Android is an operating system that is very frugal because it has been successfully used on electronic devices such as phones, clocks, tvs, laptops, tablets and even in modern cars you will also find android.
This means if you have dreams of becoming an android developer then you are not wrong in making decisions because android is a system that is used all over the world and continues to grow at a rapid rate and spread across many electronic devices.
To be able to create an Android app then you need to know Java as well as XML (Extensible Markup Language). Most of us if we only hear Java then we become discouraged. But you need not fear because Google is trying every day to simplify the development of the android app.
Google also has a website that provides training on how to create an android app as well as many examples that will help you develop your app. You can visit that website by using the link below

Today we will look at the things needed to make android apps:
1. COMPUTER
In order to create an android app you need a computer that has the following capabilities or features.
If you have a windows computer then make sure your computer has the above features. Also if you have Mac and linux then make sure it has all the same parameters above.
2. ANDROID STUDIO APP
Android Studio is a program that uses it as an IDE (integrated development environment). It means that the whole process of developing an android app, testing it and even installing it in the playstore will take place in the android studio. Also all the testing activities for your app are done inside the android studio.
Using android studio you will be able to create mobile apps, clocks, android auto as well as android Tv. Android Studio has been developed by Google to simplify android app design activities. You can download android studio using the link below then install it on your computer

3. JavaSe (Java Development Kit)
programming language that is used to create the Android app is Oracle's Java SE. Java SE was developed by Sun Microsystems and later purchased by Oracle.
There are three types of Java. There is Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) which is used on a large computer network. Then there's Java ME (Java Micro Edition) which is used to create a mobile application. Java SE is more powerful than Java ME and is the one used by Google to create Android Os.
To install JavaSe (Java Development Kit) on your computer you must visit the link below and click on the download section. Make sure you download and install JavaSe (Java Development Kit) because otherwise you will not be able to create android app.

So these are the three essentials you need to make android applications.
