Installing Android Studio

By Steven Castellucci (v2.0, January 2018)

You can develop Android applications on your own computer. The steps below will guide you on downloading, installing, and configuring the needed tools.  Note: The screenshots below were taken on a Windows machine, but the instructions also apply to systems running Linux or OS X.

1.     Download Android Studio

To develop Android applications, you need an IDE, Android SDK tools, and Android APIs.  The Android Studio bundle contains all these components.  An open-source JDK is also included, so you do not need to download it separately.  The Android Studio installer can be downloaded at the following URL:

https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

Click “Download Android Studio”, accept the terms and conditions, and proceed with the download. 

The download might take a while, as it is about 700 MB.  Run the installer after the download is finished.

 

2.     Install Android Studio

When running the installer, we recommend using the default values, as shown below.  Once installed, Android Studio will run, and launch a setup wizard to download additional components. 

        

    

3.     Run Android Studio Setup Wizard

When you first start Android Studio, it will offer to import any previous settings.  Since this is likely your first installation, there are no settings to import.  Again, just accept the default option and continue.

 

Next, select the UI theme.  Choose whichever one you prefer -- this is simply a matter of preference.  On the next screen, select the option to install an Android Virtual Device.  You will need an actual Android device for this course, but this virtual device can be useful. 

 

Accept the recommended RAM size for the emulator, and click “Next” to see a summary of the components to be downloaded.  The additional components total about 1.8 GB in size. 

 

When the download begins, the progress bar might appear to freeze, but do not worry -- the download is progressing.  Once installation is complete, click “Finish”.

4.     Begin Developing

With Android Studio installed, you may now develop Android applications.  From here, you can continue with other course guides, tutorials, or exercises.
