‫-: Hi. From this point on we are going to download the SDK
‫which is Software Developed Kit for Android
‫and this is the same thing for Mac and Windows.
‫So I'm going to go over and continue with my Mac.
‫And don't worry,
‫the installation process is exactly the same.
‫So we have standard or custom over here.
‫We are gonna go with custom so
‫that I can explain all the settings.
‫In standard, it just downloads everything as it is.
‫In custom, you get to choose what you want, like this.
‫If you want a dark theme, you can go for this,
‫or if you want a light theme, you can go for this.
‫I generally prefer dark theme
‫but this time I'm gonna go for light theme
‫so that you can see it better since I'm recording my screen.
‫So in here we're gonna download the SDK,
‫which is Software Development Kit,
‫the files and folder that we need in order
‫to develop Android applications.
‫So over here, make sure that you choose everything like SDK
‫platforms like Android Virtual Device, Performance, HAXM.
‫So I'm going to explain all of those things. Don't worry.
‫First of all, make sure you select everything.
‫Maybe it's not even uncheckable for you, it doesn't matter.
‫Just make sure you select it.
‫Sometimes over here in the Intel HAXM system
‫you may get an error if you don't have Intel processor,
‫if you have AMD for example.
‫And don't worry about that.
‫I'm going to explain what to do in that case as well.
‫But if you can check it, just check it and download it.
‫And for Android virtual device we definitely want it,
‫it's our emulator. It's our simulator.
‫That is a software that simulates the real
‫Android phones so that we can test the codes
‫that we are writing in that virtual device.
‫And over here you get to choose your SDK location.
‫Generally you don't pay attention to these details
‫but this time it's important.
‫You don't have to have like a space or something
‫like a different character than a Latin character over here.
‫Okay? Otherwise it won't work.
‫So make sure you don't have any spaces
‫or any other funny characters over here.
‫If you have it, just choose another location or else
‫it won't work for you.
‫So as you can see, I don't have anything like that.
‫So I'm going to say next.
‫And here we see the emulator settings.
‫So this is the simulator that I was talking about
‫and it's asking for my allocation of RAM.
‫So this time it, it recommends two gigabytes over here
‫and I have eight gigabytes in my computer.
‫So I'm fine with two gigabytes.
‫But if you have less, you can decrease this number from here
‫like this one gigabyte or two gigabytes.
‫So depending on your system
‫you can choose to allocate one gigabyte, two gigabytes.
‫I believe two gigabytes is actually the optimum
‫if you have more than six gigabyte of RAM on your computer.
‫Okay, so I'm gonna go for this.
‫Don't worry, you can change this afterwards
‫because there are settings page
‫for the virtual device as well.
‫I'm gonna show you how to do that.
‫As you can see, there are a lot of things to download
‫and if you hit finish over here,
‫it will take a while because it's like
‫a gigabytes of data over here.
‫It will take some time.
‫Feel free to pause the video and get your tea or coffee
‫because we are gonna get into the Android development
‫as soon as we are done with this installation
‫in the next lecture.
