Tutorial How to Install Android Studio Correctly
Android Studio is an IDE based on IntelliJ IDEA used for Android application development. Released on May 15, 2013. This tool has many features that support Android application development, so that the application creation process becomes faster and more productive. "Preview Layout" displays the application rendering in real time, providing a new experience for developers in reviewing their work.
This tutorial will try to provide a complete, detailed lesson or review accompanied by practical steps.
As a minimum requirement for developing Android applications, you need to install the following two tools:
JDK (Oracle Java Development Kit) - Click Here
Please download both tools first via the link above. Especially for JDK, please adjust it yourself according to the specifications according to the operating system you are using, whether 32bit / 64bit.
Instruction Details:
Step 1. Install the Oracle Java Development Kit ("JDK")
Since Android applications are written in the Java programming language, you will need the Oracle Java compiler and several libraries on your system. These are collectively called the Java Development Kit or "JDK" for short.
Incidentally the system I use is Windows 32 bit
You will not be allowed to download the JDK until you change the license setting to Accept License Agreement, so please select that option.
Wait until the download process is completed
A common error occurs when you download the wrong tool, which should be JDK but instead JRE (Java Runtime Environment). JRE allows you to run Java programs but cannot compile.
Step 1. Install JDK Installer
After the JDK installer download process is complete, please execute it by following the default settings.
Dialogue 1 - Next
The first dialog displays a greeting and information that the Installer Wizard will guide you through the installation process.
Dialogue 2 - Next
The second dialog displays a list of features provided, you can change it right away or later in the Programs utility Control Panel. The features include JavaFX SDK, Private JRE, and Java Mission Control tools suite. If totaled the feature package is around 180MB. The location of the installation directory can also be changed. But my suggestion is to just use the default settings.
Dialogue 3 - Wait until the update process is complete
Dialogue 4 - Confirming whether the destination selection is as expected, - Next
Dialogue 5 - Wait until the installation process is complete
Dialog 6 - JDK installation complete, - Close
The installation is complete, and you can proceed to the next step to access tutorials, API documentation, developer guides, release notes, and more that can help you.
Step 2. Download and Install Android Studio IDE
Next is to install Android Studio. This is the official text editor of Android and Integrated Development Environment (IDE), so this application is integrated with the central developer. To be able to use this application / text editor, then you must have installed Oracle JDK before. So please do not do this step if you have not completed Step 1.
I assume that you have successfully downloaded the Android Studio Installer. Now it's time for you to execute.
Execute Android Studio installer
This installation process will take quite a while, as it has to install all the main components and libraries. You can follow the default settings during the installation setup.
Dialogue 1 - Opening sentence and suggestions - Next
It is recommended to close all running applications except this installer.
Dialog 2 - Component List - Next
Dialog 2 displays a list of available components, you can select which ones you want to install.
Dialogue 3 - License Agreement - I Agree
Dialog 3 displays the license and rules of the game, such as the terms and conditions that apply while using the application.
Dialogue 4 - Installation Destination - Next
Dialog 4 displays the Android Studio and Android SDK installation destination settings, just follow the defaults and click next.
Dialog 5 - Start menu options and shortcuts - Install
Dialogue 6 - Wait until the installation process is complete
Dialog 7 - Complete installation - Next
Dialogue 8 - Closing - Finish
Step 3. Configure Android Studio
Once Android Studio is installed for the first time on your PC, the next step is to configure it and install some additional features.
First, just jump straight into Android Studio, in this case it might take a while, it seems like the app needs to complete the initial installation and configuration, as well as download and update things that might be necessary.
After the Android Studio working window is open (running), then please load the "SDK Manager" menu. You can find it in the toolbar with an icon like the following:
SDK Manager Menu
The SDK Manager window has a series of sections that allow you to install various packages and additional features. Overall there are several categories, including Appearance & Behavior, Keymap, Editor, Plugins, Build Execution Development, and tools.
Next, make sure the checkbox in the bottom right bar "Show Package Details" is checked. and always check each android version to make sure that "Intel x86 Atom System Image" and "Google Api Intel x86 Atom System Image" are selected, because we will need them to run the emulator.
SDK Manager Window
Pay attention to the example image above! Always check each android version to make sure that "Intel x86 Atom System Image" and "Google Api Intel x86 Atom System Image" are selected, because we will need them to run the emulator.
License Agreement
After you have selected the required packages, the next step is to click Apply on the bottom right bar. Next you will be shown a confirmation dialog, just click OK. Next you will be shown a license agreement dialog or Terms and Conditions, select Accept then Next.
Wait until the download process is complete
Step 4. Create Virtual Device
To be able to run Android applications on your computer, you need to use "Virtual Device" as an emulation software from an Android phone or tablet. If you follow the default settings during installation, it will automatically create "Nexus X" as a device for you, so you don't need to do anything here. Hooray!
If you need more information about this, please visit the following link Android Studio - Managing Virtual Devices .
Okay, that's our review of how to install Android Studio on Windows 7 32 bit, hopefully it's useful and look forward to the next project still on the #Mobile_Programming tag.
