What is needed for android sdk?

Question

Java

Hello!
The question is childish, I installed android studio and sdk, I have never written in java before. I have a ssd of only 120GB and there are already a lot of things worth it, I launched andtoid sdk manager and then I was a little crazy, if I upload everything to the computer, then I stupidly don’t have enough space, but I think you don’t need to install everything. What to choose from the list to cover the largest number of devices?

Answer 1

For robots, you only need the SDK Platform, SDK Tools.
Here's how I do it:
Use the Genymotion emulator
Install the plugin first, here's the instruction and you will be happy
Choose the SDK Platform of the version you will write for, I have selected for API 22, 19, 17
And the software works starting from Android 3.1, since I work with USB Host, it simply won’t compile for the version below, since there is no support for robots from USB in older versions of the droid
