Creating Project using Android Studio

Overview

This tutorial helps you creating a new Android application project using Android Studio. This is going to be a common step for all the tutorials that use EMDK for Android API.

Creating The Project

1. If you have launched a fresh Android Studio, it should look like this:

   

   So just click the first button "Start a new Android Studio project" under "Quick Start" section.

   

2. If you already have some open project in Android Studio, it should look like:

   

   Click on the "File" button at the top left and select "New Project" option.

   

3. This would pop up the project creation screen where you need to specify project details.

   

4. Assign Application Name specific to your tutorial of EMDK feature along with Company Domain and click "Next".

   

5. Select EMDK 3.1 (API 16) (Symbol Technologies, Inc.) (API 16) or EMDK 3.1 (API 19) (Symbol Technologies, Inc.) (API 19) depending on the project/EMDK feature requirement and click "Next".

   

6. Select "Blank Activity" option on "Add an activity to Mobile" screen and click "Next".

   

7. Click "Finish" and your new Android Studio project will be created.

   

   

   Note: The \assets folder is not present in the project structure by default unless you have created any profile. But, you can add it by simply right clicking the app directory and selecting Assets Folder under New > Folder option.

   

   

   Click "Finish" and this is how \assets folder can be manually added to the project structure.
