1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:05,550
In this video, we are going to install Android Studio, which is going to be the integrated development

2
00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:12,660
environment, so the I.D. so the software and we're going to use in order to develop Android applications,

3
00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:18,960
therefore, you can just go to Google and search for Android Studio Archive and you will find this page

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:19,320
here.

5
00:00:19,530 --> 00:00:20,610
Just click on it.

6
00:00:20,610 --> 00:00:22,460
You see, it's on the studio archive.

7
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:24,060
That's where it's going to send us.

8
00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:31,320
And I don't want to install the latest version of Android Studio because that will change constantly.

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:37,710
And I want you to have the exact same Android Studio version that I'm using in the videos because this

10
00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:44,730
will reduce confusion and will make the learning process for you a lot smoother and a lot more enjoyable,

11
00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:46,490
which is very important to me.

12
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:49,980
So let's go ahead and scroll through this page here.

13
00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:54,360
You can, of course, read through the terms and conditions, and you should because, well, you agree

14
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,830
to them with this button here, which you need to click on in order to get to the downloads themselves.

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,950
So here is an overview of the different versions of Android Studio, and you can see there are a bunch

16
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:05,280
of them.

17
00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:10,950
So Bumblebee is the one being currently developed, but it's in an alpha phase.

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,300
Or maybe beta.

19
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:17,460
You could say the canary version here is 11 at the point of recording, but we're not going to use that.

20
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:22,980
We're going to use Arctic Fox, which allows us to create Android 12 applications, which is what we

21
00:01:22,980 --> 00:01:23,610
want to do.

22
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:28,770
And even if you're watching this course at the point when Android 13 or 14 or whatever is out.

23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:36,390
No worries the basics will stay the same and the changes with each version, they don't really make

24
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:42,300
that much of a difference for us developers in the sense of what we need to develop, because most of

25
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:48,540
the time the features that we're going to use are features that are pretty old and they have been available

26
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:54,780
in all the versions of Android already, which is very important because if you look at it, the devices

27
00:01:54,780 --> 00:02:00,540
that currently support Android 11 even are super limited.

28
00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:07,080
So even though Android 12 is coming out now, not all devices have the latest version of Android 11.

29
00:02:07,710 --> 00:02:11,910
So that's really something that you have to take into consideration, because what you want to achieve

30
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:18,540
is that your application will be able to run on as many devices as possible, and we're going to see

31
00:02:18,540 --> 00:02:21,000
a little on that in the next video as well.

32
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,800
So here, let's go ahead and install this version, because that's the one that we're going to use to

33
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,640
Android Studio Arctic Fox 2020. 3.1 Patch two.

34
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,390
So it came out on September 1st, 2021, and that's the one that we're going to use throughout the entire

35
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:39,910
course, which is why it's really important for you to use this version as well.

36
00:02:39,930 --> 00:02:45,600
Otherwise, things might look slightly differently or they will not work exactly the same and so forth.

37
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,260
And this will really diminish your enjoyment.

38
00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:51,300
And that's not something we want.

39
00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:57,060
And especially as a beginner for you, all of these extra features that will come out with new versions,

40
00:02:57,060 --> 00:02:58,470
they will not be relevant for you.

41
00:02:58,740 --> 00:03:03,840
They will be relevant once you are an advanced developer, and this will take you to basically finish

42
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,560
the course first in order to get there.

43
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,330
OK, so once you're done with the course, you will be an advanced developer, and at that point, you

44
00:03:09,330 --> 00:03:14,040
will be confident enough to get started with new versions and discover new features and stuff.

45
00:03:14,730 --> 00:03:20,790
OK, so once you click on this, you see that this pops up here, so the installers, the zip files

46
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:21,480
and so forth.

47
00:03:21,930 --> 00:03:27,720
As I'm using a Windows PC here, I'm going to use this Windows installer, which makes it easier for

48
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:27,870
me.

49
00:03:28,230 --> 00:03:33,180
Of course, you can also use the zip file and then extract it and then use the installer from there

50
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:33,690
and so forth.

51
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:36,300
But I'm just going to use this as Fatso.

52
00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:40,020
So just click on this file and then save this file.

53
00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:45,990
By the way, if you're using a different operating system accordingly, you would, of course, download

54
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:46,680
them from here.

55
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,830
So if you have a Mac with an Intel CPU, use this one.

56
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:56,070
If you have an AMD one and one X and two or whatever processor and Apple silicon version will be the

57
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:56,780
right one for you.

58
00:03:56,790 --> 00:04:01,200
And finally, if you're using Linux, of course, to use this downloadable right here.

59
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:10,180
OK, so once you have this X-File on your PC, just double click on it and start the installation process.

60
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:17,170
Android studio set up will then open up, and you can just click next and here.

61
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,340
By the way, I will keep the Android virtual device active because I want to use an emulator on the

62
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:26,980
PC, so it's easier for me to record.

63
00:04:26,980 --> 00:04:32,170
But if you want to test only on your actual phone, you can of course not install that.

64
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,540
If space is an issue on your PC.

65
00:04:34,990 --> 00:04:39,430
But I really would recommend to install the Android virtual device because I will also show you some

66
00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:41,590
neat little tricks with it later on in the course.

67
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:43,750
So then click next to install it.

68
00:04:44,170 --> 00:04:45,500
Select where you want to store it.

69
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,390
I'm going to keep the default settings here and click next again.

70
00:04:49,870 --> 00:04:54,770
Then if you want to add it to your start menu, just click Install.

71
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:55,510
Once you're ready.

72
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:04,050
OK, so once that is done, click on next and then you can start Android Studio, so let's do that real

73
00:05:04,050 --> 00:05:04,350
quick.

74
00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:07,260
You can see this beautiful fox pops up.

75
00:05:07,950 --> 00:05:12,420
So in order to record this, I installed everything that had to do with Android Studio from my PC.

76
00:05:12,430 --> 00:05:17,700
But it seems like it didn't show me this first screen where I could select the colors that I wanted

77
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:18,050
to have.

78
00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:21,690
So in case you want to use a different theme, you can do so.

79
00:05:21,690 --> 00:05:26,640
And I'm also going to use a different theme and you can go through the settings that will appear before

80
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:26,880
that.

81
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,500
So once you're done with that, you can just see this screen here.

82
00:05:30,510 --> 00:05:32,040
Welcome to Android Studio.

83
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,470
So once I'm at this point, I want to customize my Android studio a little bit.

84
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:44,310
So here you can use a different color theme so you can see this this intelligent light theme that is

85
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:44,970
currently used.

86
00:05:44,970 --> 00:05:49,470
But I want to use the dark color theme, which will make things a little darker.

87
00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:57,390
And then also, you can change the font, which means the size of the text on the Android Studio software

88
00:05:57,390 --> 00:05:59,130
and then in the ED itself.

89
00:05:59,130 --> 00:06:03,360
So the code, you can change that here in order to make the code bigger or smaller.

90
00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:07,830
But that is something you can change anytime in your Android Studio project.

91
00:06:08,190 --> 00:06:13,590
OK, so we're going to get back to this point in the next video where we're going to create our first

92
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:14,160
project.
