 JAVA JDK
The Java Development Kit (JDK) is one
of three core technology packages used
in Java programming, along with the
JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and the JRE
(Java Runtime Environment). The JDK
allows developers to create Java
programs that can be executed and run
by the JVM and JRE.

 Android SDK Manager
SDK stands for software development
kit. Also known as a devkit, the SDK is a
set of software-building tools for a
specific platform, including the building
blocks, debuggers and, often, a
framework or group of code libraries
such as a set of routines specific to an
operating system (OS).
The sdk manager is a command line tool
that allows you to view, install, update,
and uninstall packages for the Android
SDK. The Android SDK contains a
debugger, libraries, an emulator,
documentation, sample code,
and tutorials.

 Installing the Android SDK Tools
SDK stands for software development
kit. Also known as a devkit, the SDK is a
set of software-building tools for a
specific platform, including the building
blocks, debuggers and, often, a
framework or group of code libraries
such as a set of routines specific to an
operating system (OS).
Configuring the Android SDK Manager
The Android SDK Manager manages the
various versions of the Android SDK
currently installed
on your computer. When it is launched,
you will see a list of items and whether
or not they are currently installed on
your computer.
Configuring the Android SDK Manager
Check the relevant tools, documentation,
and platforms you need for your project.
Once you have selected the items you
want, click the Install button to download
them. Because it takes a while to
download from Google’s server, it is a
good idea to download only what you
need immediately, and download the rest
when you have more time.
 What is API?
API stands for application programming
interface. It allows two applications to
communicate with one another to access
data. Every action you take on your
phone, like sending a direct message or
checking the score of the baseball game,
uses an API to access and deliver that
information.
When all the packages are installed, you will be
asked to restart the ADB (Android Debug Bridge).
Click Yes.
