| <p>Welcome to Android application development!</p> |
| |
| <p>This class teaches you how to build your first Android app. You’ll learn how to create an Android |
| project and run a debuggable version of the app. You'll also learn some fundamentals of Android app |
| design, including how to build a simple user interface and handle user input.</p> |
| |
| <p>Before you start this class, be sure you have your development environment set up. You need |
| to:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Download the Android SDK.</li> |
| <li>Install the ADT plugin for Eclipse (if you’ll use the Eclipse IDE).</li> |
| <li>Download the latest SDK tools and platforms using the SDK Manager.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>If you haven't already done these tasks, start by downloading the |
| <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/index.html">Android SDK</a> and following the install steps. |
| Once you've finished the setup, you're ready to begin this class.</p> |
| |
| <p>This class uses a tutorial format that incrementally builds a small Android app that teaches |
| you some fundamental concepts about Android development, so it's important that you follow each |
| step.</p> |
