Installing Android Studio itself is a breeze and not different to any other install on the Mac. However, after you install the Studio, you still have to install the SDK to work with the Android. Please refer to the PDF that comes along the download of the app from buzztouch.com. Ideally, you should have only those SDK parts that are mentiond in that PDF. BT needs Android 14 to work with and you will not be given the chance to download it unless you click on the Obsolete button in SDK Manager. Only then will you be shown the older versions of the SDKs, and 14 is what you need. NOTE: You will see the Obsolete button only if you run the Standalone Android SDK Manager. There is also a danger of downloading too many SDKs, which currently have numbers 23 up to 25. You may end up with hundreds of errors (says it needs an attribs file or something). Google that around and either delete the offending files in the SDK Manager or add the missing files into your project, under /res/values folder. Once you have sorted it out, open the file build.gradle (Module: app) and enter this: apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 14 buildToolsVersion "22.0.1" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.xxxxxxxx" minSdkVersion 14 targetSdkVersion 14 } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt' } } lintOptions { abortOnError false } } dependencies { compile files('libs/gcm.jar') compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:7.3.0' } Instead of xxxxxxx put the core project name you have in your BT control panel for the app. The version number for Google Play Services will change in time. Instead of 7.3.0 it may be something else in the future and is sure to change. Version 7.3.0 is what works now. That would be the gist of it, and should serve you well as a starting point of working with Android Studio and Buzztouch.

Dusko, I have Java 1.6 on my Mac, it is needed for Eclipse. For Android Studio is Java 1.7 or higher needed. May I have both version on same mac, and switch between them to use Eclipse or AS?

I use Java 1.7 on my mac... Eclipse still runs just fine. So does Android Studio. Cheers! -- Smug

Of course you can still run Eclipse instead of Android Studio, however, the sooner you make the switch, the better.
