What is the Android SDK?

The Android SDK (Software Development Kit) is a set of tools and libraries you need to develop Android apps. It gives you everything from a debugger to comprehensive libraries.

Tools and libraries

The Android SDK includes a variety of essential tools:

• Debugger: Helps you test and debug your application efficiently.

• Libraries: Offers pre-written code to simplify common tasks.

• Handset Emulator: Simulates an Android device on your computer, making it easier to test your app in different environments.

Examples of using Android SDK

Example 1: Creating a simple application

• Create activity: Define the main activity to handle user interaction.

• Set layout: Use XML to design the app's user interface. Refer to the Statsig Android SDK documentation for more details.

• Run on emulator: Execute the app in the Android emulator to test its behavior. You can find more information on setting up an emulator here.

Example 2: Accessing device features

• Use camera API: Add camera functionality to capture photos or videos. For a more detailed guide, refer to the Statsig Android Camera API documentation.

• Location services: Implement GPS to get the user's location. Learn more about using location services in the Statsig Android SDK guide.

• Push notifications: Set up Firebase Cloud Messaging for real-time notifications. You can find more about push notifications here.
