If you are familiar with how Arduino code is structured, you may be expecting to have a setup and a loop methods. Android Things can work like that too. We will start with our methods named using that convention to provide a common ground if you have experience with Arduino.

In this section we will start with something close to the Arduino way, explain its drawbacks, and show better alternatives, showing the different ways to blink an LED.
Blinking an LED is the IoT equivalent of Hello World.
Let's get into blinking an LED the Arduino way.
