Basic tutorial on Android for techSoc.

1. Welcome!

2. For next few classes we are
going to learn basics to build
and Android App.

3. You need java platform to build Android
App with any IDE.
So if you don't have one:
Java JRE or JDK:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/index.html
(sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre for Linux)

4. Problems?
Java JRE or JDK: check this out
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/
for Linux try something like:
tar xzvf ~/Downloads/jdk-7u<your version>-linux-x64.tar.gz
sudo mv jdk1.7.0_21/ /usr/lib/jvm/
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_<your
version>/bin/java 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_<your
version>/bin/javac 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_<your
version>/bin/javaws 1
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javaws

5. IDEs: Android Studio or Eclipse
(Android Development Tools plugin)
Eclipse – less bugs, but a bit tricky to install.(can
also be used for java development)
For new guys in Eclipse, better to install ADT
plugin which comes with eclipse and all settings
Android Studio – a lot bugs(yet), very easy to set
up, better app design tools, worse geo coordinates
tracking on virual device.

6. Eclipse ADT (for guys new to Eclipse):
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-
adt.html#Download
Android Studio:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html#Updating
Eclipse (and want to follow few steps of upgrading it on
slides below):
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-
developers/indigosr2
would recommend Classic:
(http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-classic-
422/junosr2)

7. Don't forget on Linux you need to
install IA32 library as well.
(sudo apt-get install ia32-libs).

8. Next few slides are for guys who
have Eclipse on their computer or are
not going to set up Eclipse ADT for
some reason.

9. <Help> → <Install New

Tools
download any
SDK version
depending on
your device.

16. You can check Android
version in your settings,
for better deployment.

it.

Android 2.2

21. You could

bitch.
Install it.

22. Congrats if you are getting
something like this.

23. Run your App

24. Enable USB debugging
on your device to run
your apps on it.
Connect your phone
through USB.

25. You prob are getting
this alert on your
phone.
Guess what? Accept
it.

26. However if you don't have
Android phone or you are
working with geo locations,
you can use Virtual Device.

27. Press Android Virtual Device Manager
button next to SDK Manager.
Press New.

28. Pick name,
Target and
Device you wish
Click on device
you created and
press Start.

29. As noted earlier, if
you are working

I would
recommend to use
Eclipse IDE, as
you can put
coordinates
directly on VD.

something like this
on your phone.
Accept it.

31. Now run app we
created recently.
