SOFWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT (SDK)
The Android Software Development Kit (SDK) allows developers to create applications for the Android platform. The Android SDK includes sample projects with source code, development tools, an emulator, and required libraries to build Android applications which are written using the Java programming language.
Much of the info in this guide comes from the
documentation on the Android Developers site. Follow this quick guide to
successfully install Android SDK on your computer. If you are new to it, it is
a bit complicated to install compared to your usual program. However if you are
good in following instructions, it’s as easy as A-B-C.
INSTALLING THE ANDROID SDK
1. Get ready your computer
Before anything else, see to it that your computer
meets the minimum system requirements. Specifically, you might need to install
the Java Development Kit (JDK), if you don’t have it yet.
The following outlines the system and software
requirements for developing Android applications using the Android SDK.
2. Download the SDK Starter Package
The SDK Starter Package is not a full development
environment. It only includes the core SDK Tools, which you can use to download
the rest of the SDK components (such as the latest Android platform).
To get the latest version of the SDK starter
package, go to the Android SDK download page page and download the package for your
machine’s operating system.
3. Install the Android SDK manager
Download Android SDK.
- Install the SDK. The SDK doesn’t work properly when it is installed in a path with spaces (“Program Files (x86)”). It is recommended to install it to a custom folder similar to C:\Android.
- Install the platform tools and at least one platform image. You can use API 8 or above.
- Exit Android SDK Manager
2. Install the Android packages
- Copy all files in ‘copy_to_sdk’ and paste it into D > android_sdk > sdk4.
- Restart Android SDK Manager.
3. Launching Android SDK and AVD Manager
4. After install and configure path
