Http://www.bananawolf.com/html/2011/06/628.html

Recently, Android is not very popular. Our company also has related businesses. The boss told me to study it too! Of course, I am happy to learn such a hot topic. I went to the bookstore to buy an example book for Android SDK development, even if I started learning.

In this book, the installation of the development environment is not very detailed, and only the environment configuration method on windows is not available. Now let's take a look at how to install the eclipse + Android Development Environment on Ubuntu.

1. Install JDK 6

First confirm that the software source has been added, in system-system management-software source-other software, make sure that the http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner is selected.

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Set system environment variables

Export java_home =/usr/lib/JVM/Java-6-Sun (based on the specific installation path) Export android_java_home = $ java_home

2. Install eclipse

Find and install in application-Ubuntu Software Center

3. Install the android SDK

Download android-sdk_r11-linux_x86.tgz from http://developer.android.com/sdk.
Decompress the package to/OPT.

Sudo tar xzvf android-sdk_r11-linux_x86.tgz-C/OPT # modify directory permissions, sudo chown-r root: Root/opt/android-sdk-linux_x86 root for your current user or sudo chmod 777/opt/android-sdk-linux_x86

Add path

sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

Enter at the end of the file

# android sdkexport PATH=${PATH}：/opt/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools

4. Install the ADT plug-in
Open the eclipse-help-install new software installed above

Update Android SDK tools,
In eclipse-window-android SDK and AVD Manager-installed packages, select Android SDK tools, and click Update all in revision 11.
