macOS Anyone install the Google Android SDK? What are the steps?

[techmonkey]

Im a bit confused on how I can install and program for the Google Android OS. Google has the SDK free for download, but I cant figure out what else I need to download/install.

Honestly, doesn't matter. Go grab the one for Java or Java EE or maybe even classic. Make sure you get the rest of the Android requirements.

I haven't had any luck getting it to work.

Apparently the emulator is real-good at seg faulting...

I recently started developing android apps using a MacBook. The documentation didn't capture the different issues I was having. Anyway after a few hours of work, I got everything working ok.

So I documented the whole procedure here:

Hope this helps

Android documentation sucks. (Honestly it does.) Your best bet is finding a youtube vid on how to install it if you are having problems. There used to be one around back when I installed it since I too was having issues.
