Course content

15 sections • 93 lectures

Getting Started 7 lectures

Intro to Course Preview 07:21

We'll talk about what we are going to cover in this Android course

Installing Android Studio (Mac) Preview 10:07

Learn how to install Android Studio for Android Marshmallow development. You'll also learn about which APIs to target and download files for.

Installing Android Studio (Windows) Preview 09:50

Windows 10 comes in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions and, therefore, you could still need the x86 version on Windows 10.
Important note: x86-based AVDs (including the standard Nexus 5 emulator) won't work on AMD-based systems. This is a non-issue for Macs as they are all Intel-based systems. The workaround is to use an ARM-based emulator image or use GenyMotion instead.
