To update from Android Studio 0.1.x to 0.2.x, follow the installation instructions below and replace your existing installation.
Caution: Replacing your existing installation of Android Studio will remove any additional SDK packages you've installed, such as target platforms, system images, and sample apps. To preserve these, copy them from your current SDK directory under Android Studio to a temporary location before installing the update. Then move them back once the update is complete. If you fail to copy these packages, then you can instead download them again through the Android SDK Manager.
Also note that due to the update to Gradle 0.5, you will encounter errors when opening existing projects. See theTroubleshooting notes below for information about how to resolve them.
Windows:
android-studio-bundle-<version>.exe
.Known issue: On some Windows systems, the launcher script does not find where Java is installed. If you encounter this problem, you need to set an environment variable indicating the correct location.
Select Start menu > Computer > System Properties > Advanced System Properties. Then openAdvanced tab > Environment Variables and add a new system variableJAVA_HOME
that points to your JDK folder, for example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
.
Mac OS X:
android-studio-bundle-<version>.dmg
.Known issue: Depending on your security settings, when you attempt to open Android Studio, you might see a warning that says the package is damaged and should be moved to the trash. If this happens, go toSystem Preferences > Security & Privacy and under Allow applications downloaded from, selectAnywhere. Then open Android Studio again.
Linux:
android-studio-bundle-<version>.tgz
, into an appropriate location for your applications. android-studio/bin/
directory in a terminal and executestudio.sh
. You may want to add android-studio/bin/
to your PATH environmental variable so that you can start Android Studio from any directory.
That's it! You're ready to start developing apps with Android Studio.
Note: On Windows and Mac, the individual tools and other SDK packages are saved within the Android Studio application directory. To access the tools directly, use a terminal to navigate into the application and locate thesdk/
directory. For example:
Windows: \Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio\sdk\
Mac: /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/sdk/
For a list of some known issues, see tools.android.com/knownissues.
When you launch Android Studio for the first time, you'll see a Welcome screen that offers several ways to get started:
This starts the New Project wizard, which helps you set up a project using an app template.
Note: If you previously developed your Android project with Eclipse, you should first use the new export feature in the ADT plugin to prepare your project with the new Gradle build system. For more information, read Migrating from Eclipse.
For additional help using Android Studio, read Tips and Tricks.
As you continue developing apps, you may need to install additional versions of Android for the emulator and other packages such as theAndroid Support Library. To install more packages, use theSDK Manager, which you can open from Android Studio by clickingSDK Manager in the toolbar.
Note: There is not a patch update available from 0.1.9 to 0.2. To update from Android Studio 0.1.x to 0.2.x, you must install a new Android Studio bundle from this page. The reason for that is that we have made changes to the bundled SDK such that it includes a pre-configured local Maven repository which can serve up the v4 support library and which is required for creating new projects.
Android Studio v0.2.x(July 2013)
