Welcome to the second part of today's class.
Hopefully you have your IDE set for running you first app.

We will look at this simple steps to creating your first app.

1.After installation of the Android studio you can click on create a new project if you don't have the project already opened.
2. Fill out the fields about your new project which include,
a. App name. This is what the users see.
b. The company domain name is used to uniquely identify your app. Thus, even if two different companies create Android
apps with the same name, you can still see which is which
because their company domain names will be different. If
you have a company, type in the company's domain name
in reverse (e.g. com.jenkov). If you have no company, you
can just choose a fictive company domain name. To make
this first app it doesn't matter so much. Only if you plan to
release it to Google Play, then the company domain name
matters.
c. Package name is set by the studio itself using your company domain and the app name.

3 Select a location on your system where you want your project files to be. For instance the project location your first
project could be: D:\data\projects\android-studio-projects
\MyFirstApplication

4. Under Select the form factors your app will run on, check the box for Phone and Tablet.For Minimum SDK, select API 8: Android 2.2 (Froyo)

5. Leave all of the other options (TV, Wear, and Glass) unchecked and click Next.

6.The third screen in the "New Project" dialog asks you to add
an activity to your Android app. I recommend you add the empty activity.
7. The fourth screen in the "New Project" dialog asks you to
choose option for your new file (activity). You have to
choose an activity name, layout name and a title. The dialog
has already suggested some names. Just leave these
suggestions in the input fields and click the "Finish" button.

If you run the application , the simple hello word application is built.
I will talk more on this.
