Simple Setup
Step 1 - Download the Java Runtime Environment
if you don't have one already!
Step 2 - I recommend you download the SDK
Bundle instead of downloading the tools
separately.
Step 3 - If you chose not to download the bundle,
download Android SDK, Eclipse and then from
within Eclipse, Install the ADT Plugin and you will
be ready to go.
Android: What Comes In The Box
Every Android SDK Download Comes With :
a.The Android APIs
b.Development Tools
c.The Android Emulator
d.Full Documentation
e.Sample Code
f. Online Support
Types of Android Applications
● Foreground Activity
○ Only useful when in foreground
● Background Activity
○ Limited interaction except during config
● Intermittent Activity
○ Expects interaction but works background
Your Very First Activity
Every Activity is a subclass of the Activity class
The simplest Android application project will have
an activity like this:
import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle;
public class HelloWorld extends Activity{
/*called when activity is created*/
@override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle){
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
