• Install and use the Android Studio IDE.
• Use the development process for building Android apps.
• Create a simple Hello World Android project.

Android Studio provides a complete integrated development environment (IDE) including an advanced code editor and a set of app templates. In addition, it contains tools for development, debugging, testing, and performance that make it faster and easier to develop apps. You can test your apps with a large range of preconfigured emulators or on your own mobile device, build production apps, and publish on the Google Play store.

Android Studio is available for computers running Windows or Linux, and for Macs running macOS. The newest OpenJDK (Java Development Kit) is bundled with Android Studio.

To get up and running with Android Studio, first check the system requirements to ensure that your system meets them. The installation is similar for all platforms. Any differences are noted below.

1. Navigate to the Android developers site and follow the instructions to download and install Android Studio.
2. Accept the default configurations for all steps, and ensure that all components are selected for installation.
3. After finishing the install, the Setup Wizard will download and install some additional components including the Android SDK. Be patient, this might take some time depending on your Internet speed, and some of the steps may seem redundant.
4. When the download completes, Android Studio will start, and you are ready to create your first project.

Below are installation videos for different platforms:
