– Target: Google API (x86 System Image) (Google In) – API Level 19
– CPU: Intel Atom (x86)
– Memory: RAM 768/Heap 32
– Internal Storage: 200MiB
– SD card: 200MiB
3. Test your deveopment environment using the sample project (legacy-Snake). Make sure you can run/debug the project on the AVD created.
4. Develop your first Android App, which simply displays the following text: “Hello Android, my name is <your full name>.”
With the following settings (note that naming convention and settings MUST be applied to all future assignments)
– Application Name: Week1App
