1. With countless numbers of new applications, the Android App Industry is expanding daily, literally. Many of these applications are not developed by skilled builders, but by users who make use of computer software generating the App.

Android platform is based on open source software. This allows individual apps to be developed and then distributed with unique approval.
Ultimately, the undertaking for the skilled developer would be to create an app for Android OS. The creation method will require installing:

• Java Development Kit (JDK)
• Android Studio or Eclipse. These are the leading Integrated Development Environments (IDE) required for the development
• Android Software Development Kit (SDK)

The entire code environment approach of generating apps requires some knowledge of the coding language.
Not everyone can do it without any help or a comprehensive tutorial. Therefore, an adequate strategy is available for making Android apps that utilize unique tools that actually generate a drag-and-drop environment created from “creating blocks.”
These kinds of interfaces also help you set up your new app and have a visual look of it.
You need to have several technical skills for getting Android developer jobs.
After installing the above prerequisite you may follow these steps in Android Studio to make your first Android app!

          Step 1: Initiate the project

 
Choose File and click on New Project.
Enter the desired name of your application and the domain of your organization. All of these components are used to generate your name for the package in a format such as:

With this action, you’ve told Android Studio that you want to associate the code section with the created button.

Finally, all you need to do is run the app you’ve just created. Simply go to the top to ‘run’ and then from the drop-down menu select ‘run app.’ Follow the steps to run your app to start the emulator.
These were the initial baby steps for creating your first app in the Android app development environment. You have to harness more coding experience for building more dynamics apps.
Android applications can be developed on Windows, Linux or Mac. In addition, Google charges $25 payment to register as a developer.
