  2. Outline • 1.Installation of the Android development tools • 2.Standalone ADT installation • 3.Installing Android API version and the source code • 4.Updating an existing Eclipse installation • 5.Android installation verification • 6.Tutorial: Create and run Android Virtual Device • 7.Accessing the Android source code in Eclipse

  3. 1.Installation of the Android development tools • Android provides a standalone customized Eclipse download for Android development or the possibility to update an existing Eclipse installation with additional plug-ins.

  4. 2.Standalone ADT installation • Google provides a pre-packaged and configured Eclipse based Android development environment. • The following link allows to download a archive file which includes all required tools for Android development. • http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

  5. 3.Installing Android API version and the source code • The Android SDK Manager allows you to install specific versions of Android. • SelectWindow → Android SDK Managerfrom the Eclipse menu.

  6. 3.Installing Android API version and the source code • Select Available packages and open the Third Party Add-ons. Select the latest Google API (highest number) of the SDK and press the Install button. The following screenshot shows the API 16 but if there is a never version available install this version.

  7. 3.Installing Android API version and the source code

  8. 4.Updating an existing Eclipse installation • The Android SDK is 32bit, therefore on a 64bit Linux system you need to have the package ia32-libs installed. For Ubuntu you can do this via the following command. • “apt-get install ia32-libs”

  9. 4.Updating an existing Eclipse installation • Use the Eclipse update manager via Help → Install new software to install all available components for the Android Development Tools (ADT) from the following URL: • “https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ “

  10. 4.Updating an existing Eclipse installation • After the new Android development comp-onentsare installed, you will be prompted to install the Android SDK. • You can use the following wizard or go to the next section to learn how to do it manually.

  11. 4.Updating an existing Eclipse installation

  12. 4.Updating an existing Eclipse installation • After the installation of the ADT the Eclipse tooling allows to download the Android SDK automatically. Alternatively you can also manually download the Android SDK from the Android SDK download page. • http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

  13. 4.Updating an existing Eclipse installation • The download contains a zip file, which you can extract to any place in your file system, e.g. on my Linux system I placed it into the /home/vogella/android-sdks folder. Avoid using spaces in the path name, otherwise you may experience problems with the usage of the Android SDK. • You also have to define the location of the Android SDK in the Eclipse Preferences. In Eclipse open the Preferences dialog via the menu Window → Preferences. Select Android and enter the installation path of the Android SDK.

  14. 4.Updating an existing Eclipse installation

  15. 5. Android installation verification • The best way to verify that your installation did work correctly is to create an Android Virtual device. • Please follow the instructions below and make sure that the device actually can start otherwise you will face issues during the training.

  16. 6.Tutorial: Create and run Android Virtual Device • Create AVD • To define an Android Virtual Device (ADV) open the AVD Manager dialog via Window → Android Virtual Device Manager and press the New button.

  17. 6.Tutorial: Create and run Android Virtual Device • Enter the values similar to the following screenshot.

  18. 6.Tutorial: Create and run Android Virtual Device • Run AVD

  19. 7.Accessing the Android source code in Eclipse • During Android development it is useful to have access to the Android source code. • You can download the Android source code via the Android SDK Manager by selecting the Sources for Android SDK.

  20. 7.Accessing the Android source code in Eclipse

  21. 7.Accessing the Android source code in Eclipse • The sources are stored in the path_to_android_sdk/sources/android-xx directory. . xx is the API level of Android, e.g. 17 for the Android 4.2 version. • To connect the sources with the your android.jar file in your Android project, right-click on your android.jar in thePackage Explorerview and select Properties → Java Source Attachment. Select External location and press theExternal Folder button. Browser to the path_to_android_sdk/sources/android-xx location and press the OK button.
