  • Android SDK Platform 28 (Android 9.0 Pie)
  • Android SDK Build-Tools 28.0.0 or later
  • Android SDK Platform-Tools
  • Android Emulator (for testing)

​
SDK Requirements

MorseIt has specific SDK version requirements defined in app/build.gradle:
  • Compile SDK Version: 28 (Android 9.0 Pie)
  • Minimum SDK Version: 23 (Android 6.0 Marshmallow)
  • Target SDK Version: 28 (Android 9.0 Pie)
The minimum SDK version is 23, which means MorseIt supports devices running Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and above.

​
Project Dependencies

MorseIt uses the following key dependencies (from app/build.gradle):
app/build.gradle
dependencies {
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}

​
Build Tools

The project uses Gradle 3.2.1 for building:
build.gradle
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'

​
Clone the Repository

Clone the MorseIt repository to your local machine: 
git clone https://github.com/subin23k/MorseIt.git
cd MorseIt

​
Import Project

1

Open Android Studio

Launch Android Studio on your system.
2

Import the Project

Click File > Open and navigate to the cloned MorseIt directory. Select the root folder and click OK.
3

Gradle Sync

Android Studio will automatically detect the Gradle build files and begin syncing. Wait for the sync to complete.
4

Verify Setup

Once Gradle sync is complete, verify that there are no errors in the Build output window.
If you encounter issues with Gradle sync, ensure that your Android SDK is properly configured in File > Project Structure > SDK Location.

​
Next Steps

Once your environment is set up, proceed to Build and Run to learn how to compile and run the application.
