Getting Ready with Android Development, Installations and Configurations

JDK

Android SDK
  • Go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
  • Click on SDK from the menus
  • Select your preferred SDK installer or zip files (I picked the zip file.. the executable file cannot detect the jdk on my pc.. the zip file does)
IDE - Eclipse
  • Download your preferred IDE. (I picked the Eclipse classic from Eclipse Downloads)
  • Extract the file to your preferred location.
  • Start eclipse executable file and pick your workspace location.
Eclipse Android Development Tools (ADT) Plugins
  • Start your Eclipse.
  • Click Help -> Install new Software.
  • Click Add. 
  • In the Add Repository popup window, enter ADT plugin for the name and https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ for the location
  • Click Ok.
  • Select the checkbox beside Developer Tools -> Next.
  • A list of items to be installed is shown. Click each item to read the details below. Click Next.
  • Read the license agreement then click Finish.
  • I get a warning saying that the authenticity and validity of the software cannot be established. Click OK.
  • Restart the Eclipse IDE after the installation has been completed.
  • After the restart the next thing to do is to update ADT preferences of Eclipse to point to the Android SDK directory.
    • Select Window -> Preferences.
    • Select Android from the left panel.
    • For the SDK Location, Browse and locate the location of your SDK directory.
    • Click Apply -> Ok.
