- Install the latest version of [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html) (tested with Android Studio Meerkat | 2024.3.1).
### Select the following to be installed in SDK Manager (options)
- Android SDK 36.0 (or latest) - add any older APIs if targetting
- Build Tools 36.0.0 (or latest)
- NDK 28.0.13004108 (Side by Side)

## Install openFrameworks
- Download openFrameworks 0.12.1 or later from the [download page](http://openframeworks.cc/download/) or from [github](https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/).
Press the Play button next to the `androidEmptyExample` shown in the toolbar. It will build the app and deploy it to your Android device after a few seconds (or prompt you to deploy it to a suitable emulator). If the app runs, congratulations! You have setup openFrameworks.
- You may need to adjust the following numbers to match your installed Android Studio and Android SDK. Android Studio should offer to fix these values for you when you open the appropriate build files.
- The Gradle version specified in `/build.gradle`
- The `compileSdkVersion`, `buildToolsVersion`, `minSdkVersion`, `targetSdkVersion` values
in `/addons/ofxAndroid/ofAndroidLib/build.gradle` and `/apps/myApps/androidEmptyExample/build.gradle`
