... [Show More] version of the course, which is about 60 hours. In that you will learn everything that you need for a successful career in Android app app development. In the final section of this course we will create one real world application from scratch. We will combine all of our knowledge about Android app development with our Android knowledge. We are going to set up the environment that we need in order to create Android applications. We're going to install few things. First of all, we are to install Java Development Kit or as some might call it JDK. And after everything we are. going to create a virtual device in. order to test our Android apps. And of course a lot more. Android Studio and all of its SDKs might take something like 20 or even 40 gigabytes. So make sure to have at least 20 gigabytes on the drive that you are going to install your Android Studio. After the download is finished, this is going to be a simple installation process.
For developing Android applications, you need to install at least one SDK. The latest version of Android is Android 10 or aka level 29. I suggest that you always install the latest version. But sometimes there might be some preview versions in here. I do n't suggest installing those because those can be buggy. In this version of SDKs, there were a lot of changes. But if you don't have the proper resources, selecting one of these is going to be just fine. Make sure to have a stable internet connection because it 's going to download some stuff. After the downloading and installing all of the components that you have selected, just click on this apply. You can always install and test your applications on the real device that you have. Besides the native Android emulator, you can install external emulators as well for example. You can also change the theme Dracula is the dark theme and intelligent theme is the light theme. If you want you can use custom fonts for the fonts of your Windows is from here.
AV D stands for Android virtual device. From here you can create your own and customize the hardware by selecting this new hardware profile. You can also set the screen size and resolution and all sorts of sensors and hardwares. I 'm going to install Android q or API level 29 on this device , so we need to download that first. We are going to create our first application we can do so by opening Android Studio and selecting this start a new Android Studio project. The Android team are nice guys , and they have provided us these templates. Don't worry about all these because we will learn how to create all of these elements ourselves later on. The convention in here is to provide the name of your website in backwards. For example, My website is called maker. org. So my package name is or dot maker dot the name. This package name should be unique to every application that is being released into the world. later on. After that, you need to define the path that you want to save your project. Android applications can be written with Java language, or kotlin language. [Show Less]
