Where to find the Android SDK?

• Click "Download the SDK Now".
• Download the SDK for Windows.

How to install the Android SDK?

1. Decompress the downloaded file in a folder at the root of drive "C:" to avoid a Windows virtualization. For example: "C:\Android\".
2. Open the folder with the Windows explorer.
3. Run "SDK Manager.exe". This program is used to install the existing versions of the Android SDK as well as their updates.

• Display the properties of working computer.
• In the "Advanced" tab, click the "Environment variables" button.
• Select "PATH" in the system variables and click "Modify".
• Add the full path of "Tools" directory.

• Click "Settings" in the list on the left of window.
• Check "Force https://... source to be fetched using http://".
• Click "Save & Apply".

Version of Android SDK required for WINDEV Mobile

Versions 21 and later
Caution: If you do not use the automatic download of Android SDK, to generate the Android applications with WINDEV Mobile, you must:

• update Android SDK Tools.
• installer the two following add-ons: "Android Support Repository" and "Google Repository".

The following elements are required to generate applications with WINDEV Mobile:

	WINDEV Mobile 21 Update 3	WINDEV Mobile 22/23	WINDEV 23 Update 3
Module	Version	Version	Version
Android SDK Tools	24.4.1	25.2.3	25.2.3

Versions 23 and later
Notes:

• From August 2018, Google imposes a level of target API corresponding to 26 (Android 8) for deploying applications in Google Play Store from August 2018. This level of target API defines the features that can be included in the application and the security rules that must be applied to it. To comply with this constraint, all you have to do is recompile the Android application with WINDEV Mobile 23 Update 3 of WINDEV Mobile.
  Note: This change of version triggers evolutions and different operating modes for the Android applications. Via the Android Framework of WINDEV Mobile, these changes are automatically taken into account, as soon as they are documented or predictable.
• Change of behavior for the notifications: From Android 8, the notifications of Android applications must be added into a "channel". A "channel" corresponds to a group of notifications with its own setting: importance, vibration, sound, ... The user can enable or disable all channel notifications and modify these different parameters.
  From WINDEV Mobile 23 Update 3, the notifications displayed by an Android application generated by WINDEV Mobile are automatically added into a channel corresponding to the priority of notification. The notification parameters (vibration, sound and LED display) can be modified according to the priority of notification and modifications performed by the end user on these parameters.
