Creating the Project

You will start by creating a new Android Studio project:

1. Open Android Studio and, from the menu, select File > New > New Project.... Select a Empty Views Activity template type and click Next.

2. Enter VonageVideoTutorialApp as project name.

3. Select Java as the language.

4. Choose a folder to save the project to.

5. Select Groovy DSL for the build configuration language, and press Finish button.

6. You now have a brand new Android Studio project.

Installing the SDK

Now that the Android Studio project is created you can install the Vonage Video SDK. We will be doing this using Maven:

1. Update the dependencies in the app level build.gradle file to include the Vonage Video SDK:
   widgets.copy

   implementation "com.opentok.android:opentok-android-sdk:2.29.0"
   

2. Sync your Gradle project and Android Studio will now download the SDK.
