Hello! I put up another video last night on my YouTube Channel. The subject is how to install Android Studio on your Mac OS X machine. Like the Eclipse ADT Bundle, it's pretty easy! http://youtu.be/t5oU7lQLRKw Enjoy! Mark

Will this replace Eclipse?

Mark is it out of beta now

@kittsy : It's still in beta...version 0.8.2 at this moment. But, I do find it much more stable than the last time I used it. I was able to load a Buzztouch project without any issues at all. @CSSZiegler : Whether it replaces Eclipse is completely up to you. It's just another offering in the Android development pool. Since it's backed by Google, and since it's explicitly designed for developing Android apps, I think you'll find quite a few cool features that you won't with Eclipse (which is a general development environment). But, ultimately, it's up to you which environment you use! Mark

Cool thanks. I'll give it a try

Me too I really want to leave eclipse

Great job Mark! Great information and demo. Tony Buzztouch

What about tutorial on how to install on windows?

That's next up, @Kennedy! What flavor...7 or 8?

Windows 8

Thank you Mark. Mike

Windows 7

Nice addition, thanks Mark.

Thank you! LA

Thanks Marc! I have it downloaded but was afraid of errors with BT apps. Great video!

So close to getting my android app up! Yeah Great video Mark Thank You :) Could you lead us to how to implement google play services? Thanks!

@Sheri : Check this out (http://youtu.be/UgurXKgP2AE). It's for Eclipse, but shows you how to deal with Google Play Services. Android Studio install tutorial coming For Windows 7, 8 and Ubuntu soon! Mark

Thanks Mark - I have watched the ECLIPSE video and I do know how with Eclipse but then Eclipse Crashes with other errors mainly with emulator issues --- I love Android Studio performance much better but unable to get the google play services with my package like Eclipse --- hmm will investigate further and post my findings Perhaps a build on my PC will work better Thanks again for the great tutorials - I have gotten closer to building android apps because of them :)

First up: I got the Android compile working a year or so ago, and never revisited it. (I'm an iOS guy). I just picked up a tablet for Droid development, so trying to compile a project. OK, so I walked through the video, and after a couple of hiccups, managed to get Android Studio to load. Managed to import a project, but that's where I pretty much got stuck :) The BT read me relates to Eclipse, and I couldn't figure out where to add the library references (Eg: Android 4.0) While I'm at it, where do I stick the image files? @Mark: How about a simple video on compiling a apk / avd of a simple BT project? Some guidance would be appreciated. (Yes I did a search first :P ) Graham. FC

Hi Graham, I have been working on this, and have not yet been successful in getting a BT app to compile in Android Studio. I can get it imported, but, because of the move to the Gradle compiler, there's something different that's preventing it from compiling, and I haven't quite figured it all out yet. As soon as I get it figured out (which may be a while from now), I'll absolutely post a video on it. For now, in a typical Android project, images go in res > drawable, and need to follow the 0_9a_z naming convention, which means no caps, spaces, or special character. Mark

Awesome, thanks for the concise answer. I'll head back to Eclipse for now.
