To select Intel® C++ Compiler instead of other compilers in Visual Studio, follow these steps:
Create a Visual C++* project, or open an existing project.
In Solution Explorer, select the project(s) to build with Intel® C++ Compiler.
Go to Project > Properties. The Property Pages dialog opens.

Under Project Defaults property list, change Target Architecture to x86 Architecture (x86).
- Click OK to save and close the Property Pages dialog.
Selecting this toolset ensures that Intel® C++ Compiler is used for building your projects. Check the display of Intel-specific property pages and properties.
You can now proceed to use the Intel® Compiler to build Android* applications via Microsoft Visual Studio*. For details on how to use Visual Studio*, check Visual Studio* documentation on www.microsoft.com.
