If you plan on following along with the tutorial there are a few things must be done first.

1.) Set up the Android SDK
2.) Set up a TestDevice (Virtual Android Device)

In order to complete step number one please follow the instruction on this site:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

You can ommit the Eclipse related stuff if you're only installing it to Reverse Engineer some code ;)

Also as far as packages goes, the only one you NEED is the Android 2.1 Platform (API Level 7) all other things are optional





After you have the SDK set up, and have Android 2.1 Platform installed. You need to create an android virtual device

1.) Run the SDK Setup.exe file again
2.) Select Virtual Devices, and click New... on right hand side
3.) Give AVD a name (ie TestDevice)
4.) Select Target (Android 2.1 -API Level 7)
5.) set SD Card size to 10 MB
6.) Click Create AVD

Once it's in the list select it and click Start...



If you are only interested in viewing the tutorial, you do NOT need to do any of the above
