This overview focuses on how to use Android Studio to build and run your app for testing and debugging. For information on how to use Android Studio to build your app so that it can be released to users, see Build your app for release to users.
Android Studio doesn't do anything unique to build your application; it calls Gradle to perform the build the same way you'd call it from the command line. However, Studio runs a synchronization process when you open your project (or explicitly ask to synchronize).
The emulator comes with Android Studio, so you don't need to install it separately. To use the emulator, follow these basic steps, which are described in more detail in the sections that follow:
When you first create a project, Android Studio creates a run/debug configuration for the main activity based on the Android App template. To run or debug your project, you must always have at least one run/debug configuration defined.
By default, your tests run using Android Studio’s default run configuration. If you need to change some run settings such as the instrumentation runner and deployment options, you can edit the run configuration in the Run/Debug Configurations dialog (click Run > Edit Configurations).
Optimize your build configuration by taking a few steps that immediately benefit most Android Studio projects. Profile your build to identify and diagnose some of the trickier bottlenecks that may be specific to your project or workstation.
