  1. Change directories into the Android SDK’s tools/ path.

  2. Execute:

    android list targets

    This prints a list of the available Android platforms that you’ve downloaded for your SDK. Find the platform against which you want to compile your app. Make a note of the target id. We recommend that you select the highest version possible. You can still build your app to support older versions, but setting the build target to the latest version allows you to optimize your app for the latest devices.

Using the command line

  • To create a new Android project, open a command-line, navigate to the tools/ directory of your SDK and run:

    android create project \ --target \ --name \ --path path/to/your/project \ --activity \ --package

    Where :

    target is the "build target" for your application. It corresponds to an Android platform library (including any add-ons, such as Google APIs) that you would like to build your project against. To see a list of available targets and their corresponding IDs, execute: android list targets.

    name is the name for your project. This is optional. If provided, this name will be used for your .apk filename when you build your application.

    path is the location of your project directory. If the directory does not exist, it will be created for you.

    activity is the name for your default Activity class. This class file will be created for you inside /src// . This will also be used for your .apk filename unless you provide a name.

    package is the package namespace for your project, following the same rules as for packages in the Java programming language.

    for instance our hello world project was created using :

    android create project \ --target 1 \ --name hello_world \ --path ./hello_world \ --activity helloworldActivity \ --package com.app.helloworld

    To update a project, run the following command :

    android update project --name --target --path
