| <p>To help you understand some fundamental Android APIs and coding practices, a variety of sample |
| code is available from the Android SDK Manager. Each version of the Android platform available |
| from the SDK Manager offers its own set of sample apps.</p> |
| |
| <p>To download the samples:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Launch the Android SDK Manager. |
| <ul> |
| <li>On Windows, double-click the SDK Manager.exe file at the root of the Android SDK |
| directory.</li> |
| <li>On Mac or Linux, open a terminal to the {@code tools/} directory in the |
| Android SDK, then execute {@code android sdk}.</ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Expand the list of packages for the latest Android platform.</li> |
| <li>Select and download <em>Samples for SDK</em>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>When the download is complete, you can find the source code for all samples at this location:</p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:2em"> |
| <code><sdk>/samples/android-<version>/</code> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The {@code <version>} number corresponds to the platform's |
| <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels">API level</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>You can easily create new Android projects with the downloaded samples, modify them |
| if you'd like, and then run them on an emulator or device.</p> |
