8. It‟s pretty easy:
First:
• Download Java
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/do
wnloads/index.html) and install it;
• Download Eclipse
(http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/) and install it;
• Download the Android SDK
(http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) and
unzip it.
In Eclipse, add the Android plugin:
• Go in Help/install New software. Click Add and
set Android and https://dl-
ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
• Select all the elements, click next and finish.
Restart Eclipse :
• In WindowPreference select Android et set the
Android SDK path (the folder in which you unzip
the Android SDK)
Ok, it‟s done, you can code Android program.

9. Now open the SDK Manager
And launch the update/installation (Android SDK Tools,
platform-tools, SDK, documentation,…).
A long download is waiting for you.
Then define Android Virtual Device (Emulator) for tests.

10. Now open the SDK Manager
A quick glance at the window.

11. Open the AVD window.

12. Open the AVD window.
Select new.
Define a new Emulator:
• Name
• Target
• SD card size
• Skin (resolution)
• Hardware

40. Shallow heap is the memory consumed by one object. GC Root
S=100
Retained set of X is the set of objects which would be R=400
removed by GC when X is garbage collected.
Retained heap of X is the sum of shallow sizes of all objects
in the retained set of X, i.e. memory kept alive by X.
Generally speaking, shallow heap of an object is its size in the
heap and retained size of the same object is the amount of S=100 S=100
heap memory that will be freed when the object is garbage R=200 R=100
collected.
S=100
R=100
