Configuration of the Android development environment in the Ubuntu Linux environment

The tools you need to use for Android low-level development are: JDK6 or above; Eclipse3.4 or above; ADT; CDT; Android Sdk;android NDK, cross-compilation environment, Linux kernel source code, Android source code, serial tool for debugging Development Board: minicom.

Here are the steps to build an Android development environment:

1. Install JDK: After downloading the JDK's compressed package, unzip it and then open the profile file to set the PATH environment variable by entering the following command on the Linux terminal.
