Android Application Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Android Applications run on many of today’s mobile (smart) phones. More and more the Internet traffic of the world arises because of mobile phone usage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This video is a primer showing a “stream-of-consciousness” view of installing the necessary software components on a Windows laptop in order to create an Android Application that will run on many of today’s (smart) mobile phones. These components, for my setup, include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Java Runtime Environment<\/li>\n
  2. Eclipse IDE<\/li>\n
  3. Android SDK<\/li>\n
  4. Android ADT Plugin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When doing your research and development on your favourite search engine enter<\/p>\n

    “Android SDK” “Eclipse” “Java”<\/p>\n

    to find out more. Here is one good relevant page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Below is a summary of the “slides” of the video<\/a> above (NB. as you install you may come across some\/all of these scenarios, but it may or may not be in the order shown in this video):<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Download Java Runtime<\/li>\n
    2. Eclipse Zip File<\/li>\n
    3. Android SDK Manager<\/li>\n
    4. Eclipse ADT Plugin<\/li>\n
    5. Android App: Configure Launcher Icon<\/li>\n
    6. Android App: activity_main.xml<\/li>\n
    7. Android App: Run As – Android Application<\/li>\n
    8. Android App: MainActivity.java<\/li>\n
    9. Android App: Simulator Loading<\/li>\n
    10. Android App: Uploading and Installing the .apk<\/li>\n
    11. Android App: Hello World! on Simulator<\/li>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Word of advice is that the simulator can be quite slow, and you may (really) need to wait for it!<\/p>\n
