Android Development Setup

Follow these steps to ensure the Android development environment is correctly set up:

1. Install Java Development Kit (JDK)

   Install JDK 17 or later to support Android development. Download it from the official Oracle site:

   • Download JDK 17 (Oracle)

2. Install Android Studio

   Download and install the latest stable version of Android Studio (recommended: Android Studio Giraffe for 2025 or Android Studio Flamingo for 2024). You can download the appropriate version based on your system from the links below:

   • Android Studio Archive (All Versions)

3. Set Up Android SDK

   Ensure that you have the Android SDK installed. You can check and install it in Android Studio by going to File > Settings > System Settings > Android SDK.

   • Set Up Android SDK in Android Studio

4. Install Specific Node.js, npm, and nvm Versions

   For React Native and other development tools, you'll need to install Node.js, npm, and nvm (Node Version Manager). Here's how to set them up:

   • Install Node Version Manager (nvm):

     Download the nvm-setup.zip for Windows from the official GitHub repository, and run the nvm-setup.exe to install nvm.

   • Install a Specific Version of Node.js :

     The project requires a minimum Node.js version of 20. To install a specific version, such as Node.js v20, run the following command. For example, to install **Node.js v20** or Node.js v22** run:

     node --version

     v20.x.x   ,
     
     v22.x.x

   • specific version of nvm :

     nvm install 0.39.7

   • Install Specific npm Version:

     If you want to install a specific version of npm, run the following command after installing Node.js. For example, to install **npm v10.9.2**, run:

     npm install -g npm@10.9.2

   • Verify Specific Node.js and npm Versions:

     After installation, verify that Node.js and npm are correctly installed by running these commands:

     node -v

     This will display the installed Node.js version (e.g., v20.11.0).

     npm -v

     This will display the installed npm version (e.g., 10.9.2).

5. React Native Project with Specific Version

   Follow these steps to create a new React Native project using a specific version (e.g., version 0.77.1):

   • Project with Specific Version

     Run the following command to create a new React Native project with version 0.77.1 :

     npx react-native0.77.3 init MyReactNativeApp

   • Verify React Native Version

     To verify the React Native version installed in your project, use the following command:

     npm ls react-native 

   6. Kotlin Version Setup

   • Set Kotlin version in android/build.gradle:

   kotlinVersion = "2.0.21"

   • Enable New Architecture:

   newArchEnabled=true
