* [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio/)

If you downloaded Android Studio, extract it and then see [Setting Up Android Studio](#setting-up-android-studio).
If you downloaded Android Studio, install it with the default options and open the project located in `dolphin/Source/Android`

## Setting Up Android Studio

1. Launch Android Studio, which will start a first-launch wizard.
2. Choose a custom installation.
3. If offered a choice of themes, select your preference.
4. When offered a choice of components, uncheck the "Android Virtual Device" option. ![Android Studio Components][components]
5. Accept all licenses, and click Finish. Android Studio will download the SDK Tools package automatically. (Ubuntu users, if you get an error running the `mksdcard` tool, make sure the `lib32stdc++6` package is installed.)
6. At the Android Studio welcome screen, click "Configure", then "SDK Manager".
7. Use the SDK Manager to get necessary dependencies, as described in [Getting Dependencies](#getting-dependencies).
8. When done, follow the steps in [Readme.md](Readme.md#building-for-android) to compile and deploy the application.

## Executing Gradle Tasks

In Android Studio, you can find a list of possible Gradle tasks in a tray at the top right of the screen:

![Gradle Tasks][gradle]

Double clicking any of these tasks will execute it, and also add it to a short list in the main toolbar:

![Gradle Task Shortcuts][shortcut]
1. Wait for background tasks to complete on the bottom of the window.
2. Launch the Android SDK Manager by clicking on its icon in Android Studio's main toolbar:
![Android Studio Package Icon][package-icon]
3. Install or update the SDK Platform. Choose the API level as defined in the app module's [build.gradle](Source/Android/app/build.gradle#L7) file.
4. Install a CMake version as defined in the app module's [build.gradle](Source/Android/app/build.gradle#L99) file. The option won't appear until you select `Show Package Details`.
5. Select `Build Variants` on the left side of the window to choose the build variant and ABI you would like to compile for the `:app` module.
6. Select the green hammer icon in the main toolbar to build and create the apk in `Source/Android/app/build/outputs/apk`

Clicking the green triangle next to this list will execute the currently selected task.
## Compiling from the Command-Line

For command-line users, any task may be executed with `cd Source/Android` followed by `gradlew <task-name>`. In particular, `gradlew assemble` builds debug and release versions of the application (which are placed in `Source/Android/app/build/outputs/apk`).

## Getting Dependencies

Most dependencies for the Android project are supplied by Gradle automatically. However, Android platform libraries (and a few Google-supplied supplementary libraries) must be downloaded through the Android package manager.

1. Launch the Android SDK Manager by clicking on its icon in Android Studio's main toolbar:
![Android Studio Package Icon][package-icon]
2. Install or update the SDK Platform. Choose the API level selected as [compileSdkVersion](Source/Android/app/build.gradle#L4).
3. Install or update the SDK Tools. CMake, LLDB, and NDK. If you don't use android-studio, please check out https://github.com/Commit451/android-cmake-installer.

In the future, if the project targets a newer version of Android, or uses newer versions of the tools/build-tools packages, it will be necessary to use this tool to download updates.

The Android project is currently written in Java. If you are using Android Studio to contribute, you can import the project's code style from `code-style-java.jar`, located in `[Dolphin Root]/Source/Android`. Please organize imports before committing.
If you are using Kotlin, just use the built-in official Kotlin code style.
To install the Java code style in Android Studio, select the gear icon in the Code Style settings as shown, select `Import Scheme...` and select `dolphin/Source/Android/code-style-java.xml`. The Code Style menu should look like this when complete. ![Code Style Window][code-style]
You can now select any section of code and press `Ctrl + Alt + L` to automatically format it.
