Today we will try to go through "Install Android SDK on Ubuntu 7.10" quest. Hope this will be helpful to some of you. let's get started.
- Go to http://code.google.com/android/download.html and download the linux version of the SDK.
- Unzip the file to your home folder. It will create a new folder named android_sdk_linux_m3-rc22a ( can be different version number at a later date)
- in terminal run:
gedit ~/.bashrc
This will open an editor, please add to the end of the file:
# set PATH so it includes Android tools path
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="$HOME/android_sdk_linux_m3-rc22a"
if [ -d $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools ] ; then
PATH="${PATH}":"$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/"
fi
Don't forget to save changes :-)
- open terminal and run:
sudo apt-get install eclipse
This will install Eclipse. - Follow instruction from here to install Eclips Plugin.
- Install Java, in terminal run:
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk - Update your setup to use Sun Java as default, in terminal run:
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun - Remove all the gcj packages running in terminal:
sudo apt-get remove java-gcj-*
Now you can start Eclipse and start coding your first project or look at one of the samples supplied with the SDK.
