Developing native applications in Android Studio
To create an IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation Android app add the necessary SDK files to your Android Studio project and register your app.
To develop a native application, add the MobileFirst SDK files to your Android Studio project. Then register your app using IBM MobileFirst Platform Operations Console or the MobileFirst Platform CLI. Develop and compile your app.
You can set up your Android Studio to include the MobileFirst by using Gradle or by using a manual or remote method of retrieving the files. For more information, see Methods of setting up your environment.
Once you have the IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation SDK files set up in your Xcode project, you can register your app on the server. For details, see Registering Android applications to MobileFirst Server.
The following topics show you how to set up an initial project and start developing.
