Android Setup

Setting Up To Build Android Apps

1. Download the latest versions of the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) - For Home Computers Only
     This is if you want to install the Android code on your computer at home. This has already been done at our school computers. You are welcome to use them to create any apps that you wrote at home.
  • Google "Android SDK" , download just the SDK (not the Studio, you do not need it) and unzip it. 
  • Unless you need the "latest and greatest" capabilities, just use "Froyo 2.2" (It works on most all devices)
    Livecode lessons:
  • Setting up the Android SDK - on a PC - Mac - or Linux computer, watch video

2. Point LiveCode to where the Android files are 
    Do this here at school in your LiveCode program
  • In LiveCode, click on "Edit" in the Toolbar
  • click on "Preferences" in the dropdown menu
  • click on "Mobile Support" in the preferences window
  • click on the "..." and find the SDK directory that you unzipped (at school it is at "C:/Android/"
  • Then close the Preferences window
               
                  


     That's it, You do not need to do this again. You are all set to build your "Standalone" file to run on Android devices
