Your First Project

This guide walks you through creating a complete Android app using only natural language prompts.

End-to-End Workflow

1. Create a project

   Create a new Android project called HelloWorld with package name com.example.helloworld

   This creates a Jetpack Compose project with all the standard Gradle configuration.

2. Build the project

   Build my HelloWorld Android project

   This runs a debug build and produces an APK.

3. Start an emulator

   Start the Pixel_6_API_35 emulator

   Or create one first if you don’t have any:

   Create an Android 35 emulator called TestDevice and start it

4. Install the APK

   Install the HelloWorld debug APK on the emulator

5. Launch the app

   Launch com.example.helloworld

6. Take a screenshot

   Take a screenshot of the device

   Verify your app is running correctly.

Tip

You don’t need to remember exact commands or paths. Just describe what you want in natural language and the AI editor will figure out which tools to use.
