For example, to be able to launch x86 emulator with Android and Google API version 27, install system image package system-images android-27 google_apis x86. For emulator you need to install the package emulator, as well as system images you want to used with the emulator. To communicate with device or emulator (upload binaries, execute binaries, etc.) a special tool called Android Debug Bridge, or simply ADB, is used. Then you can use sdkmanager tool to install NDK:
The following steps describe how to install everything using sdkmanager.Äownload and unpack SDK tools only. Though it is possible to work from the command line, as well. The recommended way to manage Android development is using Android Studio.
There are generally two ways to get the required software for Android development: SDK is used to develop GUI-based applications with Java and comes with Android Studio, while for native ( C/C++) development NDK is used. In general, the development for Android is done using cross-compilation tools and officially supplied Android Studio. Android was ported to numerous hardware architectures and platforms, including ARM, x86, MIPS. UI is written in Java, while the core in C/C++. from 2005, and then by Google releasing the first version in 2008. It was initially developed by Android Inc. Android is based on the modified version of GNU/Linux kernel plus other open-source software. Though it is considered to be open-source, but lot of manufacturers (including Google itself) supply proprietary components. 32-bit rpm: is an open-source mobile operating system developed by Google.For older devices with legacy BIOS, you may try the 32-bit ISO. Most modern devices should be able to run the 64-bit ISO. You can choose one of these files depends on your devices. Support arm arch apps via the native bridge mechanism.Portrait apps can run in a landscape device without rotating the screen. Enable ForceDefaultOrientation on devices without known sensors.Add Taskbar as an alternative launcher which puts a start menu and recent apps tray on top of your screen and support freeform window mode.Auto-mount external usb drive and sdcard.Support Multi-touch, Audio, Wifi, Bluetooth, Sensors, Camera and Ethernet (DHCP only).
Support secure booting from UEFI and installing to UEFI disk.Support hardware accelerated codecs on devices with Intel HD & G45 graphics family.Support OpenGL ES 2.0 via SwiftShader for software rendering on unsupported GPU devices.
Support OpenGL ES 3.x hardware acceleration for Intel/AMD/Nvidia, VMware and QEMU(virgl) by Mesa 18.1.2.Support both 64-bit and 32-bit kernel and userspace.The 8.1-rc1 release is based on the latest Android 8.1.0 Oreo MR1 release (8.1.0_r33). The prebuilt images are available in the following site: This is the first release candidate for Android-x86 8.1 (oreo-x86). The Android-x86 project is glad to announce the 8.1-rc1 release to public.
