Once your project is created, it will open up in the Android Studio interface, which again is almost identical to the IntelliJ interface, including the styling of the code.

And that's going to create the Android app. And then I'm going to leave the minimum SDK at the default and then just hit finish. Make sure to change the language to Java. And I'm just going to leave the default name for my app and a package name. And here, what I'm going to do is change the save location into chapter five, Android final and hit open. I'm going to choose phone and tablet under the templates, and then choose empty activity and hit next. So from here, we'll go to the projects button and then create a new project. We have mostly the same buttons on the left here, including the customized button and the plugins button. So once you've done all of that you should end up on the welcome screen, which should look pretty familiar from when we worked with IntelliJ. And I recommend going through all the default settings for what we're doing right here, because really all we're doing is making a simple hello world project with Android. And it's going to suggest to install other tools, whether to do a custom install or the default install.

And what I mean by that is Android Studio is going to suggest to download a given version of the Android software development kit or SDK. And once it downloads install the application going through the default installation process. So you can download Android Studio for your appropriate platform. So from here I'm going to click the download options button to see a list of the Android Studio download. And of course, if that link ever changes just do a web search for Android Studio download and it should take you to the right place. You can download Android Studio at /studio. So you'll notice a lot of similarities as we create our project here. As I mentioned previously, this can be done with IntelliJ and Android Studio is also based off of IntelliJ as well. And now we're going to use Java to create an Android application using Android Studio.
