Running an APK within Android Studio - General Questions and Answers

I've installed the latest version of Android Studio and launched a Pixel 4A emulator.
I want to install Matterport Capture from technifiser.
However, this app doesn't show up during searches for some reason. The emulator meets the basic requirements but still does not work.

Is possible to install linux on Live View mn800 Sony Ericsson?

I need a small device with linux. is possible to install on LiveView mn800 normal linux script? is possible to use keys and write a small program in script lang. Ruby, perl, lua etc.
As the LiveView runs Android (which is Linux-based) then Yes - it is possible.
It's just extremely unlikely that you will be able to install pure Linux unless you are an extremely accomplished coder / developer.

An extremely accomplished coder / developer wrote this HOWTO about installing GNU/Linux on any unlocked Android device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780378
Still, if running GNU/Linux is the primary purpose, don't get an Android device, get a x86 laptop.

Wait a minute now. Isn't this that watch-thingy?
No, it does not run Android, and I can't believe Linux neither. It's just a dumb remote control talking bluetooth to an Android device. Probably using some very limited micro controller not capably of much anything at all. Sorry.

From Wikipedia:
It was discovered by an owner named "CMW" (aka. CMWDOTME on Twitter) that by patching the boot kernel and rooting the device, simply replacing the main "launcher" app on the MOTOACTV with almost any Android launcher app from the Market, the MOTOACTV becomes a rather capable watch-sized Android tablet, matching most of the specs of many Android-based phones except for a much reduced size.
The device reports that it is running Android 2.3.4 which according to Google is the same API as Android 2.3 with some minor patches and bug fixes.

[Q] Help please with Android SDK Manager

Hi All!
Well I am starting to get into app development for Android as well as other things as I progress through school. I downloaded and extracted the adt bundle from developer.android.com and am very confused. I know that every android device out there is not ready or capable to be running Android 4.2.2 as case in point my Galaxy Note 2 running 4.1.1. How do I download and access those other versions of the Android SDK then because I want my apps to be able to be ran on multiple devices. Please if you can offer me some assistance I would gladly appreciate it.
Gunner out!

correct me if im wrong, but when you are choosing details about the application you can set the minimum software which is compatible and the highest? So set 2.2 and 4.2? then it covers all versions.. unless I've misunderstood your question
you can open android sdk manager. and you select all version sdk and download the sdk and install it.

[Q] What SDK should I get?

I saw a You Tube vid by AdamOutler and he said to get Eclipse classic or something. But when I go to Google Developers they give me the latest version of Eclipse do I use classic or the one provided by Google?

You can use anything.
The one which is provided by Google is a complete package, where you don't have to setup the build environment like setting up ADT plugin etc. The IDE would be ready for application development I guess.
When you download Eclipse Classic (Latest version is 4.2.2 I guess) from their website (eclipse.org), you need to download the ADT plugin additionally within the IDE and download the developer tools and then have to connect it with Android SDK. The complete steps to install are there in the developer website, so its pretty much easy the either way.

I don't really understand the vocabulary you used. (Sorry, I'm new to Android development) Is there a place where I can learn all these terms and what they do? I understand SDK though.

You just start by reading from here, and you are good to go:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
If you already have downloaded SDK, go to this website and download the Eclipse 4.2.2 Classic IDE. And go to Youtube and search videos for "How to connect eclipse with android sdk". There should be a couple.
If you don't have anything, download the SDK+ADT Bundle for Windows displayed in Android developer website (The link which I gave you first) and read the instructions and you'll be good.
It's really not matter. I think the only different is the latest version in Google Dev that you can find is well packaged and you don't need to set up most of the environment stuff.

Yes, that's right.
It comes with Eclipse + Android SDK + ADT Plugin (Developer Tools) + Latest Android Platform (4.2.2 maybe) + System Image for Emulator
So you don't have to download the Android Platform and build tools additionally after getting the SDK, as everything would come in a single package.

Installing new apps on android 10

Hi,
Can I install an apk that the dev said it's for android 11+? I asked him why doesn't it install on 10 he said because of size.
If it's possible please explain how.
The dev must be an idiot: Whether an app only works on Android 11+ or not only depends on the APIs used.

The Amazon Appstore doesn't include everything, but it's probably got what you need.

In general, a dev will declare a minSdkVersion in the build.gradle of his/her app.
If the minSdkVersion is 30( API Level 30 = Android 11 ), you will failed to install the app on an Android 10 device.

Can I mod, repack it ( don't know the correct term )
if the app is open source, you may be able to fork it, and try to modify parts of it to make it work on android 10. Usually devs don’t make it incompatible with a android version for no reason, so changing the requirement may break some/many/all features of the app.
It's a requirement of google play store that the minimum API level will be 31 so i don't get it why the app is created for a smaller API level.

To make it possible for older devices plus it's not in the Google play
So, I guess I can't fork or edit the apk on my device ( I need the SDK kit )

How do to install Regular Google on Android Go

So for some reason Google wont install on my Xiaomi Redmi A1 because of Google Go i think? Thing is Google Go is good but the Assistant Go app doesn't really have that much customization. I have the non-go version of assistant installed and i want to use it but it requires the regular version of google to work.
Anybody know a workaround that doesn't require root or such?
Device Info:
Xiaomi Redmi A1 (220733SG)
Android 12 Go Edition
Sorry if my english is bad and this is a noob question
Indeed, you can install the “full version" of most of Google's proprietary apps on a device running an Android Go Edition build. But, as you've probably found out yourself, you won't be able to download these apps from Google Play. You'll need to download the apps app package (APK) from a trusted Android app repo. Be sure to download the correct architecture (ARM, ARM64, etc.) as well as the correct DPI matrix.(apps listed as nodpi are universal and will work on any DPI config). Once downloaded you should be able to install the APK and run the standard build of Google app on your Go Edition device. You will have both the standard app and the Go Edition version of app installed, and you can choose to use either one. APK Mirror is a trustworthy repo for Google's proprietary app packagers.
Thanks for your answer! I'll try to find an APK of google that supports my device. I appreciate your help.
