Step 1 - System Requirements

You will be delighted, to know that you can start your Android application
development on either of the following operating systems −

 Microsoft® Windows® 10/8/7/Vista/2003 (32 or 64-bit)


 Mac® OS X® 10.8.5 or higher, up to 10.9 (Mavericks)
 GNOME or KDE desktop
Second point is that all the required tools to develop Android applications are open
source and can be downloaded from the Web. Following is the list of software's you
will need before you start your Android application programming.

 Java JDK5 or later version


 Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6
 Android Studio

Step 2 - Setup Android Studio


Overview

Android Studio is the official IDE for android application development.It works based
on IntelliJ IDEA, You can download the latest version of android studio
from Android Studio 2.2 Download, If you are new to installing Android Studio on
windows,you will find a file, which is named as android-studio-bundle-143.3101438-
windows.exe.So just download and run on windows machine according to android
studio wizard guideline.
If you are installing Android Studio on Mac or Linux, You can download the latest
version from Android Studio Mac Download,or Android Studio Linux Download,
check the instructions provided along with the downloaded file for Mac OS and
Linux. This tutorial will consider that you are going to setup your environment on
Windows machine having Windows 8.1 operating system.

Installation
So let's launch Android Studio.exe,Make sure before launch Android Studio, Our
Machine should required installed Java JDK. To install Java JDK,take a references
of Android environment setup
Once you launched Android Studio, its time to mention JDK7 path or later version in
android studio installer.

Below the image initiating JDK to android SDK


Need to check the components, which are required to create applications, below the
image has selected Android Studio, Android SDK, Android Virtual
Machine and performance(Intel chip).
Need to specify the location of local machine path for Android studio and Android
SDK, below the image has taken default location of windows 8.1 x64 bit
architecture.

Need to specify the ram space for Android emulator by default it would take 512MB
of local machine RAM.
At final stage, it would extract SDK packages into our local machine, it would take a
while time to finish the task and would take 2626MB of Hard disk space.

After done all above steps perfectly, you must get finish button and it gonna be
open android studio project with Welcome to android studio message as shown
below
You can start your application development by calling start a new android studio
project. in a new installation frame should ask Application name, package
information and location of the project.
After entered application name, it going to be called select the form factors your
application runs on, here need to specify Minimum SDK, in our tutorial, I have
declared as API23: Android 6.0(Mashmallow)

The next level of installation should contain selecting the activity to mobile, it
specifies the default layout for Applications

At the final stage it going to be open development tool to write the application code.
Step 3 - Create Android Virtual Device
To test your Android applications, you will need a virtual Android device. So before
we start writing our code, let us create an Android virtual device. Launch Android
AVD Manager Clicking AVD_Manager icon as shown below

After Click on a virtual device icon, it going to be shown by default virtual devices
which are present on your SDK, or else need to create a virtual device by
clicking Create new Virtual device button
If your AVD is created successfully it means your environment is ready for Android
application development. If you like, you can close this window using top-right cross
button. Better you re-start your machine and once you are done with this last step,
you are ready to proceed for your first Android example but before that we will see
few more important concepts related to Android Application Development.

Hello Word Example


Before Writing a Hello word code, you must know about XML tags.To write hello
word code, you should redirect to App>res>layout>Activity_main.xml

To show hello word, we need to call text view with layout ( about text view and
layout, you must take references at Relative Layout and Text View ).
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<TextView android:text="@string/hello_world"
android:layout_width="550dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
Need to run the program by clicking Run>Run App or else need to
call shift+f10key. Finally, result should be placed at Virtual devices as shown below
