-

 

Install Android Studio and start your first Android project


if you are new to Android Studio, this tutorial series will get you started. I will briefly introduce the Android development platform, then show you how to download, install, and run the software. After that, we'll spend most of our time actually using Android Studio to develop an animated mobile app:

  • In Part 1, you will start up your first Android project and get to know Android Studio's main window.
  • In Part 2, you will code the app, learning how to use Android Studio to enter source code and resources into the project.
  • In Part 3, we will build and run the app, using both an emulated hardware device and a Motorola Device.
  • In Part 4, I'll show you how to use built-in tools and plugins to debug Android and improve your coding productivity.
Examples in this series are from the most stable version of Android at the time of this writing, Android 10.
