FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before switching from Android Studio.

You need the Android SDK and JDK 17, but not Android Studio itself. X02's built-in Setup Wizard detects what's installed and offers to install missing components automatically — including SDK platforms, Build Tools, and Gradle. If you already have Android Studio, X02 can use its existing SDK path.

X02 targets API 34 (Android 14) by default with Build Tools 34.0.0 and Gradle 8.5. Any physical Android device running Android 5.0+ that supports USB debugging or wireless ADB is supported for deployment and device mirroring via scrcpy.

Yes — that's the whole point. X02 itself uses around ~100MB RAM, and device mirroring via scrcpy adds only ~15MB more. Even on a 4GB RAM laptop that struggles with Android Studio, X02 stays responsive. You'll need sufficient disk space for the SDK (~3GB) and your project files.

VS Code has no native ADB dashboard, no device mirroring, no AI crash analysis, no sketch-to-layout camera tool, and no IoT bridge for Arduino/ESP32. You'd need multiple extensions — each with separate configs. X02 ships all of this built-in, purpose-built for Android and embedded development together.

All core Android tools — building, deploying, ADB, device mirroring, Logcat — work fully offline. AI features (code generation, crash analysis, sketch-to-layout) require an active connection to your chosen AI provider (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, or a local Ollama model for fully offline AI).

X02 is free and open-source. There's no catch. It's a passion project — built as a hobby contribution to the developer community. You bring your own AI API keys (billed by the provider at their rates). No subscriptions, no paywalled features, no telemetry.
