A Definitive Guide to learn how to start your Android App Development Journey- 7 Basic Steps


Android app development is not a cup of tea for all. In reality, only a self-entrusted person can keep a consistent excitement throughout the app development process. If you are interested to experience the roller-costar ride of android app development, then roll up your sleeves and follow these 7 basic steps (that I will mention below) to make your first android app.

Step#1 Learn Java.

Before developing your app, you will need to be a master in Java. So, your initial step to build your app on your own, would be – learn java.
Java is an essential programming language that is used to create mobile apps. You can find number of websites flooded with online tutorials claiming to learn Java quickly. So make up your mind and read those tutorials carefully.

Step#2 Setup JDK (Java Development Kit).

Always remember that to create an android app, you should already have JAVA installed on your computer. Other than that you need to download- Java Development Kit (i.e. JDK5 or JDK6).  Suppose you download JDK5. Now, this JDK5 will provide you the environment where you can interpret & compile the codes. To complete the JDK installation, initially you will need to do some settings like setting the PATH & JAVA_HOME etc. Do them carefully.

Step#3 Choose an IDE and download it.

Apart from setting up the JDK5, you will also need to download one another tool - Integrated Development Environment i.e. IDE. An IDE is the place where you will do all your coding. It also gives you suggestions, highlights the wrong codes and let you test your code conveniently. 

Few popular IDEs are Eclipse (this is the oldest IDE that can be used to develop both types of apps i.e. iOS apps and Android apps), Android Studio (most of the apps are built using this one), Basic4Android (one of my favorite as it is easy to use and beginners-friendly) etc. 





Step#4 Do the initial settings.

Suppose you have successfully downloaded Android Studio and came one-step closer to become an android developer. Now, open the Android Studio and configure the SDK Manager. Follow the instructions that come to your way. 


Step#5 Start your new project.

Once you have done with all downloads and initial settings, then the real thing will start. Go to the first page of Android studio, and you will find a bar to start your first android studio project. Name your app and set your company domain here. Together they will create a package that you will upload in your Google Play Store (in future). Avoid to give any type of funny name to your app. This will help you to let people take your app seriously. So always try to give a name that is worth to use. 


Step#6 Make the real thing.

Create a well-verve small mobile app with all your skills. You can start with a simply program flashing “Hello to everyone!” When you are done with your app, then open it. Now you will see all files and folders that are used to make your app along with a phone-picture displaying “Hello World!” (On the left side). Here, the big phone-picture is used to show the XML code. When you will click on it, then a tab will be opened in front of you, named as “activity_main.xml”. You can recall it, if you want to do any changes in the layout.


Step#7 Improve your app development skills.

I would be lying to you if I say that after following these six steps you would become one of top android developers and can start your own android app development company. You continuous need to work on your coding skills to create a fully-functional app. It will take time, but I am sure hard work and dedication will make it possible.
