I know you are thinking that why we need to install Java and Android Studio. Because android studio behind the scene uses Java and Android SDK to run the app on your android device and that tools comes with Android Studio. And we need Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to connect our device with our computer. Additionally you can install but there are some components that missed out so simply install Android Studio.

If you open Android Studio, and click on more action button, you will see a option called SDK Manager and there you can see SDK tools where you can see Android Emulator, Android SDK Platform-Tools, Android SDK Build-Tools. These are the main tools that we need.

  • If you are using Windows simple open environment variable and add the path of Android SDK.
