Getting started with Android Development

I. installation and configuration of the android Environment

1. First install Java JDK,

For Java Development, you must first install JDK. After JDK is installed, you must configure environment variables:

(1) download JDK (Http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp), The version I downloaded is: jdk-6u14-windows-i586.exe

(22.161_install jdk-6u14-windows-i586.exe

(3) Configure environment variables: Right-click "my computer" --> "advanced" --> "environment variables"

1) Create in System VariablesJava_homeVariable; Value: C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jdk1.6.0 _ 14 (based on your own installation path)

2) createClasspathVariable; Value:.; % java_home % \ Lib \ tools. Jar

3) InPathAdd variable values: % java_home % \ bin; % java_home % \ JRE \ bin (note that variable values are separated)

4) "start" --> "run" --> enter "javac" --> "enter". If the command is printed properly, the configuration is successful!

Analysis of supplemental environment variables:

Java_home: JDK installation path

Classpath: Java loads the class path. Only the class can be identified by the Java command in classpath. A "." is added before the path to indicate the current path.

Path: The system can recognize Java and javac commands in any path. Reference blog authorNiklas_f attention fieldThisArticleJDK installation and environment variable configuration.

 

2. Download and install ADT

Download the latest ADT bundle from the official Android website. It integrates eclipse + ADT plugin, Android SDK tools, Android platform-tools, and so on, simplifying the configuration, you no longer need to configure the android development environment as you used.

Android SDK (ADT bundle for Windows:ADT for Windows. Of course, the Linux and Mac versions of other platforms are also provided here.
