Processing for android - installation

We will install processing for android. Since Processing uses Java, we first install the JDK.
Follow this link to download the JDK Standard Edition.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Install the JDK. Now, we need to add the path of JDK to our system path. Go to the bin folder of the Java installation. It will be located in the following folder.

Copy this path to clipboard. Right click on your computer and select properties.

Select Advanced System Properties.

Select Environment Variables.

Search for the System Variables called Path, select it and click Edit...

Paste the path copied into the clipboard in this location (add a semi colon before it) and click OK.

Now, the underlying system knows where JDK is. We proceed to install Processing.
Go to the following link:
https://www.processing.org/download/?processing

Download the version appropriate for your OS. The latest stable release at this time is 2.2.1 (released on 19 May 2014).
It downloads as a zipped package. Extract the package and copy that into any convenient location. I use my desktop to store the unzipped package.

Next, we need to install the android SDK. This installation has already been briefed in my previous post, except for one minor correction. We don't need to download the entire ADT with Eclipse. Since, we will be using the Processing IDE, we will download the android SDK for an existing IDE.

Use the android SDK manager to install the required API files and related google documentation for your devices's android version. Procedure for installing the API files are given in my blog post as below.
Link to my previous post on setting up ADT.

Now, we need to copy the Android mode template for Processing software. Click on the below link and save the zip package on your desktop.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5898761/AndroidMode.zip

Unzip the package to Documents/Processing/modes folder.

Next, open Processing software and click on the drop down menu that reads "Java" and select "Android".

Processing asks for the path where android SDK is installed. Select the path to your "android-sdk" folder in the android SDK installation path.


We have successfully installed Processing for android. Type the following snippet and run in emulator to check if the installation works correctly.
Warning: Emulator may take a lot of time to open depending on the configuration of your computer; people with less patience are requested to take a long walk after selecting this option.

Further information on how to run this snippet on a real device or a virtual device can be found on my post as below.
