<p>The Android SDK separates tools, platforms, and other components into packages you can
|
|
download using the Android SDK Manager. The original
|
|
SDK package you've downloaded includes only the SDK Tools. To develop an Android app,
|
|
you also need to download at least one Android platform and the latest SDK Platform-tools.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Launch the SDK Manager.
|
|
<p>If you've used the Windows installer to install the SDK tools, you should already have the
|
|
Android SDK Manager open. Otherwise, you can launch the Android SDK Manager in one of the following
|
|
ways:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>On Windows, double-click the <code>SDK Manager.exe</code> file at the root of the Android
|
|
SDK directory.</li>
|
|
<li>On Mac or Linux, open a terminal and navigate to the <code>tools/</code> directory in the
|
|
Android SDK, then execute <code>android sdk</code>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The SDK Manager shows all the SDK packages available for you to add to your Android SDK.
|
|
As a minimum configuration for your SDK, we recommend you install the following:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The latest Tools packages (check the <strong>Tools</strong> folder).</li>
|
|
<li>The latest version of Android (check the first <strong>Android</strong> folder).</li>
|
|
<li>The Android Support Library (open the <strong>Extras</strong> folder and check
|
|
<strong>Android Support Library</strong>).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once you've chosen your packages, click <strong>Install</strong>. The Android SDK Manager
|
|
installs the selected packages into your Android SDK environment.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>With these packages installed, you're ready to start developing.
