== Using the Android SDK ==

NixOS uses the androidenv package for building android SDKs and manually creating emulators without the use of Android Studio. Example android sdk is <code>androidenv.~~androidPkgs_9_0~~.androidsdk</code>. They also include all of the SDK tools such as sdkmanager and avdmanager needed to create emulators.

{{Note|<code>androidenv.androidPkgs_9_0</code> has been replaced with <code>androidenv.androidPkgs</code> in nixos 24.11, see [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2411.section.md#backward-incompatibilities-sec-release-2411-incompatibilities backward-incompatibilities-sec-release-2411-incompatibilities], so all the <code>~~androidPkgs_9_0~~</code> references below ~~need~~ be ~~changed after~~ 24.~~11 gets released~~.}}
