The first thing to do it's to make sure we have all the tools installed and working properly, so, the first thing to verify is that the Java Development Kit it's installed correctly.

Getting The Right Tools Android it's a very interesting and powerful mobile platform, which have been spreading all around the world since 2007. Today, we can find it everywhere, from smartphones to watches, from tv to cars, etc. For that reason, developers who target to Android development, have a really big world to explore, and we're gonna start exploring it.

Well, those tools are:     1-Java Development Kit (JDK)     2-Android SDK     3-An Integrated Development Enviroment (IDE) Each one have it's elemental function on the development process, so it's important to have them all installed and ready to work.
