By clicking “Join MOTODEV Now”, you will be sent to the Join MOTODEV page. Here you must input a valid e-mail address. Once finished, click the Continue button. Next you will be taken to the Email Confirmation Page, you must visit the inbox of the e-mail you have chosen to register with and follow the confirmation link.
The email will have the subject titled: From there you will be taken to the Create Your Profile page. All required fields are marked with a red asterisk. Once you are done filling in the form click the Save button. Now you are taken to the page notifying you that your account has been activated.  
Use the link provided to continue to download MOTODEV Studio. Step 2: Install MOTODEV Studio for Android
To ensure that the Java Support Test is successfully please ensure you have installed the latest version of JDK. (See the links under SDK requirements for JDK downloads) 
If the selected installation directory does not exist please click Yes to create it, if prompted to do so. Once installation is complete click Finish, and choose to launch MOTODEV Studio.
At first launch you will be prompted for a workspace, you may avoid this dialog next time by clicking the checkbox. The default workspace is generated for you. You may change the location of the workspace to wherever you like. 
Next you will have to configure MOTODEV Studio to use the Android SDK. At this point we have not yet downloaded the Android SDK, and so we must select the first option to download it. Once selected click Next. Step 3: Download Android SDK from MOTODEV StudioYou must have network connectivity to proceed beyond this point. 
Next you will be presented with an Android SDK version for your platform. Click Next to Proceed. On the next page accept the License Terms and Conditions. Once the SDK is downloaded you will be presented with a screen stating that MOTODEV has been installed and configured. We are now ready to proceed with testing your first Android Application. Step 4: Setup the Development EnvironmentFrom this point you may choose to install additional packages when asked, which I recommend. It is up to you whether or not you want to send Google your usage data. To install additional packages, in the Android SDK and AVD Manager, select the available packages on the side menu.
Here I have selected all available add-ons but you may choose just a few to save space on your HDD. You may definitely want to download the USB Driver package, this will aid you when developing on a read device. Click Install Selected to proceed with the download. Depending on how many items you have selected and your network speed this may take a while. 
Choose to accept all and click Install Accepted. Once installation is complete you may be prompted to restart MOTODEV. If so click YES.
Once MOTODEV is done loading the SDK content, you may be prompted to create a new Android Virtual device. Click Yes to create a new AVD. 
Name your AVD ( no spaces are allowed). Click Next to continue to the next step. 
Specify the target Android platform (I recommend the 1.6 platform to match development phones in the lab ), use the default Skin for now and the default AVD path. It is up to you whether or not to allocate space for a SD Card. If you do start small, say 10 MB. Click finish to create the device.
Before launching the emulator we must ensure that the emulator will run within its own window. 
Under the Device Management tab located below your editor window navigate to the list of your virtual devices, right-click the virtual device you wish to launch under Android Virtual Devices and select Properties.   
Under Startup Options and under the User Interface tab, ensure that the “Don’t show Emulator Window externally” checkbox is unchecked. You may then click OK. You may launch the device by using the AVD Manager, launch it now by clicking the AVD icon, which can be found on the MOTODEV Tool Bar at the top of the IDE. The Android Emulator has now been launched. 
You may explore the different applications in the emulator to become more familiar with the Android User Interface. An Android application has a unique “look and feel”, you will come to know well as you start building your own application. For debugging your applications it is best you keep the emulator running, MOTODEV will load up new instances of your application as you debug, this way you don’t have to keep re-launching the emulator every time you make a change to your application.
In MOTODEV Studio click File -> New -> Android Project Using Studio for Android. 
Give your project a name such as “HelloAndroid”, notice there must be no spaces for project names. Select the target platform of the AVD you are currently running. The rest can be left at the default, although I do encourage you to change these when creating your own application, this just for demonstration purposes. Click Finish once you are done. 
Notice: In the Package Explorer, you now have your project listed. To run your Project simply right-click the project and select Run As -> Android Application. That’s it, if done correctly you should have the emulator running displaying the message “Hello World”: 
If you project is not running, you may need to specify a new Run Configuration. Please see: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/eclipse-adt.html Under the section: Creating a Run Configuration for more details. Instructions are for Eclipse, but work just the same for MOTODEV Studio.

Select your virtual device you wish to launch and click the “Start…” button on the side of the dialog.
