Android Application Development Standards
Android SDK Place your Android SDK somewhere in your home directory or some other application-independent location. Some distributions of IDEs include the SDK when installed, and may place it under the same directory as the IDE. This can be bad when you need to upgrade (or reinstall) the IDE, as you may lose your SDK installation, forcing a long and tedious redownload. Also avoid putting the SDK in a system-level directory that might need root permissions, to avoid permissions issues. Preferred location for a Mac is: /Library/Android/sdk Build system Your default option should be Gradle using the Android Gradle plugin. It is important that your application's build process is defined by your Gradle files, rather than being reliant on IDE specific configurations. This allows for consistent builds between tools and better support for continuous integration systems.
