Android Studio is the official IDE for Android development and comes bundled with the Kotlin compiler, an emulator manager, and Gradle (the build system Android projects use).
Setup steps
- Download Android Studio from developer.android.com/studio for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
- Run the installer and accept the default components — this includes the Android SDK, an emulator image, and the SDK command-line tools.
- On first launch, the Setup Wizard downloads the latest stable Android SDK platform. This can take several minutes on a fresh install.
- Create an Android Virtual Device (AVD) via Device Manager — pick a modern device profile (e.g. Pixel 8) and the latest system image so your emulator behaves like a real, current phone.
Once setup finishes, you should be able to open the Welcome screen and choose New Project.
