IPhone developers are relatively saturated abroad, but there are still many vacancies in China. However, due to the limitations of the SDK itself, many Mac OS internal design limitations exist, therefore, many Android users cannot use third-party sdks without jailbreak on the iPhone, such as basic applications such as input methods and incoming call firewalls. Windows Phone 7 is currently unavailable, microsoft's limit is no less than the iPhone's current performance in terms of the interface and SDK. At the same time, the Silverlight library is well known, and there are still some requirements in China, at present, Android products such as shanzhai machine and tablet still have good room for development in China.
1. Download Eclipse
After we have configured the JDK environment, we can start to configure the Android integrated development environment. The integrated development environment recommended by Google is Eclipse, so we use Eclipse as the integrated development environment. For Development on Linux or Windows, you only need to download the Eclipse version of the corresponding platform. The specific development process on Eclipse is the same. Eclipse is an open integrated development environment. The so-called openness refers to the open source code, that is, the source code of Eclipse is open source ), it can be used to develop plug-ins on Eclipse or applications in a style like Eclipse ). Eclipse home page: http://www.eclipse.org/, its download home page: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, download page as shown in:
The default version of the page is Windows. If you want to select another platform such as Linux, click the drop-down box in the upper right corner to select Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X ). The default value is the latest official version 3.7.2, codenamed Indigo. To download the old version, click the Older Versions link in the upper-left corner to download the old version. Multiple versions are listed in the list, because many application plug-ins are developed due to the excellent scalability of Eclipse. In order to save the user's download workload, avoid downloading a large number of plug-ins for a specific type of development. Therefore, it is packaged for several common types of development. Here is a brief introduction: Eclipse Classic is the standard Elipse version. It only includes basic plug-ins, not special plug-ins for applications. It is usually called the cleanest Eclipse version. For Android development, we download the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers version. Although it is a development version for J2EE, it has a wide range of plug-ins and is also suitable for Android development. In earlier versions of Eclipse, there was a Chinese version. Later, because the team responsible for Chinese localization was disbanded, there was no Chinese version of Eclipse. Each platform has two versions: 32-bit and 64-bit. Select the corresponding version based on the operating system of your computer.
Click Windows 32 Bit or Windows 64 Bit To Go To The download page. If you click the previous project name, such as Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, the detailed information page of the IDE is displayed, as shown in:
The entire page is divided into three parts: Downloads Home on the left lists the links to different released Eclipse versions, the intermediate Feature List shows the main plug-ins included in the IDE of this version, which is the Eclipse IDE for Java EEDevelopers we selected earlier, download li <x> nks on the right lists the Download links for different platforms. That is, we have mentioned three platforms, Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Each platform is divided into 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Select the corresponding version to go To the download page. The download page contains many links, including Bit Torrent FTP and many image sites. Due to the large number of users downloading Eclipse, in order to relieve the pressure on the master server, many image sites are provided. The system automatically selects the best image site based on the IP address of the user's computer, as shown in:
Click the BeijingInstitute of Technology (http) link to start downloading. If you want to download the seeds through Bit Torrent, click the BitTorrent link below to download the seeds, and then use BitTorrent to download the seeds. The downloaded file is in the zip format. Eclipse is not in the form of an installation package. You can directly decompress the package and run it. We have already discussed JDK configuration. If JDK is configured as mentioned above, you can directly run the eclipse.exe program.
2. Configure Eclipse
In Eclipse, Android Development Environment configuration mainly includes the installation of ADT (AndroidDevelopment Tools) and Android SDK. ADT installation: In the http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing gives a detailed description of how to install, in fact, the core idea is an ADT installation link. Select Help> Install New Software from the Eclipse menu, as shown in:
Click the "Add" button in the upper-right corner to Add the "ADT" to the Location column. You can enter or not enter the Name column in the Location column. Click "OK. As shown in:
If you have successfully accessed a server related to Google, the obtained ADT plug-in information is displayed. Select the check box, as shown in:
Click "Next" to display the details, as shown in:
Click "Next" with the mouse and ask the user to agree to the License. By default, the "Finish" button below does not agree, and the above License is selected, click the "Finish" button below, as shown in:
Then enter the ADT download and installation process, according to the user's network speed please wait patiently. As shown in:
An unsigned plug-in will be prompted in the middle. Click "OK" to agree, as shown in:
Once the download and installation are successful, you will be prompted to restart Eclipse. Click the "RestartNow" button to restart Eclipse, as shown in:
Note:If the installation and download process in the above fails, just repeat the above process on the line, if you can not access the https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/, then try with the http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse, generally, one or both links can be used. If you enter the same link for re-installation, an error may be reported, as shown in:
You need to clean up. Click the link Available Software Sites, as shown in:
The Available Software Sites interface is displayed, as shown in:
Make sure that the link address of the ADT is checked, as shown in. Then, click the "Remove" button on the right to delete the link. Then, click the "OK" button on the lower right.
3. Android SDK Installation
The latest Android SDK:
Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X are supported. Select a version based on the operating system environment of your computer. This SDK is not 32-bit or 64-bit, because the Android operating system is a 32-bit Linux environment. Windows platform has two versions. Although the version in the form of the installation package is recommended, it is of little significance. We can simply use the zip file version, click the link android-sdk_r18-windows.zip to download it. Decompress the zip file and put it in your favorite directory.
Open the Preferences Window from the Eclipse menu Window> Preferences, click Android on the left, and then click "Browse" on the right to set the location of the Android SDK, the location after the Android SDK is decompressed, as shown in:
Click "OK" in the lower right corner. In this way, the AndroidSDK is configured.
