Android Development Basic - Setting up Windows's environment variables
When preparing a new development environment for android development, following environment variables are essential to be setup.
1) JAVA_HOME (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24), // this is pointing to the Java JDK directory.
2) ANDROID_HOME (e.g. C:\Android\android-sdk), // this is pointing to you installed Android SDK directory.
3) PATH (e.g. c:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools; // this will be pointing to the common tools that you going to use in command prompt.
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin;
%ANDROID_HOME%\tools; )
With the above environment variable setup, you can get started easily with android development.
