Abstract

The first thing that we need to do before we can learn Android Application Development is to put together a working Android Application Development Environment on our development workstation. Hopefully you have an entry-level quad-core AMD or Intel computer with 4GB or more of DDR memory and Windows 7 or Windows 8; the computer that I will be using for this book is a $398 ACER 64-bit quad-core AMD, running at 3.1GHz with 4GB of DDR3 memory and 1TB hard disk drive and Windows 7 that I picked up at Walmart.
