Download Android Studio for your platform
Install with all options left as default.
- Remember where the Android SDK gets installed (e.g. c:\Users???\AppData\Local\Android\sdk)
Startup Android studio and choose Import project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.)
- Choose the build.gradle file in the folder app-Demo-Android
The SLProject demo app targets the Android SDK 24 (= Android 6.0)
- If not installed the IDE gives you a link for all missing SDK versions.
- Click on it to install it.
The SLProject uses the Android NDK (native development kit).
- Open the SDK manager with Tools > Android > SDK Manager
- Select the tab SDK Tools
  - Check the NDK option and click Apply
  - Check also the Google USB Driver option and click Apply
The SLProject C++ library is configured with cmake in the CMakeList.txt file.
- Install cmake if the IDE states it as missing.
Build the project with Hammer button or with Build > Make Project (Ctrl-F9)
After successful build you can start the app on a USB-connected device by clicking the green start button.
- If your device is not listed in the Deployment Targets dialog please check again your USB driver. In some cases, you have to download the appropriate driver from the device manufacturer.
