Install Android Studio from the official developer site, let the setup wizard install the SDK and emulator components, then create and run a small test project.
Steps
- Check the official system requirements
- Download Android Studio from developer.android.com
- Run the setup wizard and install recommended SDK components
- Create an Empty Activity and run it on an emulator
Check the result
Test the change before moving on. Android menu names vary across Google
Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, Motorola, OnePlus and other phones, and a carrier or
work profile can also restrict a setting. Use Settings search when a label is
different and check the support page for the exact model before erasing data,
resetting connections or changing an account.
Privacy and safety
Read every confirmation screen, keep a current backup and grant only the
permissions the task requires. Stop if the phone becomes unusually hot, shows
physical battery damage or asks for a password or payment on an unexpected
site.
Official reference
Google Android Help is the
baseline reference; the phone maker and carrier may document additional steps.
