How To Setup Netbeans For Developing Google Android Apps ( Optional )


Netbeans is deemed more desirable for building web applications. To begin building a web application in Netbeans, it requires one step. This step involves downloading the Netbeans IDE 7.2 application. Its competitor’s process involves 6 steps in comparison.

Netbeans contains a JSP debugger and remote debugger, a Java Enterprise Edition verifier, a choice of JSP, JSF or Struts frameworks, a deployment description editor, a HTTP monitor, multiple database connections, XML editor and validation, debug and monitor SQL commands, and no manual creation or modification of deployment descriptors required.

To develop Google Android Applications for Netbeans, the user must implement the following steps.

1) Install the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Download the application from the website and install it.

2) Install the Android plug in for Netbeans. The plug in is named nbandroid.

Within the Netbeans Update Center, the user will find the Netbeans plug in.
First go to the Menu bar, find the Tools menu. Within the tools menu, the user will find a list of Netbeans plug ins. Select the Netbeans plug in the user desires. In this particular case, select the Android Plug in. Within the Settings options, select Add. When prompted, enter this URL: http://kenai.com/downloads/nbandroid/updates.xml
The user can begin the installation process, when this step is completed. Once the Android plug is installed, then the user should add the Android Platform to Netbeans.
Within the Menu option, select the Tools option. Once this is completed, enter Java Platforms. Then select the Add Platform button. The Google Android Platform should be in this selection. The next window will prompt the user to enter a new platform name. Enter the user name. Follow the instructions until the process is complete.
