Part-2: Requirement for Android Developing

Hello all!

My name is Sunnat. From today, I am going to share my experience about the Android developing. I am neither an advanced developer nor tutor. I just started learning Android and want to share my knowledge with you. You can also help me if I will do anything wrong and I will be very happy if you'll also give me some tips about it.

Enough Talk.. :D

Lets start learning. When I started to learn, it was really hard for me. I didn't know how to make a good environment for my PC and Laptop to develop Android. I spent two days to make the environment. Don't worry, I make it easy for you. So here's the steps to make a good environment for Android.

SKILLs

It's better for android developer to know the JAVA. Because Android is a platform of Java.

First of all you have to setup Java Platform (JDK). If you are using x64 bit Operating System then please download the version for x64 neither x86. But I suggest to download the version for x86, because eclipse (which will use for android developing) can easily find the path and ready to work.

Here's the link. (Always try to download the latest version)

After download the jdk, setup this. Now it's time to make the path of java. I am using Windows OS. So this steps are only for Windows users.

- Go to the properties of  My Computer and click the Advanced system settings.

- Now Advanced tab and notice the bottom, there is a option call Environment Variables.

- click New (top one) of User variables for *User-ID* and put the variable name "PATH" and variable value "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin" (the jdk version for x86) then click OK, again OK and for the last time another OK. :p

- Now my first part is complete. For ensuring go to cmd and type javac. If everything is alright then it will show like Pic-1 neither like Pic-2

Secondly

It's time to download the Android Developer Tools. There are two very attractive SDKs for android developing.

01. ADT Bundle (again I suggest to download the version of 32bit though your OS is 64bit)

02. Android Studio (The interface and features will steal your heart but it has still many bugs)

Please download one of the ADT. But I've Recommended you to use the ADT Bundle where eclipse is using and most of us use eclipse for programming.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Now take a deep breathe. Your difficult job has finished. Today this is the end. In Sha ALLAH very soon I will post my Part-2 tutorial about Android. Till then bye and be happy. :D
