How One can Get Started with Android App Development.

To Start with Android App Development is not a big deal. Anyone who is familiar with coding and having a little bit of  programming language concept can start building there Android Apps.

Android is an open source and Linux-based operating system for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by Google. Recently Google has launched there latest release Android 7.0, Nougat on August 22,2016.

Once you have learned Java, the next step is to learn how to use Java to create Android apps. For that you will need the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). The Android SDK provides all the API libraries and tools you need build an Android app. Google offers the Android Developer Tools (ADT) bundle which includes the SDK, a version of the Eclipse IDE with the ADT plugins, and the Android Platform-tools with the Android emulator.

Developing an Android app is more than just Java, you need to understand how the Android UI is constructed (using XML), and how to access the different Android subsystems. Google has a series of tutorials about Android development. The  Getting Started tutorial shows you the bare essentials of Android app development.
