If your phone is supported on Google's
Android environment, and you have some Java development experience
under your belt, you're in success. Armed with this article and a
couple of afternoon's worth of tinkering, you'll be well on your way
to Android apps development popularity. Or, at least, have the
knowhow and the toolset, with some working code for further
discovery.
So don’t waste your time jump into
the race of Android
Application Development game. This not hopes but is truth. Check
your system for compatibility to run the android apps development
tools.
If you have a recent Intel Mac, you're
all set for Android development. If you're on any recent distribution
of Linux on a system with about 2 GB of RAM, you're also good. On
PCs, you need to have Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7. The system
used to develop this article is a Windows 7 64-bit system, with 8 GB
of RAM and plenty of disk space.
IT is has also compatibility with
Linux, When I tested Ubuntu desktop 64-bit, there were multiple
missing 32-bit runtime library problems that must be installed.
Download and install
Eclipse. It is the de-facto standard open source Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) for Java Development and it is free to
download and use. Make sure you find a Galileo (version 3.5.x) or
Ganymede (version 3.4.x) release. If you want to download older
version of java link at the Eclipse download page
(http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/) and you're fine.
Once you have Eclipse up and running,
you need two additional Android specific downloads before cranking
out new Android
apps: the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) the Android
Development Tool (ADT) plug-in for Eclipse.
The SDK is just a ZIP or compressed TAR
file that you can anarchize into a location of your choice. Remember
this location, because the later ADT Plug-in installation will
require this location.
The ADT Plugin provides wizards,
automated workflows, and templates in Eclipse that makes Android
development a breeze. You can install the latest version inside
Eclipse. Make sure Eclipse is running, then select from menu
Help->Install New Software. When you see the Install New Software
wizard, click the Add button. Then enter the name of Android ADT, add
location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Next, you must create a target Android
emulator image. As you have probably noticed by now, Android phones
and devices come in all sort of shape and sizes. If you intend to
develop your software for public consumption, you'll need to code it
to different devices.
In this article, you will notice on an
Android 2.1 phone that you have in your hand. It has a QVGA (240x320)
display, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth.
