Next step is to install the SDK MANAGER. The wizard will guide you through the initial setup first. 1
Just choose your UI theme, next. 2
Review the settings. 3
Make sure JDK location is correct. 4
Don't worry about this too much. 5
You can change it at a later stage. 6
Actually here it will download the latest SDK version automatically so we'll go to Google servers and 7
see what version is available. 8
Now there's a warning about hardware acceleration. 9
We will discuss this later on when setting up an emulator. 10
Click next and it will start downloading components. 11
This will take some time. 12
Your downloading huge files over here so let's just give it some time OK. 13
The process is complete. Once it finishes, 14
just click finish. So we've installed the prerequisites including the latest SDK. 15
But let's have a look at the SDK manager. So there's an SDK for every Android release. 16
In this case let's download an old version just to show you the process of downloading an older SDK. 17
OK so here we're going to go quite a while back. 18
Android four point one which is Android SDK version sixteen we're doing this because in a later exercise 19
we'll work with old malware. 20
So just to be safe we'll run it on an old Android device. 21
So after installing this SDK version you should have the latest version as well as version 16. 22
You can download as many as you want. 23
Accept all the terms and conditions. You have to accept the terms and conditions for each of the warnings 24
Actually before that. 25
Let's go to show package details. 26
So if you click on the show package details it will show you what is being downloaded for the specific 27
version. So let's go to the Android version four point one and let's see what we're going to download 28
for this SDK. 29
So we're going to select everything. 30
Here you can see the system image, system image will let us run the android emulator. 31
We'll see this in the next lesson. 32
Just click and accept all the terms and conditions or read the terms and conditions and then accept 33
them. 34
Make sure to accept them for all the components click next and again give it some time to download. 35
It will take some time since you're downloading large files so just click finish. So far we have the 36
latest version which was downloaded automatically and now we have an old version which is extremely 37
old. Version four point one so we'll be able to run the emulator of both versions.
