Detailed steps for installing and building an Android Development Environment on Apple MAC

The main tools required for building the Android development platform are: Java Virtual Machine JDK, Eclipse, Eclipse plug-in ADT (Android Developer Tool) and Android Development Kit SDK. The following are the specific installation methods.

A. JDK

JDK has been pre-installed for us on MAC and Java System variables are configured by default, so JDK can be directly used for us, to view the JDK version in MAC, enter "java-version" in the command line (Hard Disk/application/utility/terminal) and press Enter.

B. Android SDK

To download the Android SDK, go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and select the Mac OS X (intel) platform. After downloading the SDK, open the package and the system automatically decompress it to the folder, go to the tools folder in the folder and open the android file to start AVD manager. Select the desired AVD platform based on the displayed list and click Install Selected to Install it.

C. Eclipse

Eclipse is familiar to Java developers. You can download it from the official website: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads /. Here we only need the basic development functions, so we chose Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. After the download is complete, we can directly run automatic decompression.

D. ADT

Open Eclipse, select Install New Software in Help from the menu, and enter the ADT installation address in the pop-up dialog box.

 

 

After completing the preceding steps, you can successfully build an Android Development Environment on MAC. before entering the actual development stage, you only need to create an AVD Android simulator to run Android code through the simulator.
