Chapter 1. Beginning with the Basics
In this chapter, we will see how to download, install, and set up a development environment, including the essential elements: Java Development Kit (JDK), Apache Maven, Android SDK, and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). There will be pictures and illustrations provided to help you progress as quickly as possible.
Throughout this work, we will assume that you have a basic knowledge of Java, system, Maven, and IDEs and are familiar with terms such as: compiler, environment variables, repository, plugin, goal, build, and so on.
