Ask HN: Where can I get a old Android studio?

2 pointsjonatron5 comments

The oldest one on https://developer.android.com/studio/archive is Android Studio 2.3.2, which isn't old enough. I have an android 2.1 device that I want to make an app for.

Update: using the ADT bundle of eclipse+SDK. https://stackoverflow.com/a/27682695

Using with sdkman, 8.0.302-open, because openjdk 11 is too new.

Mirroring the stackoverflow comment:

For historic reasons, I leave you the links to the last versions of ADT:

    linux 64 bit: http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702.zip
    linux 32 bit: http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20140702.zip

After that, you can update ADT plugin after 20140702 version. This answer was intended for the ones starting from zero.

Android Studio didn’t exist back then. Look for “Android Developement Tools”, IIRC they were an Eclipse Plugin back in the day.

You shouldn't need an older version of Android Studio, just set minSdkVersion appropriately in the manifest. Are you having specific problems?

I still have it on my 2005 laptop if you want it. It’s an Android Platform Tools for Eclipse IDE. Not sure if I can make it run for you though.

you need eclipse. Even the earliest version of android studio only supported higher versions. And you need the sdks, java and maybe an old adb version.
