To create Android apps, you must first install Android Studio. Android Studio is a customized IDE based on IntelliJ Platform, an IDE by JetBrains that provides powerful tools.
In this chapter, you’ll learn how to:
Set up Android Studio.
Set up a physical and emulated device for development.
This is the download page for Android Studio. The Download button will first show you a terms and conditions page. Scroll to the bottom of the page after reading the agreement to proceed.
Note: This chapter assumes your computer is running macOS. However, because Android Studio supports Windows and Linux, this book provides instructions for those operating systems where possible.
Mark the checkbox acknowledging your agreement with the terms. Then, select the download button that suits your operating system and hardware.
This book uses Android Studio Hedgehog. “Hedgehog” is the nickname given to the version of Android Studio. If you want to use a version other than the current release, select “preview” atop the downloads page, which offers Beta and Canary Android Studio builds. Canary builds have the latest, cutting-edge features but are also the least stable. Use at your discretion. Beta builds offer early access to the next version of Android Studio. Sometimes, you might need or want to use a Beta build to use certain new features in Android or improved support for existing features.
This page outlines how to install Android Studio. Follow the instructions and video relevant to your operating system until the “Welcome to Android Studio” window appears.
Note: With a slower internet connection, downloading all components might take time. Depending on your system’s configuration, an administrator’s or personal password might be required to complete installation.
Configuring Android Studio
Now that you have installed Android Studio, it’s time to configure it with the new UI. The chapters of this book all reference the new UI of Android Studio. To ensure you have this feature enabled, open Android Studio, click the Android Studio menu at the top and select Settings.

Finally, it’s time to create your first project. It’s important to note this chapter focuses on getting your first Android app running as quickly as possible. As such, you’ll encounter a few unfamiliar screens, but don’t worry — Chapter 6, “Advanced Jetpack Compose”, offers a detailed explanation.
