Android Studio Tutorial

[@ChristopherMarkusLacapra]

Learnt python, got a job. learnt javascript, got a job. learnt java, got a certification. now android. let's see...you're basically my sherpa! :)

[@derekbanas]

+Christopher Markus Lacapra That is very cool. I'm glad I could help :)

[@laurabennis3871]

@mad cobra you can't even write the language's name correctly lol, you're the disgrace here

[@vibeeshkamalakannan2017]

Hey.. Can you tell me about your journey in getting into software by learning just python and js? I'm currently studying electrical engineering.. and this is probably not going to work. I'm just gonna somehow get the degree.. and I'd like to get into softwarw once I graduate. Can you give me some tips if possible. Thanks!

[@40ozhemlock]

Amazing feeling isn't it Christopher? Only thing better than self-teaching such challenging material is having a guide like Derek to help you along the way. So grateful for this guy and a few others here on youtube.

[@motorheadbanger90]

When i enrolled in my Android class, i immediately came to your channel and searched for this. you never disappoint.

[@derekbanas]

Thank you for the compliment :)

[@DamienAlexander]

The latest version is so different from this video, the dragging and pasting like in 17:14 doesnt work anymore, or maybe needs some special settings :s

[@Cdek654]

+DFFUSE Idk if you found out, but you need to work with content_main now instead of activity_main !

[@hectorcoronel4283]

I don't know why I understand more from this very fast tutorial than others that are slow. Thank you.

[@derekbanas]

Some times it is nice to see info presented in a different way. I'm glad it helped :)

[@sudhirsaini6760]

I've never seen such tutorial, your voice sounds so confident, like you know everything...! :) really great tutorial... I may be sound funny as I am a beginner. Can you please let me know if I should start with Android studio or eclips?

[@derekbanas]

***** Thank you :) I've been programming for many years. I'd use Android Studio. I find it easier to use because only the tools you need are there. There is no clutter.

[@Zhuinden]

Eclipse was deprecated 2 years ago for android development

[@aryamaansingh1894]

+Zhuinden That comment is 3 years old soo....

[@jadchehimi]

I've had 4 years of java experience, but never dived into the realm of Android. PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!!

[@elijahv9012]

Thanks for all your videos, they are SO helpful. You just got another subscriber! :)

[@matt-g-recovers]

This is a phenomenal series. Its still relevant because the app design and development process that is outlined here is gold. As a long time Android developer, I suggest anyone watch this series that is into a Android app development.

[@derekbanas]

Thank you for the very nice compliment :)

[@fazchow4679]

Can you do a tutorial on Web Hosting? Also Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?

[@haciendadad]

I like the pace you speak through these videos. It may seem a little fast at times but you can always pause it, but you cover a lot of information quickly and clearly. Very polished video editing too.

[@derekbanas]

Joey Garcia Thank you :) It is just my way of being different from the other tutorial people.

[@haciendadad]

Derek Banas Smart thinking! It worked. I am going to go through many more of your tuts. I am very interested in the Design Patterns ones and the OO JavaScript ones.

[@zayedmohamed737]

Cannot launch AVD in emulator. Output: emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed! i installed {intel x86 emulator accelerator(HAXM installer)} from the sdk manger and it still give me the same error plz help

[@petarban3108]

+Tarazan mohamed same problem

[@prashantdhameja5778]

Tarazan mohamed use abd, it's easy and it won't eat ram of logical advantage, you like to run your app in your device, won't you.?

[@PrismElectronics]

The best getting started with Android Development Studio I have found

[@derekbanas]

PrismElectronics Thank you very much :) Many more are coming

[@creative7982]

You & Your Tutorials Really Helping Me! Thank you for your tutorials!

[@derekbanas]

Hitarth Digital Media Pvt. Ltd. You're very welcome :)

[@mustafashahidcloud44049]

+Derek Banas CAN U PLEASE SLOW DOWN thx -future programmer

[@klarissaclairiton9010]

The sound in the video is very clear unlike alot of videos that explain programming. Thanks.

[@derekbanas]

Thank you for the compliment :)

[@ScoobaMusic]

I've been using Java 8 with Android Studio and haven't had a problem yet.

[@derekbanas]

salvationarmyfan13 It does work on most systems, but I stick with 7 because it is more stable on most every system.

[@buie1692]

Derek Banas Hopefully this question isnt't too trivial but I too have Java 8, is there a way I can switch to using Java 7?

[@johnnygallardo76]

during installation, how did you get android studios to recognize java 8? i won't on my windows 7 ultimate 64bit :( it will not insall without it recognizing java 8.exe

[@axvador]

I should have found this tutorial three days ago. All my doubts so far solved, and has been an excellent source of tips.Thank you very much man.

[@derekbanas]

Andres Pino Thank you for the compliment :) I'm glad I could help.

[@tianjin9367]

Hi Derek, at 11:58. I have problem, where is git remote -v? Thanks.

[@GuidesTutorials]

this is a great and very helpful tutorial, i love the speed and the pace of zoom in you do, cheers, just going to have a marathon watch of your other videos now.

[@derekbanas]

Thank you :) I'm glad you like them

[@crotis1000]

I dont have the android SDK availible platform tools to click and accept at 7:25, what to do? (Am using java 1.8)

[@RomanMedvid]

Thank you Derek. For me this sounds like a perfect tutorial. I've been developing with Eclipse for 2 years and felt uncomfortable about switching to Studio. Well, I hope this switch is more than possible now. Thanks again!

[@derekbanas]

Roman Medvid Thank you very much :) I felt the same, but I've been very happy with Android Studio for almost a year.

[@RomanMedvid]

Derek Banas I installed Studio immediately when it came out of Beta. However, when trying to import my several Eclipse projects into Studio, I got a pile of errors that I couldn't cope with. Maybe it's a good idea to transfer projects file by file, in a safe-slow mode. Don't know...

[@derekbanas]

Roman Medvid Yes you basically have to copy over the layout and source files, but everything works its way out. Everything is built using Gradle. It is a pain at the start, but well worth it in the end.

[@alexanderquinones1203]

on 12:24 you said to select all , but i see from the video you selected from the src folder on, build and libs is not necessary ?

[@derekbanas]

I normally would select everything, but it depends on the project. I was rushing a bit in the video

[@alexanderquinones1203]

Derek Banas thanks, on linux i had to change the line separator to CR other wise i will get warnings not sure if that will have any bad effect later on

[@omagas972]

Hey, I just wanted to thank you a lot for making so many great tutorials for us to see for free. I appreciate how much time you spend on making these just so we can learn more. Its really amazing. All your videos are awesome, not just your android. They are also very professional. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you. You still respond to questions that people ask even though a lot of people when they get that many subscribers, they stop commenting. So thanks :D

[@pedromendes6403]

VOTE : please , could you make a new version of this series ?

[@zulumopuku5370]

would be a nice idea. For beginners follow with this version is very complicated...

[@pauljordan8199]

I am for it

[@derekbanas]

Up next I'll make both a new iPhone and then Android development series. They should start going up in 2 days

[@pauljordan8199]

You are simply the best programming related youtuber ever. And the smartest as well , thank you for all you have done to the world, educating people from all over the world , even countries you havent heard of, like I am from Sao Tome and Principe, and have been following you for over 5 years now...

[@derekbanas]

Thank you for the kind compliment! I greatly appreciate it. Your country is beautiful! It is my great pleasure to be able to help. It is quite humbling to receive such nice messages from around the world.

[@gavo9530]

4:35 do i edit the system variables or the user variables?

[@mingyucui4531]

I don't know why but when I tried to select Git @11:10, it says "ProcessNotCreatedException: Cannot run program "git.exe" (in directory "D:\AndroidStudioProjects\Application0101"): CreateProcess error=2," How do I solve this?

[@sanjaygopal627]

Thank you for a great tutorial. Especially liked the fast pace and quick hits on the highlights to get a (hungry) newbie developer going!

[@daxdigitalus]

Thanks for all the great videos. I have used them to refresh my knowledge of languages I haven't used in a while. It's great how you run through everything so quickly. I suspect many developers use your videos for the same purpose.

[@derekbanas]

Thank you for taking the time to tell me they help :)

[@saraha8017]

Hi.. I dont know how you you did all that from 4:04 till 4:18 like where did it all come from? The Environment Variables for instance.. you were on windows and then suddenly came out from a mac. I have a mac btw please answer my question.

[@derekbanas]

+sarah 9417 That was all done in Windows. I duel boot Windows and OSX on my Mac.

[@aditya95sriram]

Derek Banas The step at 5:43, do I need to set it to 1.6 even if my jdk is version 1.8 ? (I asked because you entered 1.6, but in the description you provided link to jdk 1.7)

[@derekbanas]

Aditya Sriram Feel free to use 8 now.

[@Bruce99Lee]

Hi Derek! Informative videos as usual! I have 2 questions that I'm unsure of. First, I'm using java 1.7. Do I change the compiler to 1.7, 1.6 or leave it as default? Second, when I create an app, I do not get the option of choosing whether or not I wanted to create an activty. I do not even have the same interface as you at 6:00. I can choose the minimum target, but not the current target. Is it a newer version of Android Studio or maybe because you are using Mac or maybe options? I've been looking in the settings, but I have not found anything there. The window I get is the same in their webside under Creating a Project: developer.android.com/sdk/installing/create-project.html I have not tried the Github yet, so might comeback for more when I do =) Thanks

[@derekbanas]

zaft1g337 Feel free to use Java 1.7. I go over additional changes in part 6 of this tutorial series. As the tutorial continues I constantly upgrade to the newer stable versions of Android Studio. AS is the same on every OS. Try to stick with developer builds over canary builds and you'll cut down on errors.

[@Bruce99Lee]

Derek Banas Still dont know if I should use the 1.7 or 1.6 compiler. Also, could you make a tutorial of Volly? Thanks!

[@derekbanas]

zaft1g337 1.7 works. I'll be digging into a bunch of Android libraries. Thanks for the request

[@routerroaster2592]

Hey Derek, at 6:07 i only have; Application Name, Company domain, package name, and project location, why is everything else not showing up?

[@derekbanas]

RouterRoaster They are always changing around the interface for Android Studio for some reason. Everything is basically the same, but the organization is different.

[@routerroaster2592]

Derek Banas thanks soo much, i thought i changed something by accident

[@stevennoble8474]

on the github website after you finish setting up the repository at 13:26 on yours it shows newthinktank/HellowWorls/app/src/main/java/com/newthinktank/hellowworld/app/mainActivity.java mine only says: stevenn21/Hello_World i followed thetut perfectly when i went git commit files it doesnt have all the files in the push window and i did highlight them all any ideas do i need all those subfolders on github?

[@macfhlannchadharonan4668]

Derek have you considered making a forum on your website? This could allow us to add our own apps for others to learn off, ask each other questions based on your videos and hold general discussions regarding topics you covered. It could save you the effort of having to answer every question on each of your videos. Personally I would love to see others changes of your code on perhaps more efficient,creative or newer ways of doing things. Cheers

[@derekbanas]

I may do that at some point. It is just very hard to answer questions in so many locations. We'll see what develops

[@Phill2128]

Great tutorial! I really like tutorials in which the speaker talks fast and briefly!

[@derekbanas]

Filip Volf Thank you :) You found the right guy then. I think I make the fastest tutorials on youtube.

[@miguelbravo3050]

Dude i love ur vids and the fact that they're so brief yet complete. I wish u could make a quick reference to linux version but I guess itd be long with all distro diferences.

[@derekbanas]

Thank you :) I'll see what I can do

[@callumvanheerden1530]

Man you are so awesome I just started programming with no experience but I really like design and want to develop android apps so I need to learn android studio and java which for me is really hard but you are so clear at explaining with your subtle humor and awesome video editing, so far I have just seen two of your videos but I intend to go through everything and finally make an app thx:D.

[@derekbanas]

Callum vh Thank you :) I'm very happy you are enjoying them. If you have any trouble ask me, or maybe check out my Android Beginners tutorial. It teaches Java Android in a graphical way.

[@callumvanheerden1530]

Derek Banas I will do, that beginner java vid sounds really good il check that out :)

[@derekbanas]

Callum vh It starts out looking silly, but we make some nice apps and by the end I cover Java and PHP databases, etc.

[@callumvanheerden1530]

ya that sounds awesome, Oh and would you recommend starting up in app inventor or diving straight into Android studio ?

[@derekbanas]

Callum vh I'd say App Inventor is the way to go unless you are very good at Java. The most important thing to nurture when you start out with developing apps is excitement. If it takes you a few weeks to make a useable app it is very easy to get bored. With App Inventor you should be able to make a bunch of fun apps in 2 hours. I actually teach Java Android as well, but I don't let you know until near the end of the tutorial :)

[@MUSLIM2CHRIST]

I keep getting a "Gradle Project Sync Failed. Basic Functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work properly" After the step concluded at time 6:45 What do I do?

[@hablahei1]

It's such a joy to watch your videos! Very learning oriented, and you have a way of making them really entertaining. Can't wait for the rest of the series :)

[@derekbanas]

Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice message :)

[@aestheticvibesjn]

Thank you for putting in the effort to make all of these videos. I really learn so much from every single video I watch and I've really impressed my professors and teammates at my university with all the knowledge I get here. :)

[@derekbanas]

Johnny Nguyen You're very welcome :) I'm very happy that I could help.

[@allandixon3696]

Hi Derek, my name is Allan and I just wanted to make a comment. I am a war veteran and have no choice but to seek a new career. Your tutorials are an invitation into this new path, and I thank God for what you are doing and have done. thank you

[@derekbanas]

Allan Dixon Thank you very much for your service :) I'm very happy that I can help in any way. Always feel free to ask questions. I'll do my best to help.

[@karl5874]

5:40 should I switch to 1.6 even if I'm running jdk 1.7?

[@derekbanas]

Yes you should to cut down on weird errors.

[@99timochou]

5:40 what if we have superior Project bytecode version? like 1.7 and 1.8?

[@derekbanas]

Hey Derek, I can't get past an issue at 11:22 when trying to share to Github. When I click "Share Project on Github" it says "Can't start Git: git.exe" and then I go into the version control for git and when I attempt to test it, it says " Cannot run program "C:\Users\Steven\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\GitHub, Inc\git.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified." Any ideas what to do?

[@JeffreyvanNijnatten]

Download github desktop.github.com/ and link Android studio to git.exe in the git folder :C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\........etc. and search for git.exe

[@oshackingdev]

Thanks Derek ! You make the best tutorials on the Internet . You are awesome !

[@derekbanas]

Thank you for the nice compliment :) I do my best.

[@Ducksfreegames]

At 8:06 it says No target selected.

[@theoaristi53]

Hello Derek? Would it be ok you could add some Dagger2 tutorials with the Volley Library? Thanks.

[@derekbanas]

I'll see what I can do

[@theoaristi53]

Derek Banas Thanks. It is a bit tricky and there are not many tutorials about this topic:(.

[@FirzanRules]

Hey Derek, great tutorials! Really glad and appreciate doing tutorials on Android Studio. If I may, I would like to see you do a tutorial on the implementation and editing of navigation drawers since it's really easy to implement in Android Studio. I just feel like it's a little all over the place so I'd like a nice explanation! Thanks again Derek and keep up the amazing job!

[@derekbanas]

Thank you very much :) I'll definitely cover interfaces in great detail this time

[@TheEightshot]

Hi derek, im using android stuio 1.0.1 and have so far managed to adjust what you have said to this version (which has been a little tricky at times). however, im at 9:25 and im noticing that under my nexuus 7 "actions" it is showing "Failed to load" when i right click ad click "edit" even with "show downloadble system images" ticked it states "nothing to show" and only gives me the option to "cancel" have i missed something? im running an I7-5960X (3Ghz) is this not a valid CPU for this speed up process?\ Really appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.

[@derekbanas]

TheEightshot Take a look at part 6 of this tutorial series. I show how to correct a bunch of common Android Studio errors there

[@TheEightshot]

Thanks :)

[@gurdevparmar]

Great tutorial, Derek. This is the first time I saw one of your tutorials. And I want to see more. I am very good with Eclipse+Android but not much with Android Studio(AS). And I couldn't get the Login Activity template working on AS. Moreover, the different interface is making me give up on AS fast. Hoping to see more of your videos and persevere :) Thanks once again!

[@derekbanas]

Gurdev Parmar Thank you :) Yes changing tools is always a bit of a struggle, but I have used AS for about a year now. I like it. Many more Android videos are coming.

[@SuperBoobaloo]

Yet another superbly produced tutorial. You da man, Derek. Thank you.

[@derekbanas]

Thank you very much :)

[@raulzuniga6509]

Hurray! I use three JetBrains products and they've been great. I was hoping that you would do a series with the new Android IDE but didn't think that was going to happen as you just finished an Android series. I'll definitely be watching this series!

[@derekbanas]

Thank you :) I have made it my mission to make Android tutorials until I feel that I've done it right. I hope to do that this time. I have about 100 Android apps under my belt this time so i should do a better job.

[@MrSpikeyD]

Wow... so much great information in one vid! Thanks for being so direct and straight to the point without all the painful unnecessary guff many people put in their vids. Just pause, follow along and restart - love it!

[@derekbanas]

Ben Dallimore Thank you for the nice compliments :)

[@ImPushpendraPal]

Hello sir i want​ to ask you that what type of programming you are using in Android studio to make an Android app.How much time it will take to Learn and understand this programming.I am very excited to make Android app. please tell me what I have to do now. should I learn programming for some time and then come to your video and start making apps or just start making apps without knowing the programming

[@GauravSharma-dl2qi]

Hey Derek , Awesome tutorials man!! Can you give the link to whole playlist of these tutorials!

[@derekbanas]

Thank you :) Android Studio Tutorial

[@ayush_stha]

New to Android development (know JAVA), so which playlist should I follow ? This one or the other older one. Basically black vs. green ??

[@derekbanas]

This one

[@AlejandrodelCarpioOlemar]

Hi Derek, thanks for the video, I have a problem: your project location contains whitespace what should I do?

[@RudiOnRails]

Hi thanks for the tutorials. I would just like to know in this series do you cover consuming Web API at any point?

[@derekbanas]

Reier Opperman You're very welcome :) Yes I'll cover parsing xml, json and more. I'll also make a tutorial on how to build a web service first with php

[@RudiOnRails]

Derek Banas Thanks would be fantastic. I am a C# coder so I am using MVC 4 and adding Web Api but will check out the PHP tutorials as well. Keep up the good work man we appreciate it a lot.

[@FishCatFlying]

I cant see my preview window and there is no option on the view tab to activate it, what do i do?

[@moarkoark]

Where is my weekly Android Studio Tutorial drug ? :)

[@RyanLeeLab]

Hi Derek. I have been waiting for this tutorial from you. Would you please have the tutorial for Gradle inside this Android Studio. I love Android Studio so much but I quite struggle with using Gradle.

[@derekbanas]

Sure I plan to cover Gradle in full. The next tutorial will be a very fast overview of Java in 1 video. Then I'll fit in the Gradle tutorial.

[@RyanLeeLab]

Thanks Derek. You're the hero. :D

[@arifnadeem7]

Excellent tutorial, actually I was looking for some tutorials on Android Studio on KZbin and when I about to do just that I saw that you had a video on the same. So thanks for the tutorial :) I have a little gripe about Android Studio though, it takes a lot of time to initialize after creating the project and it eats my RAM viciously, it is going up to 798Mb right now and that is something crazy.

[@derekbanas]

Thank you :) Yes I agree that Gradle is a ram hog. They have made dramatic improvements on AS in the last couple months. Let's hope that continues.

[@neelpatel6194]

Hey Derek. I have been following your android development tutorials and just found this one and I'm confused on where should I go. I was using android studio in the Android development tutorials in which you used Eclipse. I'm fairly new to app development but am experienced in Java. If I'm using android studio should I stop following the other one with Eclipse and start over? I'll eventually watch both but don't have time to for now. Thank you for your great tutorials!

[@derekbanas]

Bill Waters This video is more up to date and covers more material. Eventually I'll merge this video with server side applications and make advanced Android apps and games.

[@zaxx81]

Great tutorial, what version of Android Studio are you running, because a lot of the setup looked different versus the 0.8.0 version that I downloaded today.

[@derekbanas]

Zack Fair It starts out in .6 and I upgrade as the new ones come out

[@vijaygaonkar7020]

Hi Derek, Thank you for all the tutorials. I love them! What is the difference between your playlists - "how to make android apps" and "Android develpment tutorial"

[@derekbanas]

Thank you. :)

[@chelseaangelaortojan4171]

hi sir Derek Banas i really appreciate your tutorial, its easy to understood and fun. And i have to ask you something, about the @ the part 5:46, can I use jdk 1.8 as a compiler? I have 1.8 here.. Thank you. :D

[@derekbanas]

Chelsea Angela Ortojan Thank you :) Yes you can use Java 8 now

[@AntonSavelyev]

What should the project bytecode version field be now? Given that this video is more than a year old.

[@derekbanas]

This is the updated version

[@quantumjolt8663]

Thanks for the clarification!

[@theavbug]

Thank you so much for this Tutorial. I was struggling to find out what a grade for a long time, you have made it so simple. Looking forward for more tutorials.

[@derekbanas]

Vedant Nighojkar You're very welcome :) I'm glad I could help.

[@SamitMohan]

Okay ill learn the basic syntax. Im really liking android. Which app do you make on the last episode of your how to make android app tutorial? I mean which app will you teach us?

[@derekbanas]

+Mrchampion9999 The biggest app I make is a language translation app that connects to a web service. Android is a ton of fun to develop on. It is great to have a bunch of your own apps on your phone :)

[@likhitagrawal7539]

Should I start using Android Studio now that it is the official one for Google or should I still use Eclipse for beginning the developing process?

[@derekbanas]

Likhit Agrawal I personally have used Android Studio for about a year.

[@likhitagrawal7539]

So I should start off with android studio instead of eclipse right?

[@derekbanas]

Likhit Agrawal Yes use Android Studio

[@tyoun831]

Hello Derek! I'm curious as to how this playlist is different from the "Android Development Tutorial" playlist, and which one would be recommended over another and for what reason? Thanks!

[@ByteNinja-YT]

Hello im totally new at programming i've no knowledge of any kind of PC language, but i would really like to start learning a PC language to make apps for android, so i was watching in your playlist folder and there were so many of them didnt know where to start. Do you have any advice for me on where to start out as a noob?

[@derekbanas]

therealpewer You could go a few routes. I have an Android for beginners tutorial that doesn't require programming knowledge : kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5i6pmadrtmYaqs You could try learning Java, which is the Android language (Parts 1 - 18, minus 8 and 10) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/inO6iWxtmpZ4b8k I tell most beginners to start with either Python or Ruby because they are great first languages. I hope that helps :)

[@ByteNinja-YT]

Derek Banas Thanks for the helpfull advice! :)

[@Madan-ve4um]

Hi Derek, The video is very well presented. The New version which I have downloaded has quite a few difference. Would you have a tutorial, especially startup in the new version of android studio. Would love to see and learn from it.

[@derekbanas]

Madan Thank you :) As the tutorial continues I upgrade to the newer versions as they come out. Not much changes from the different versions.

Hi Derek. I have Eclipse installed and with the new Admob changes thought I update and and maybe install Android Studio. I am a beginner and don't know where to find the Android SDK Location. Would that perhaps be where I installed the android Studio or C:\android-sdk-windows I am clueless. Oh and I have Java 1.7, do I still need to fo what you're doing? Any vids on how to move from the old legacy admob to the new? I have two apps I am trying to convert and the google explanation is meaningless to me, I am a visual learner

[@ramyasundaresan]

I have eclipse and now, I've downloaded Android Studio. can i reference the Android Studio's sdk path to the sdk folder that was installed with eclipse? And will I be able to use both the IDEs?

[@BilalDjaghout]

I'm new about Phone apps development, I'd like to "hear" your advice, from where can I start. Thanks Derek

[@derekbanas]

In my opinion you should start with my Android development for beginners tutorial. It starts off simple, but gets into complicated designs pretty quickly. At the end you'll find that developing Android Java apps is easy.

Could you do a lesson on broadcasting video from camera to an internet server for streaming it? to say a website

Derek Banas thanks for the tutorial, I hope to follow through all of them. In my quest to set up android studio (still a newb), I've been using eclipse with java 1.8. I downloaded 1.7 and was able to change my jacav version to 1.7 but my java version still says 1.8, is there another video in the series where you upgrade to 1.8? What should I do?

[@derekbanas]

Hamilton Chevez I believe AS is still buggy with Java 7. In preferences Click Compiler and Java Compiler on the left. Then set Project byte code version to 1.7. You can also try adding this to your build.Gradle file compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7 }

[@turbit2000]

Hi Derek, I love your tutorials. I am just about to take the plunge into Android development. What IDE would you recommend for someone just starting?

[@derekbanas]

Noel Healy Thank you :) Android Studio all the way

[@kacperolek4754]

Hey Derek! I have still trouble which tutorial should i follow, to get experience in Android development. First off, normal java tutorial by you right? How many episodes do I need? And then, Android development tutorial or android studio tutorial? Grettings :)

[@derekbanas]

This is the most up to date tutorial

[@shaheenthajudeen4398]

Hi Derek, really informative video. Subbed and can't wait to go through the rest! Me and a part of my school alumni are planning on an attempt to design an app for our school, like a portal that students and parents can log on to to keep up with their ward's attendance, results and progress. I'm confused about linking the app with the school database, as I have basic knowledge in Java programming that I still need to brush up on, I'd like to request you to shed some light?

[@adnFx2]

Another great tutorial as expected! Thanks. I was wondering if androidStudio* can open 2 projects in the same window just like eclipse?

[@derekbanas]

Thank you :) No, new projects are either opened in a new window or replace the project in the existing window

[@Anonymouzee]

Excelent... far better than other tutorials I've seen for Android Studio... There is not a dull moment in your video... LOL... always pumping info... but valuable info... Jussssst a 'petit' comment on Spanish things... 'Hello World!' === 'Hola Mundo!' 'Hello Earth!' === 'Hola Tierra!' THX!

[@derekbanas]

***** Thank you :) That would be fun to start the videos using different languages. I just might try that.

[@knudl.petersen9860]

Hi Derek I enjoy you teaching Thanks. Currently I would like to reode my ai2 app to java as your video demonstrates, but need to have it work on a as an android wear 2 app. Is that possible? Is there a youtube video for that requirement? Thanks K Petersen Ottawa Can

[@nomadoflight]

Hi Darak, while making the series of videos what version of Android studio did you use? Is it safe to download older version of android studio just to follow along your videos? And from where can I download the older version of Android studio? Need your help. Thanks

[@derekbanas]

+BABLU KUMAR Feel free to use the up to date version of Android Studio. Everything is basically the same.

[@nomadoflight]

But after creating a project, I noticed your initial code is different from mine. You have: public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity{}. But mine is: public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{}. So, will it not make any difference? And will you not make latest Android tutorials for beginners? Thanks for your reply.

[@derekbanas]

+BABLU KUMAR Yes the code will still work from what I tested. I'm not sure what I'll do about new tutorials. I don't want my channel to turn into repetitive Android tutorials. The name changes are very counterproductive and I wish Google would stop doing that to its developers.

[@nomadoflight]

+Derek Banas could you please provide me the link of latestt playlist of Android tutorials? thank you so much

[@wiispeed03]

my android studio when i download it is not giving an install prompt. The download is not a bundle anymore. Now i dont have any sdk's! please help!

[@derekbanas]

wiispeed03 Did you download from here developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html

[@wiispeed03]

[@wiispeed03]

wiispeed03 wait, i finally found them!

[@derekbanas]

wiispeed03 Great I'm glad you got it going.

[@diodax]

What did you do? I'm having the same issue as you.

[@MrBobes9]

I am stuck on the step with git hub ... first I dont know what it is for :D and tutorial didnt help much for me but I cant find the preferences about which you are talking at 10:07... I have windows.

[@derekbanas]

Filip Bobuski Feel free to skip GitHub if you don't plan on collaborating with others. I cover a bit more about fixing common Git errors in part 6

[@MrBobes9]

Derek Banas ok thank you. I am very happy that it will work without github because I am lost in that :) but I just want to add that I like your videos very much with the step by step instructions.

[@kishankedia2232]

hey hi Derek i am completely new to android however i know java quite well so will this course would be the right one for me to start or should i try a different basic course.

[@derekbanas]

Kishan kedia If you know the basics of Java you'll have no problem with this course.

[@kishankedia2232]

Thnx a lot for such a quick reply ..

[@Freewilled21]

Hey Derek, Quick question- I'm still in the beginning of the series but how do you test an app on your android via USB cable? I have already installed drivers but the internet is surprisingly convoluted when it comes to answering that. Or do you have a video on this you can redirect me to? Love the tutorials please don't stop them :).

[@derekbanas]

Sindorai Thank you :) You may need drivers for your device installed. When you have those you plug in the device and when you click run choose the option to run on the device instead of in the emulator.

[@Smoke3turbo]

Do they have the OEM drivers for windows 8?

[@burnburn14]

I dont know if youyr already working on it but are you continueing this series? I would really love to follow u and make an app using andriod studio

[@burnburn14]

OH heard in ur vid that you are nvm and thanks!!

[@derekbanas]

Yes the first part will be up tomorrow. They'll come out quickly after I get started.

[@EduardoHerrera]

Thanks God!!! It was about time to see a great tutorial on Android Studio. I was expecting a tutorial from you long time ago. I hope you reach the fragments using drawers very soon.!!!

[@derekbanas]

Thank you :) I'm glad you liked it. The new Android tutorial starts next week. I'll cover everything and do it modularly so that I don't miss anything.
