Setting up for Android devices

To develop VR apps that will run on Google Daydream, Cardboard, GearVR, Oculus GO, or other Android devices, we will need to set up a development machine for Android development.

This section will help you set up your Windows PC or Mac. The requirements are not specific to virtual reality; these are the same steps required by anyone building any Android app from Unity. The process is also well documented elsewhere, including the Unity documentation at https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-sdksetup.html.

The steps include:

• Install Java Development Kit
• Install Android SDK
• Install USB device drivers and debugging
• Configure the Unity External Tools
• Configure the Unity Player Settings for Android

OK, let's get going.
