Default Report: My first "hello world" using Android Studio freeware on Windows worked just fine (in about an hour)

This post is for Bill


So you responded to me specifically (and snipped a considerable
amount of my post, clearly showing your ignorance concerning the
machine Bill already told you he had as well as HAXM, etc. [g])
for what reason, then?

Here's what you snipped for reasons not known to me...:

Did you miss this part?


Message-ID:

But, it took me a whole afternoon on a i5-2520M laptop with
8GB of ram, and during that time everything else on the machine
became almost totally unresponsive. The processor appears to support
HAXM, but I missed the place to check to install this.

Do you see the i5? That's an Intel designation. He has (wait for it)
an Intel based system.

One could say you practically edited my post prior to responding to
it, intending the reply to be for another person? You know what that
smells like, right, Arlen?

, where it is apparently considered normal
for it to take a long time for Android Studio to initially set
itself up for you.


It depends on several variables, as I already wrote above...

Now, for the purposes of downloading, just to show you how wrong and
off base you actually are...

The main .zip file, downloaded from the 3rd url you provided (on
linux of course) was 1004 or so megabytes in size. Average dl speed
was just under 23megabytes (yea, megabytes) a second.

The oracle SDK linuxx64 bit rpm package was 168megs and took roughly
35 seconds or so to leech. The megabytes bounced from just below 12
to averaging out at around 4.5 for the remainder.

grabbed the largest sdk from your older versions url. 248megs, got in
less than 25 seconds. rofl.

The remainder of the 20 minutes, give or take a few; I was doing
several things at once at the time on various machines here was spent
doing the actual 'installation' phases. So yea, within 20 minutes or
so, I was up and running, IDE open on the primary desktop screen,
ready for use. That's a properly cooled and configured, I7-8700K for
you.

Installation times (not dl times) would vary if I were to install it
on various other machines here, due to hardware specification
differences and only that. Bandwidth isn't the issue. [g]

To.html
Notice that site agrees with you, Bill, in that:
"The installation and many operations take a LONG time to
complete." "It takes time - from 30 minutes to n hours to
forever."


The site doesn't disagree with me, either, Arlen. The entire time
table is an estimate. It depends on several variables which most
likely, would exceed your level of expertise to delve into. Suffice
to say,

While the Android Studio IDE takes care of everything, here are
the parts: 1. Java JDK (includes JRE)
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/j...wnloads/jdk8-d
ownloads-2133151.html (The Android Studio IDE will download &
unpack the JDK for you.)
2. Android SDK
https://developer.android.com/sdk/older_releases
(The Android Studio IDE will download & unpack the SDK for
you.)
3. Android Studio IDE
https://developer.android.com/studio/install
(This is all you need since it will set up the SDK & JDK for
you.)


Yep. It doesn't take very long for me to download or install it on
the machine I provided some specs on previously, Arlen. What you
wrote below is entirely, false. Further, you yourself provided time
table estimates which DIRECTLY CONTRADICT what you wrote and yet,
support what I told you, the first time. What you specifically
attacked me for in this snippit of one of your posts, below:

MID:

In reality, I agree with you that it takes longer, so double that,
or triple that or something, but Diesel's assessment of '20 minutes'
is just dead wrong, and unachievable, I would think. (Diesel is
always trying to prove how smart he is so take anything he says with
a grain of salt.)

** end snippit

You have an older machine which has an older cpu that you prior to a
few days ago, knew next to nothing about. You didn't even know that
it couldn't possibly support HAXM regardless of your desire to
enable/disable it.

MID:

I have no desire to prove I'm smart, so I have no problems admitting
when I screw up, or when I'm wrong, or when I'm ignorant of
something, so you can trust me more than you can trust most people
who can't admit when they're stupid.

*** end snippit

When do you plan to admit you were wrong and screwed up quite badly
here? You went out of your way to attack me in a reply supposedly
written for Bill. Are you going to own up to your mistake, Arlen?

As i've suggested before, You should watch whom you refer to as
stupid in the future. As, sadly, you've actually demonstrated you
suffer from it on multiple levels, yourself.
