Android SDK for Mac
The Android SDK for Mac allows mobile software developers the
opportunity to tinker
with the platform and create new and interesting work. The Android
SDK
contains everything you need to start
building apps. The Android SDK for Mac also comes with a emulated virtual
device that
is fully functional to let you test out your work.
The emulator is easy to set up and run, and there is a choice of
phone
skins and resolutions to play around with too. The downside is that
if you
want to
install software on the emulator, it isn't easy. There is, however,
lots of
documentation online to assist in using the Android SDK for Mac.
The Android SDK for Mac includes:
An emulator.
Required libraries.
Debugger.
Sample source code.
Tutorials for the Android OS.
Relevant documentation for the Android application program
interfaces (APIs).
Overall, the Android SDK for Mac will give you a fast and reliable
development
environment for you to work with. The app is a comprehensive
development kit
and the
bundled emulator is skinnable too. The downside is that it can be a
little
tricky to operate for novice users.
