Android: Creating a new project

Preparing your machine for android application making

Dealing with making an android application means you should have following things installed in your PC.
Step-1: First of all you should have Java Development Kit (JDK) installed in your machine. You can get JDK from the following link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Step-2: After installing the latest version of JDK, your job is to set the class path for the JDK. For this, you have to go to the installation folder of JDK in program files. Normally this is located to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\bin.  Now copy this whole path “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\bin”. Close the window. Right click on Computer.

Then go to Properties > Advanced system settings > Advanced > Environment variables  . If a variable name “Path” is already there , then click “Edit”  and append the previously copied variable value at the end of the string. Otherwise In System variable click on “New” and name the new variable “Path” and then append the previously copied variable value as the value of the string.
