Arrive ready to build.

Complete these steps by Saturday evening so the live session can focus on the app.

  1. Check your laptop. Use Windows, macOS or Linux and check the current Android Studio system requirements. Keep your charger connected.
  2. Install Android Studio. Download it from the official Android site. Complete the setup wizard, including the Android SDK.
  3. Run a sample app. Create an Empty Activity project with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Run it on your Android phone or an emulator. Use a physical phone if your laptop cannot comfortably run an emulator.
  4. Open the starter project. The download link will be in your paid-registration email. Allow Gradle to finish syncing before the session.
  5. Test Zoom audio. Join a Zoom test meeting. Use headphones and a stable internet connection.
  6. Keep your confirmation email. It contains your private session link. Join at 10:50 AM IST.

What you need to know

No prior coding or Compose experience is needed. We use a prepared project and work through the app together.

AI access

Do not purchase an AI subscription. Workshop access and a fallback demonstration will be provided. Never paste private customer information into the demo.
