1.1 Setting Up the Google Android SDK

If you have not done so already, you need to install and configure the Google Android SDK:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

The Google Android SDK is available in two different packages from Google:

  • The Android Studio Bundle includes an IDE (integrated development environment) based on Intellij IDEA. For installation instructions, see:

    http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=studio

  • The SDK Tools package for other development environments. Use this to install the Google Android SDK in your existing IDE. For installation instructions, see:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools

You need to download at least one platform into your environment, and Android 5.0 (API 21) is the minimum API level that the Jaspersoft Mobile SDK 1.9 for Android is compatible with. You can download and install any other platforms as well, so that you can test your application on the full range of Android platform versions that your application will support. For more information, see:

Finally, make sure you have version 21.1.2 or later of the Android build tools. For more information, see:
