以下就是使用Android SDK开发Android应用程序对于系统和软件的要求.

操作系统

Windows XP (32位), Vista (32或64位), or Windows 7 (32或64位)

Mac OS X 10.5.8 或以上 (仅限x86)

Linux (测试于Ubuntu Linux, Lucid Lynx)

GNU C Library (glibc) 2.7 或以上。

Ubuntu Linux,  8.04版本或以上 。

64-bit distributions must be capable of running 32-bit applications. For information about how to add support for 32-bit applications, see the Ubuntu Linux installation notes.

Supported Development Environments

Eclipse IDE

Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) or greater

Eclipse JDT plugin (included in most Eclipse IDE packages)

If you need to install or update Eclipse, you can download it from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.

Several types of Eclipse packages are available for each platform. For developing Android applications, we recommend that you install one of these packages:

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers

Eclipse Classic (versions 3.5.1 and higher)

Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers

JDK 5 or JDK 6 (JRE alone is not sufficient)

Not compatible with Gnu Compiler for Java (gcj)

Other development environments or IDEs

JDK 5 or JDK 6 (JRE alone is not sufficient)

Apache Ant 1.8 or later

Not compatible with Gnu Compiler for Java (gcj)

Note: If JDK is already installed on your development computer, please take a moment to make sure that it meets the version requirements listed above. In particular, note that some Linux distributions may include JDK 1.4 or Gnu Compiler for Java, both of which are not supported for Android development.

Hardware requirements

The Android SDK requires disk storage for all of the components that you choose to install. The table below provides a rough idea of the disk-space requirements to expect, based on the components that you plan to use.
