Android Studio (official webpage here) is the application that we use to develop apps for the Android platform. There are others as well but this one serves all purposes. Let's see how to install it and use it.
Before we get started, it's important that you understand a few things about these tutorials. They are:
.zip
file into the /opt/
directory./usr/local/
directory instead./opt/
directory, you can do the following:/opt/
directory using the following command on a terminal:sudo mv ~/Downloads/android-studio /opt/
/opt/
directory./opt/android-studio/
using the Files application.cd /opt/android-studio/bin/
./studio.sh
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 libbz2-1.0:i386
After everything is done, you must see something like what's shown below

In order to run and test android applications on your device, you must enable developer options on your android device. To do this, follow the following procedure:
.exe
file (which I'd suggest you do), just launch it (double click) and follow the instructions on screen..zip
file, then unzip the package and copy the android-studio folder into the Programs Folder (in your C:\ Drive). Open the folder in the destination after being copied and open the bin folder. Launch studio64.exe
(for 64-bit machines) or studio.exe
(for 32-bit machines).This is for people who use JetBrains products. You can also download and install the JetBrains Toolbox app v1.13 or beyond (link here). It supports Android Studio as an inherit option.
