1. Introduction
The Android Development Kit (ADK) commonly refers to the software suite used for developing Android applications. The core component is Android Studio, which bundles the SDK (Software Development Kit), NDK (Native Development Kit), build tools, and emulators. For Windows users on x86 (32-bit) or x86_64 (64-bit) systems, the preferred installer format is MSI (Microsoft Installer) for enterprise deployment or silent installation.
Note: Google no longer provides a standalone SDK installer without Android Studio. The MSI option is available for Android Studio.
