Android Studio
In Android Studio, we have your Project File tree on the left, and your code workspace on the right. At the top, we have a toolbar, and highlighted in the screenshot below are the ones we'll be interacting with the most.
- The green play button is used to run whatever task you have specified in the dropdown menu to the left of it.
- By default, the dropdown menu is set to the application you're building now.
- To the right of the play button, we have a green bug that is used to debug and step through your code.
Run Your App
- Click the green arrow in your toolbar.
- Select the virtual device you created earlier.
- If an pop up shows up asking about an Instant Run, you can just Proceed without Instant Run.
- Your emulator should start up and show your app running.
Note: if you are using your own device, you may need to enable USB debugging in your Developer Tools.
Your app should look like this:
