hey everyone welcome back to the channel Jahmal here and today we're just going to be continuing
our appium series and today we're going to be learning how to install android studio
so android studio is definitely an application we're going to use and need because it has the
emulators and that's what we're going to use to interact with appium and install our app
so the first thing you want to do is do a quick search for android i do not have android studio
so i'm just going to open up safari and i'm just going to go to google
so just type google i'm going to search for android studio
all right so i'm on a google page i'm just going to scroll down to this one download android studio
and sdk tools so now that the page is load that we see the big green button in the middle download
android studio and it's going to open up the terms and conditions and you just want to scroll to that
you should read it before you you know check the terms and conditions
but depending on what you're using maca intel i'm using an intel chip so i'm just going to
click the mac intel version now we're just going to let that download click
allow and it's just going to download so you're going to take a few seconds
all right now that that's downloaded let's go to our downloads and look for that file so we can get
it installed and move it to the applications folder so just find my file that's the dmg
just let that go to the verification process
and it's finished all right now we got this little
android studio window that appears let me close some of these windows
what we're going to do is just drag this android studio icon into our applications folder
and that's just going to copy and add it to our list of applications so now that's done
let's open up our app drawer let's do another search for android and there it is android studio
just close that and it's very fine as well next we want to do is be sure you want to open this
and we're gonna click open and now we have android studio arctic fox 2020.3.1
all right so this is going to look a little different for you i already had android studio
so it kept some of my settings but this is what it's going to look like it may ask you
for your type of theme some quick tips but once you have that you can come to here and you're
just going to start creating just a simple application you really don't need this but
you're just going to use this to open up android studio you can see i have an application too i
can't use it because i've already been used let me just add another tooth of that all right that's
good be sure to choose what language you have java or kotlin to choose from and your minimum sdk
i'm running api 26 and then you're going to click finish so once you have android studio launched
this is a screen that you want to see you can see some of the new features that was introduced
in this new version of android studio so if you're interested in that you can read through some of
the new updates or what's new and right now gradle is just going to configure the project bring in
some of those dependencies update some indexes and that's just going to take a minute or two
but once that's done we're just going to open up our avd and that's going to be right here to the
right abd manager just open that up as you can see i already have a couple virtual devices created
but i'm just going to show you how you can create that so you just hit create virtual device
we have a list of devices we can choose from um pixel 4 pixel excel we're just going to start off
let's say with the pixel 4 so i'm just going to choose this one next you just hit the next button
all right from here i already installed the q api api 29 um but you can download
any one that you want to download so in this example i'm going to download the r
which is api 30 one of the latest ones for android studio and just let that go to its
installation and download phase probably take a minute or two once that's done click finish
so now we have our apis installed and our avd name is pixel 4 api 29
i like using lower case with some high fins it just makes my scripts and everything looks better
yep so now that looks good keep it in portrait mode graphics automatic sometimes you'll be able
to choose a different option and you want to just enable the device frame click finish all
right next we have our device created you have a list of options here you can edit the device
duplicate wipe cold boot you know show on this few details and even delete it so what we're going to
do is click the green triangle which is to launch this avd emulator and now we have our pixel 4
launch and it's going to take some time to fully boot up so let's give it a minute or two again
all right now that our app is fully booted we can just use our mouse scroll up and you can see the
list of default apps that the emulator come with um all these apps are pretty much functioning
if i click let's say youtube you can see the youtube app launch i'm just going to do a
quick search on my channel so i'm just going to enter jamal richard and see what pops up
now you can see my channel popped up i do have another video how to install appium so you can
see that as well listed as well as a list of my other videos so everything is running nicely
so that's working now we're just going to close that
and now that we have android and our emulator fired up let's open up the contacts page so
this is going to be the application we're going to be demoing within appium so we're going to
learn how to interact with some of these elements and how we can set up our desired capabilities
but i'm going to put that in another video so stay tuned if you like this video
