Starting Android Development, Creating a Todo App

Despite many articles relating to Android on SitePoint, it’s been quite a while since we’ve had a real ‘beginners’ tutorials. How better to fill that gap than with a staple of beginners tutorials. The
‘To Do’ App.

Needed softwares

For this tutorial I will use:
1. IntelliJ IDEA, you may use any IDE you want. I would recommend Android Studio, which is based on IntelliJ IDEA.
2. An Android SDK, which provides you the API libraries and developer tools necessary to build, test, and debug apps for Android.
3. An Android smartphone. If you don’t have one, you can use an emulator.

Please bear in mind that one of Android’s biggest positives and flaws is it’s flexibility. I will be using a particular IDE and SDK version, if your setup is different, then settings, code and screenshots may also be different. Hopefully things will still be clear.

You will need basic Java knowledge to follow this tutorial.
