Time for action – installing the JDK
Android's development language of choice is Java, so to develop for it we need a copy of the Java SE Development Kit, JDK, on our computers. The process of installing the JDK is given in the following steps:
- The latest version of the JDK can be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. So, open the site in a web browser.
- Select Java Platform (JDK) from the available versions and you will be brought to a combination of license agreement and type selection page.
- Accept the license agreement, and select your appropriate Windows version from the bottom of the list. If you are unsure which to choose, then Windows x86 is usually a safe choice.
- Once the download is completed, run the new installer.
- A scan, two Next button-clicks, an initialization, and one more Next button will install the JDK to the default location. It is as good there as anywhere else, so once it is done installing, hit Close.
What just happened?
We installed the JDK (Java Development Kit). We need this so that our Android development kit will work. Luckily, the installation process for this keystone is short and sweet.
