Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Started with Huawei HarmonyOS 2.0 Development
This tutorial walks readers through the entire process of setting up the HarmonyOS 2.0 development environment, downloading the IDE and SDK, creating various types of projects, configuring the emulator, and finally running a simple "Hello World" application on a Huawei device.
Huawei HarmonyOS 2.0 has been open‑sourced, and this article provides a complete, step‑by‑step tutorial for developers familiar with Android to start building HarmonyOS applications.
Prerequisites : Visit the official HarmonyOS website (https://www.harmonyos.com) and download the IDE from https://device.harmonyos.com/cn/ide. The development studio can also be obtained at https://developer.harmonyos.com/cn/develop/deveco-studio#download.
Source code : The open‑source code repository is https://openharmony.gitee.com.
Project creation : After installing the IDE, three project templates are available – TV device apps, Wearable apps, and Lite Wearable apps. The tutorial demonstrates creating a TV Java project using a list template.
SDK configuration : During installation the SDK download prompt can be cancelled; manually select the SDK path and enable all required components for automatic download.
Emulator setup : Download the HarmonyOS emulator (gradle‑5.4.1‑all.zip) and follow the on‑screen prompts. If the download fails, click “download again” to retry.
Account login and authorization : Use a Huawei account (prefer the Windows built‑in browser over Chrome) to log in, complete real‑name verification, and grant the necessary permissions.
Running the app : After the emulator starts, run the generated "Hello World" project; the application should launch successfully on the virtual device.
