Android SDK Installation Guides

[Andor]

If you're looking to get your feet wet with developing applications for Android you'll first need to install the SDK on your system.

Here's a compilation of tutorials detailing how to do that on specific operating systems.

How-To Install The Android SDK 1.0 On Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop

This guide explains how you can install the Google Android SDK 1.0 on an Ubuntu 8.04 desktop. With this stable release of the Android SDK, you can now develop applications for Android smartphones (like T-Mobile's G1) and offer them on the Android Market.

I just followed the excellent tutorial for Android SDK on Ubuntu on my Debian testing/lenny distribution. Worked flawlessly without any changes.

After the last step, Eclipse complained that it couldn't find the keytool and that I should set the JAVA_HOME variable. I did

autarkis@padawan:~$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.07/bin/

(since I'm using Sun's Java 6) and now everything works.

Where can I get the source code for the SDK? Does anyone know?
I would prefer to keep my box 32bit free...

I tried to installed on OSx but as a Apple user we loose contact with the terminal and prompt line. Android is forcing me back to it:

On a Mac the following instruction is there:

On a Mac, look in your home directory for .bash_profile and proceed as for Linux. You can create the .bash_profile, if you haven't already set one up on your machine.

can someone guide me to edit the file.

I too am looking for a .bash_profile for OSX. I got it installed on winXP but cant seem to get it to work on OSX.

Sorry if this comes out as a dumb question, as I'm a newbie with all these android stuff but....can we install and run the Android SDK without downloading and building the android platform (as instructed here: http://source.android.com/download)? I guess what I'm trying to get at is whether or not these two different installation guides (downloading/installing the android open source and downloading/installing the Android SDK) are two separate, independent things or they're dependent to each other, before I start writing my android applications....
