TRANSCRIPT:

In this video, I’m going to show you how to install the MindMeld Android SDK. To begin, click on the documentation page. Scroll down to the Android SDK section and click on Getting Started. The first step is to download the SDK. Once it’s done, you can just unzip the file. You’ll notice that there are two main folders in the file. The first one contains the source code for the Android SDK and the second one contains sample code for applications that you can play with that actually use our SDK.

Step number two is to add our SDK to your workspace. You do that in Eclipse by going to File - Import - Android - Existing Android Code Into Workspace. And then you navigate to the place where you downloaded your SDK. Select the SDK and then click Finish. Now you have imported the MindMeld SDK into your workspace.

The third step is to add the SDK library to your project. In Eclipse, go to Project - Properties - Android, then click Add to select the MindMeld Android SDK library. At this point, you can import the packages that are inside the SDK. Once you have imported the packages, don’t forget to add the Internet permissions to your project, otherwise you cannot connect to the Internet. Once you have added the permissions, you can just start using the SDK. For example, you can create an instance of a MindMeld application with your own app ID. And there you go, that’s how you can install the MindMeld Android SDK.
