Learn how to get started with Android and Android Studio in this short tutorial.
It demonstrates how to install Android Studio (Google’s official Android IDE)
and create your first Android app.
Android Studio installation:
Linux
Different ways:
● From the Software Manager application
● From the official web page
○ An stable version
● A Canary version:
○ If you want early access to the next version of Android Studio.
○ More info here and here.

Android Studio installation
• Installation for Linux: How to?
1. Unpack the tar.gz file you downloaded to an appropriate location for your
applications, such as within /usr/local/ for your user profile, or /opt/ for shared users.
If you're using a 64-bit version of Linux, make sure you first install the required libraries
for 64-bit machines.
2.To launch Android Studio, open a terminal, navigate to the android-studio/bin/
directory, and execute studio.sh.
3.Select whether you want to import previous Android Studio settings or not, then click
OK.
4.The Android Studio Setup Wizard guides you through the rest of the setup, which
includes downloading Android SDK components that are required for development.

Android Studio features
Android Studio is a new Android development environment based on IntelliJ
IDEA. It provides new features and improvements over Eclipse ADT and it is the
official Android IDE. On top of the capabilities you expect from IntelliJ, Android
Studio offers:
● Flexible Gradle-based build system.
● Build variants and multiple APK generation.
● Expanded template support for Google Services and various device types.
● Rich layout editor with support for theme editing.
● Lint tools to analyze your code, improving performance, usability, version
compatibility and solving other problems.
● ProGuard and app-signing capabilities.
● Built-in support for Firebase services, making it easy to include and manage
Firebase projects from your Android Studio framework
● Built-in support for GIT Control Version System.
● IntelliJ IDEA: Providing intelligent coding and framework-specific assistance
for Java
Android Studio features
• Flexible Gradle-based build system.-
Gradle is build automation evolved. Gradle can automate the
building, testing, publishing, deployment and more of software
packages or other types of projects such as generated static
websites, generated documentation or indeed anything else.

Android Studio features
• Lint tools to catch performance, usability, version
compatibility, and other problems.
The Android lint tool is a static code analysis tool that checks
your Android project source files for potential bugs and
optimization improvements for correctness, security,
performance, usability, accessibility, and internationalization.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/lint.html
Android Studio features
• ProGuard and app-signing capabilities
The ProGuard tool shrinks, optimizes, and obfuscates your
code by removing unused code and renaming classes, fields,
and methods with semantically obscure names. The result is a
smaller sized .apk file that is more difficult to reverse engineer.
• http://developer.android.com/tools/help/proguard.html
An example: Reducing code for compilation
Android Studio features
• IntelliJ IDEA
○ Designed to maximize developer productivity.
○ Together, intelligent coding assistance and ergonomic
design make development not only productive but also
enjoyable.
○ Instant and clever code completion, on-the-fly code analysis

What is Firebase?
Firebase is a platform for mobile developers to develop awesome-quality apps,
quickly grow a user base, and monetize apps. It includes a hell lot of features, that
developers can use to fulfill their goals. Let’s discuss some of these features.
Firebase helps developers in development, growth and monetization of your mobile
applications.
It provides the following features for the Development phase
• Integration with Cloud Messaging.
• Robust Authentication for added security.
• Realtime Database for Realtime storage of app data.
• Storage support for files.

● What is GIT?
Git is a version control system for tracking changes in
computer files and coordinating work on those files among
multiple people. It is primarily used for source code
management in software development, but it can be used to
keep track of changes in any set of files. As a distributed
revision control system it is aimed at speed, data integrity,
and support for distributed, non-linear workflows.
Git was created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 for development of
the Linux kernel, with other kernel developers contributing to
its initial development.
