You will first need to check whether your computer supports the minimum system requirements for installing Android Studio. You can find this information usually at the bottom of the page from where you install Android Studio. If you need more detailed instructions on how to set up Android Studio, you can refer to codelab at Android Developer Studio and understand its installation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/build-your-first-android-apk-app-using-android-studio\/#What_is_the_Codelab\" >What is the Codelab?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/build-your-first-android-apk-app-using-android-studio\/#How_to_Start\" >How to Start?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/build-your-first-android-apk-app-using-android-studio\/#Create_an_Android_App_Project_Using_the_Template\" >Create an Android App Project Using the Template\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Codelab\"><\/span><b>What is the Codelab?\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Codelab is where you create your first Android app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You start with a project template that is offered to you by Android Studio.
