Android Studio makes it easy to create Android apps for several form factors, such as phone, +tablet, TV, Wear, and Google Glass. The New Project wizard lets you choose the form factors +for your app and populates the project structure with everything you need to get started.
+ +Follow the steps in this section to create a project in Android Studio.
+ +If you didn't have a project opened, Android Studio shows the Welcome screen. +To create a new project, click New Project.
+ +If you had a project opened, Android Studio shows the development environment. +To create a new project, click File > New Project.
+ +The next window lets you configure the name of your app, the package name, and the location +of your project.
