1. Before you begin
Install Android Studio on your computer if you haven't done so already. Check that your computer meets the system requirements required for running Android Studio (located at the bottom of the download page). If you need more detailed instructions on the setup process, refer to the Download and install Android Studio codelab.

In this codelab, you create your first Android app with a project template provided by Android Studio. You use Kotlin and Jetpack Compose to customize your app. Note that Android Studio gets updated and sometimes the UI changes so it is okay if your Android Studio looks a little different than the screenshots in this codelab.
