Android Development Environment Linux

Question

I wanna setup Android Development Environment in Linux. I have done it in Windows before but wanna set it up in Linux. Is there any guide on how i can do it ?

Downloaded Eclipse, Java JDK, ADT, SDK for linux

the SDK is around 25mb only. Looks like it doesnt have the platform files. From where can i download the platform files for 2.2 and 2.3.

I dont have internet on the linux machine.

Answer 1

1. download and install the JDK
2. download and unzip the android SDK (from developer.andriod.com)

3. export the path to the android sdk (in ~/bash.rc append the line)

   export PATH=${PATH}:/path/to/the/sdk/tools/folder

4. Download and install eclipse
