Detailed steps to install and build an Android development environment in Apple Mac

The main tools needed for the Android development platform are Java Virtual machine jdk, Eclipse, Eclipse plug-in ADT (Android Developer Tool), and the Android Development Kit SDK, the following are the specific installation methods.

A, JDK

The JDK has been pre-installed for us on the Mac and the Java system variables have been configured by default, so the JDK is used directly for us to view the JDK version in the Mac by typing "java-version" in the command line (hard disk/application/utility/terminal) and enter.

C, Eclipse

Eclipse is familiar to Java developers, but directly to the official download: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. Here we only need basic development capabilities, so we choose the eclipse IDE for Java developers, after the download is complete, directly run the automatic decompression.
