Therefore, your mind is full of creativity to create an app to quench users’ thirst. Do some cool images come to mind where you can see unbeatable downloads? Where are you stuck? Are you into learning how to code a successful Android app?

Learning is a never-ending process and if you have that hunger in you, no task is unattainable. Android app development can be a daunting task, especially if you are a beginner. In-depth knowledge is required to begin the development process. Some of the terms you may not be familiar with appear, but a special thanks to Google, which makes our task so much easier. Take a deep sigh of relief and fasten your seat belt for a big, bumpy scramble ahead.

Step 1: Selection of the Operating System

An operating system is the most important software that runs on a computer. It is a means of communication between the programmer and the computer itself. The proper selection of OS (Operating System) depends on the scope of your project. There are three main operating systems that rule the world of the Internet: Linux, Windows and Mac.

Linux is the preferred operating system for most developers, but if you are new to it, go for the Windows operating system. Once you have made your selection, you can continue to the next step of installing Android Studio.

Step 2: Download and install Android Studio

Android Studio is the most used ‘Integrated Development Environment’ owned by Google. IDE is a platform where you can see the code you write and see the results right there. After downloading Android Studio, you can finish the installation process to see a screen where you can run your codes.

You can also use a common editor to run the codes, but why ignore the specialty of this IDE? It is specifically designed for Android code and application.

Step 3: Download the Java Development Kit (JDK)

After downloading Android Studio, the next important software is the JDK. The programming language that will be used to develop the Android application will be JAVA. Therefore, to use Android Studio, the JDK must be installed, which can be downloaded here. Follow the instructions carefully to install. Once done, your Android Studio is ready to be launched.

Another deciding factor is the user interface in which you want to see the output of your code. There are two options open to you: the emulator or the real-time device.

An Android emulator is a virtual Android device that will look exactly like your Android device and can be used to run and test your code. If you have chosen to test your code on a live device, you need to reinstall the driver that supports it.

Step 4: Starting your first project

You are now all set to start your new Android Studio project. Enter the name of the project you are waiting for and after successful completion, you can upload it to the Google Play Store.

Naming your project needs to be clever enough because this will be the file that all users will see. While thinking about the app, you may have decided on the platform it will run on i.e; Phone or tablet.

Step 5: The Home Page for the Final Project

Once the app you’re creating opens, you can see a message that says, “Hello world.” This is the smallest program that all developers do while learning a new technology. From this you can start coding your desired project in mind. It can be a job listing app or a taxi booking app or even a bookstore.

Finally jumping to reality

Not all apps are successful and get good reviews. A bit of marketing coupled with a user-friendly experience is something to focus on more. Furthermore, JAVA is a language that requires a deep sense of knowledge. Practicing is the best possible way to succeed.
