Installing Android Studio

 

Installing Android Studio

One of the great things about Android development is that the tools run on all the popular platforms; Macs, Windows, and Linux machines, including some powerful Chromebooks.


Download Android Studio

Going to the studio website will take you to the correct download link for your platform. You can read more information about installing Android Studio here.

Android Studio is a large application; currently, the base installer is 927 - 1007 megabytes. Make sure you have several gigabytes of free storage on your machine to install Studio as well as the SDK and emulator images you'll need and want for development. Also, it can take a while to download. Check the System Requirements part of the download page for more information on what you'll need to run Studio.



The Android Emulator

The Android Emulator relies on a technology called virtualization and takes advantage of the graphics processor in your development machine for high performance. Virtualization must be supported by both your CPU and Operating System. If you are having trouble getting hardware acceleration to work in the emulator, read this article for more information.

Problems Installing?

Finally, if you see that your development machine and OS should be supported, but you still have problems installing Android Studio, check out the resources at https://developer.android.com/support or search your favorite search engine for an answer.

We have also prepared a Troubleshooting Guide to help you make full use of the resources and exercises in this lesson.

Android Data Binding

  Data Binding - The Idea The big idea about data binding is to create an object that connects/maps/binds two pieces of distant information together at compile time, so that you don't have to look for it at runtime. The object that surfaces these bindings to you is called the Binding object. It is created by the compiler, and while understanding how it works under the hood is interesting, it is not necessary to know for basic uses of data binding. Data Binding and findViewById findViewById is a costly operation because it traverses the view hierarchy every time it is called. With data binding enabled, the compiler creates references to all views in a  <layout>  that have an id, and gathers them in a Binding object. In your code, you create an instance of the binding object, and then reference views through the binding object with no extra overhead. Data Binding Views and Data Updating data and then updating the data displayed in views is cumbersome and a source of errors. Kee
