Do I have to have an Android device?

What if I only have iPad and iPhone?

Does that mean I would not be efficient in learning how to make Android Apps cuz I dont have a right emulator?

Hi Edward,

You do not have to have an Android device to follow along in the course. Android Studio (the recommended IDE) provides a phone/tablet simulator that you can use to test and run your code. In fact, the simulation approach is much more efficient than constantly uploading your app to a physical phone during the debugging process.
