Tips for getting Android Studio going
- first, build an Empty Activity, Kotlin project, make sure it works in the
simulator
- you may need to give AS time to start, it takes a while even
on fast machines (it is still starting even after the interface is
running)
- when opening an unzipped project, make sure you open the top level
directory, not any otherwise empty containing directory
- make sure to tell it to use local JDK settings before you do anything
- if you don't, you'll probably need to start with a fresh copy
- You may need to put the folder in a new location, there seems to be some
caching based on the path
