Setup Android studio

The steps for setting up Android development on Window , Linux and macOS are similar. Here’s a combined guide for all operating systems:

Step 1: Install Android Studio:

   – Download Android Studio from the [official website](https://developer.android.com/studio).

   – Follow the installation instructions provided for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

Step 2: Configure Android SDK:

   – When you first launch Android Studio, it will prompt you to install the Android SDK components.

   – Go through the setup process, and Android Studio will download and install the necessary components.

   – You can also open the SDK Manager from the “Configure” menu to manage SDK versions, platforms, and system images.

Step 3: Set up Emulator or Connect a Physical Device:

   – To set up an emulator, open the AVD Manager from the “Configure” menu and create a new Virtual Device.

Step 4: Configure System Environment Variables (Linux and macOS):

Linux/Mac:-

   – For Linux, open your shell profile file (e.g., `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`) using a text editor. For macOS, you can use the `.bash_profile` or `.zshrc`.

   – Add the following lines at the end of the file:

export JAVA_HOME=<path_to_your_jdk>

export ANDROID_HOME=<path_to_android_sdk>

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

   – Save and close the file.

   – Run `source .bashrc` (or the appropriate file for your shell) to apply the changes.

Window:-

Open the System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.

Add new system variables for JAVA_HOME pointing to your JDK installation directory and ANDROID_HOME pointing to your Android SDK directory.

Add %JAVA_HOME%\bin and %ANDROID_HOME%\tools to the Path variable.

Step 5: Install Java Development Kit (JDK):

   – Android development requires a Java Development Kit (JDK). Download and install the latest JDK from the [official Oracle website](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html) or search OpenJDK.

   – Set the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable to the JDK installation directory.

Step 6: Verify Installation:

   – Open a terminal and run the following commands to verify your Java and Android installations:

     java -version

     javac -version

     adb version

Step 7: Install Platform Tools:

   – Ensure that the Android SDK includes the latest version of the Android Platform Tools. You can install or update them using the SDK Manager in Android Studio.

Step 8: Create a Sample Android Project:

   – Open Android Studio.

   – Create a new Android project or open an existing one.

   – Follow the project setup wizard to configure the project settings.

Step 9: Run the App:

   – Connect a device or start an emulator.

   – Click the “Run” button in Android Studio to deploy and run your app on the selected device.

Now, You can now start building and testing Android apps using Android Studio.
