Tuto WINDEV Mobile 25

26 Part 2: Android application Overview To start developing with WINDEV Mobile for an Android platform, we are going to create a first project. This project will contain a window used to display a message. This first example will present the main concepts of development for Android with WINDEV Mobile. Before creating our first project for Android, the development computer must be configured. Necessary configuration for Android To develop an application for the Android platform, the following elements must be installed on the development computer: • The JDK: The JDK (Java Development Kit) distributed by Oracle is used to compile the generated Java files. • The Android SDK of Google: The Android SDK (Software Development Kit) is a set of files and applications distributed by Google in order to allow the compilation of applications for the Android operating system. Caution : The Android SDK includes sections corresponding to the versions of device platforms (5, 6, 7, ...). The download and the setup of Android SDK are proposed if necessary when generating the Android application from WINDEV Mobile. • Gradle tool: This tool is required to compile and generate Android applications. Gradle can be downloaded and installed if necessary when generating the Android application from WINDEV Mobile. See the online help for more details (download addresses, ...). We advise you to restart the computer once JDK and SDK have been installed. My first project Creating the project We are now going to create our first project for Android. Answer A corrected project is available. To open this project: 1. Display the WINDEV Mobile home page (Ctrl + <). 2. Click "Tutorial" and select "My Android project (Answer)".
