title: Building MobileFirst Android app without ADT (using Android Studio instead)
body: <p>As specified <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_6.3.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/devenv/t_installing_tools_for_android.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, I should not need to install ADT if I have Android Studio and SDK installed. </p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to test this in response to a customer's question on whether or not you can use Android Studio instead of ADT. Because ADT is no longer supported as stated <a href="https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/migrate.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my steps:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>install eclipse.</li>
  <li>Install MobileFirst Studio v6.3 from eclipse marketplace.</li>
  <li>Install Android Studio (which also installed Android SDK), able to launch Android Studio and run an empty app.</li>
  <li>Specify the location of Android Studio in Window > Preferences > MobileFirst. </li>
  <li>Create MFP project, add Android environment.</li>
  <li>From menus select Run As > Build All Environments.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>At this point the build failed. Do I still have to install ADT in order to be able to build? </p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Error Log</p>
