Want to Add a Navigation Drawer to Your Android App?
OK, what do I need to test and run this sample project?
Getting Started
Building Your First App
- How do I tell if which SDK I have?
Getting Started with Android Studio
- New Android development environment based on IntelliJ IDEA
- Similar to Eclipse with ADT Plugin
- Integrated Android developer tools
Installing Android Studio v0.1.1
Will this cause any conflict for the Xamarin environment I already have installed?
No problems installing.
Updating to 0.1.3
The Check for updates is at the very bottom of the screen.
Installing some missing things for the SDK. The are not missing on Xamarin Android SDK install.
Error on starting the ADB server.
Updating to 0.1.3
Applying patch
Trying to run my first app from Android Studio
Looking for AD?
Why does it says that the device is offline?
- Because I had not selected the let debug button on the phone.
Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
the load status in the very bottom right corner.
Hmmm, the load status says 350M of 711M; however, the app is up and running on the phone.
The source code is a little buried.
Look like this app is for android-syooirt-v4.jar
Little hard to tell what is happening. The Choose Device window pop's up before anything is loaded.
Works like a charm.
