Ex: 7 Installation of Android SDK and Setting up the Android Application Development Environment Android SDK Installation: 1. Download the latest SDK package suitable for your OS from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#quickstart 2. Unzip the Android SDK archive to a suitable location on your machine. 3. Add the location of the SDK's primary tools directory to your system PATH. In Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add the full path to the tools/ directory to the path. Eclipse Installation: 1. Download the Eclipse package (Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers) from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ 2. Unzip the Eclipse archive to a suitable location on your machine. ADT Plugin Installation: 1. Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install New Software. 2. In the Available Software dialog, click Add... 3. In the Add Site dialog that appears, enter a name for the remote site (for example, "Android Plugin") in the "Name" field. In the "Location" field, enter this URL:https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ Click OK. 4. Back in the Available Software view, you should now see "Developer Tools" added to the list. Select the checkbox next to Developer Tools, which will automatically select the nested tools Android DDMS and Android Development Tools. Click Next. [9]

5. In the resulting Install Details dialog, the Android DDMS and Android Development Tools features are listed. 6. Click Next to read and accept the license agreement and install any dependencies, then click Finish. 7. Restart Eclipse. Android Virtual Device (AVD) Creation: 1. In Eclipse, choose Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager. 2. Select the Install Packages in the left panel. If all the packages are already installed then go to step 4 otherwise go to next step. 3. Select the Available packages in the left panel and install all the software which is listed by the URL. 4. Select Virtual Devices in the left panel. 5. Click New. The Create New AVD dialog appears. 6. Type the name of the AVD, such as "my_avd". 7. Choose a target. The target is the platform (that is, the version of the Android SDK, such as 2.1) you want to run on the emulator. 8. You can ignore the rest of the fields for now. 9. Click Create AVD. [10]

Ex: 8 Creation and Execution of a Simple Android Application Creation of a Simple Android Application: 1. Select File > New > Project. 2. Select Android > Android Project, and click Next. 3. Select the contents for the project: Enter a Project Name. This will be the name of the folder where your project is created. 4. Under Contents, select Create new project in workspace. Select your project workspace location. 5. Under Target, select an Android target to be used as the project's Build Target. The Build Target specifies which Android platform you'd like your application built against. 6. Under Properties, fill in all necessary fields. Enter an Application name. This is the human-readable title for your application (the name that will appear on the Android device). Enter a Package name. This is the package namespace where all your source code will reside. (Following the same rules as for packages in the Java) Select Create Activity (optional, of course, but common) and enter a name for your main Activity class. Enter a Min SDK Version. This is an integer that indicates the minimum API Level required to properly run your application. 7. Click Finish. Contents (folders and files) in new Android Project: src/ Includes your stub Activity Java file. All other Java files for your application go here. <Android Version>/ (e.g., Android 2.1/) Includes the android.jar file that your application will build against. This is determined by the build target that you have chosen in the New Project Wizard. [11]

gen/ This contains the Java files generated by ADT, such as your R.java file and interfaces created from AIDL files. assets/ This is empty. You can use it to store raw asset files. res/ A folder for your application resources, such as drawable files, layout files, string values, etc. AndroidManifest.xml The Android Manifest for your project. The manifest presents essential information about the application to the Android system. Information the system must have before it can run any of the application's code. default.properties This file contains project settings, such as the build target. This files is integral to the project, as such, it should be maintained in a Source Revision Control system. It should never be edited manually To edit project properties, right-click the project folder and select "Properties".
