For beginners of Android, it is important to establish a development environment for Android, because it is the basis for Android Application software development. However, for various reasons, the four major software that builds the android development environment makes it difficult for us to download the software from the official website, which makes it inconvenient for us to learn. Below, I will sort out the four major software as follows, hoping to help you learn android.
1. Java JDK
Java SE Development Kit 6u31 for Windows, multi-language or the latest Java SE 7u3 version
: Http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Note: The installation steps of Java JDK are silly. If you have no requirements during installation, you can choose "Next.
2. Eclipse
Eclipse IDE for Java developers
: Http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Note: Because eclipse is an installation-free file, you only need to extract it to the desired folder. You only need to double-click eclipse.exe in the folder behind the folder to perform initial settings for eclipse.
3. ADT
ADT 16.0.1
: Http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
Note: After downloading the ADT, you do not need to decompress the ADT.Eclipse andADTProceedConnectionThe procedure is as follows:Open eclipse, Select"Help → install
New software, select Add To Go To The add repository form, select archive, and selectADTThe storage location on your computer is complete.Eclipse andADT.
4,Android SDK
Android SDK
: Http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Note:Androidsdk is the sameEclipseSame,Developers only need to decompress it to their desired folder. Specific,Follow these steps to connect eclipse to androidsdk:Eclipse, Select"Windows → preferences ", inPreferencesForm SDK
Enter android in location
The SDK is saved.Connection between eclipse and androidsdk.
Note: Please build the development environment in the above Order.
It is worth noting that,After successfully installing the above four software, the user must set six environmental variables of the computer,The details are as follows:(Note: When configuring environment variables, developers can chooseSelect "system variables" or "User variables. We recommend that you select "system variables" because, even if you switchWindowsUser, this configuration about environment variables still takes effect.)
1. java_home
Java_home = c: \ Program
Files \ Java \ jdk1.6.0 _ 24
2. java_jre_home
Java_jre_home = c: \ Program
Files \ Java \ jdk1.6.0 _ 24 \ JRE
3. jre_home
Jre_home = c: \ Program
Files \ Java \ jre6
4. android_sdk_home
Android_sdk_home = D: \ My
Program \ Android-SDK-Windows
5. classpath
Classpath = .; % java_home % \ Lib; % java_home % \ Lib \ tool. jar; % java_home % \ Lib \ DT. jar; % jre_home % \ Lib \ RT. jar; % java_jre_home % \ Lib \ RT. jar
6. Path
Path = % android_sdk_home % \ tools;% Android_sdk_home % \ platform-tools;% Java_home % \ bin; % jre_home % \ bin; % java_jre_home % \ bin
Through the above settings, our android compilation environment has been set up.
Note:In fact, after installing the above software, developers can configure the Java environment variables to develop the android program. However, for further development, we recommend that you configure all the preceding environment variables.
