OBTAINING THE REQUIRED TOOLS

Now that you know what Android is and what its feature set contains, you are probably anxious to get your hands dirty and start writing some application! Before you write your first app,however , you need to download the required tools.

For Android development , you can use a Mac,Windows PC,or a Linux machine. You can freely download all the necessary tools. Most of the examples provided in the blog are written to work on Android Studio. For this Blog, i am using a Windows 10 computer to demonstrate all the code samples.If you are using a Mac or Linux computer , the screenshots look similar. Some minor differences might be present,but you should be able to follow along without problems.

Let the fun begin !

NOTE:-

The Android Studio makes use of the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) . If Your computer does not have JDK installed, yous should by Downloading it from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk13-downloads-5672538.html and installing it prior to moving to the next section.

What is Android

Android is a moblie operating System that is based on a modified version of Linux. It was originally developed by a startup of the same name , Android , Inc. In 2005 , as part of its strategy to enter the moblie space , Google purchased Android , Inc. and took over its development work (as well as its development team). Google wanted the Android OS to be open and free , so most of the Android code was released under the open source Apache License. That means anyone who wants to use Android can do so by downloading the full Android source code. Moreover, vendors ( typically hardware manufacturers ) can add their own proprietary extensions to Android and customize Android to differentiate their products from others . This development model makes Android very attractive to vendors, especially those companies affected by the phenomenon of Apple's iPhone,which was a hugely successful product that revolutionized the smartphone industry. When the iPhone was launched , many smartphone m...

Using Code Completion

Code completion is an invaluable tool that shows you contextual options for completing the piece of code that you are trying to write. For example, in the editor tab for the MainActivity.js file, locate the line that reads.          setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); Place your cursor after this line and press the Enter Key . On the new line , type the letter R , and then type a period, as shown here:          R. Android Studio Code Completion should display a list of values that you could use to try to complete the code statement. Figure shows what this list might look like . this is important if you are not entirely sure of the spelling of a method call or how to identify the different method signatures. NOTE if the code completion window does not open , press Ctrl + Space to force it to open. This is the same key combination used in some other IDEs for their versions of the code complet...

Android Studio

The first and most important piece of software you need to download is Android Studio. After you have downloaded and installed Android Studio , you can use the SDK Manager to download and install multiple versions of the Android SDK. Having multiple version of the SDK available enables you to write programs that target different devices. For example , you can write one version of an application that specifically targets Android Nougat , but because that flavor Android is on less than 1% of devices, with multiple versions of the SDK you can also write a version of your app that uses older features and targets Marshmallow or Lollipop users. You can use Android Device Manager to set up device emulators. You can Download Android Studio from https://developer.android.com/studio Android Studio is packaged in an executable. Run the install process to set up Android Studio. After you've download and run the setup executable, use the following steps to go through the installation proce...
