Android and Android Studio

Set up Android Studio and understand how Android apps are built.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Android is the world's most used mobile OS.
  2. Android Studio is the official IDE; Kotlin is the preferred language.
  3. A project has modules, Gradle build files and a manifest.
  4. Run apps on an emulator (AVD) or a real phone with USB debugging.
  5. Min SDK sets the oldest Android version supported.
💡 Real-life example: Android Studio is a fully equipped workshop with tools, a test bench (emulator) and assembly line (Gradle).
