| |
| <p>The steps below provide an overview of how to get started with the Android |
| SDK. For detailed instructions, start with the <a |
| href="{@docRoot}sdk/installing.html">Installing the SDK</a> guide. </p> |
| |
| <p><strong>1. Prepare your development computer</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>Read the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/requirements.html">System Requirements</a> |
| document and make sure that your development computer meets the hardware and |
| software requirements for the Android SDK. Install any additional software |
| needed before downloading the Android SDK. In particular, you may need to |
| install the <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp">JDK</a> |
| (version 5 or 6 required) and <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">Eclipse</a> |
| (version 3.4 or 3.5, needed only if you want develop using the ADT Plugin). |
| |
| <p><strong>2. Download and install the SDK starter package</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>Select a starter package from the table at the top of this page and download |
| it to your development computer. To install the SDK, simply unpack the starter |
| package to a safe location and then add the location to your PATH. </p> |
| |
| <p><strong>3. Install the ADT Plugin for Eclipse</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>If you are developing in Eclipse, set up a remote update site at |
| <code>https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/</code>. Install the Android |
| Development Tools (ADT) Plugin, restart Eclipse, and set the "Android" |
| preferences in Eclipse to point to the SDK install location. For detailed |
| instructions, see <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/eclipse-adt.html">ADT Plugin |
| for Eclipse</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p><strong>4. Add Android platforms and other components to your SDK</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>Use the Android SDK and AVD Manager, included in the SDK starter package, to |
| add one or more Android platforms (for example, Android 1.6 or Android 2.0) and |
| other components to your SDK. If you aren't sure what to add, see <a |
| href="installing.html#which">Which components do I need?</a></p> |
| |
| <p>To launch the Android SDK and AVD Manager on Windows, execute <code>SDK |
| Setup.exe</code>, at the root of the SDK directory. On Mac OS X or Linux, |
| execute the <code>android</code> tool in the <code><sdk>/tools/</code> |
| folder. For detailed instructions, see <a |
| href="{@docRoot}sdk/adding-components.html">Adding SDK Components</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p><strong>Done!</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>If you are new to Android, you can use the <a |

| get started quickly. <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/installing.html#NextSteps">Next |
