[kamranbukhari]

Recently, I have been given an assignment to develop android application. Since, It was my first time to actually have a taste of it so I googled alot! But in all seriousness, I couldn't get hands on Netbeans and Android tutorial for beginners. So, I am going to help you with whatever I learned these past few days. I will post further in follow-up post.

I will write down steps for now. Pictorial tutorial will be uploaded later.​

​

1) Download & Install Android SDK (Stand-alone version)​

​

Remember, the android SDK only installs the basic tools and nothing for development. You can't even run an emulator after installing SDK. For development and emulator, follow further steps.​

​

2) Run SDK Manager. You will come across various APIs and Tools by Android. Download what's your need. Here are the basic options that you can use to start developing.​

​

SDK Manager

​

3) If you have Netbeans installed. Then go to next step. Else download & install from HERE​

​

4) Start Netbeans. You will be needing NBAndroid package to start android development in Netbeans. There are two steps (online and offline) to get NBAndroid on your machine.​

• Tools -> Plugins -> Settings -> Add -> http://nbandroid.org/updates/updates.xml -> OK
• You will find Android related plugins in Updates section under Mobility category. Select NBAndroid

OR

• Download NBAndroid package from http://nbandroid.org/downloads/nbandroid-14-10-28-122123.zip
• Tools -> Plugin -> Downloaded -> Add Plugins -> Select all nbm files (from above Zip extracted files) -> OK

5) Once done, you will now set ANDROID SDK location in Netbeans. Follow this..​

​

• Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Android -> Enter SDK Location -> OK

​

6) You are now ready for Android Development. Follow these for your new android Project​

​

• File -> New Project -> You will find ANDROID in categories -> Select Android Project -> Write Project Name -> Write package name e.g. com.android.test.app -> Write Activity Name (Its your MAIN) -> Select Target -> OK

DONE!!!​
