README.md

Setup Android cmd-tools for Ubuntu

Install java

sudo apt install -y openjdk-8-jdk

You can switch between java version with sudo update-alternatives --config java

check with: java --version; javac --version

Download commandlinetools-linux

From here https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#command-tools

I'm gonna use $HOME/dev/Android. Make an empty dir inside Android called cmdline-tools, unzip and rename the extracted cmdline-tools to tools and move it inside cmdline-tools.

  $HOME/dev/Android:
    - cmdline-tools:
      - tools (downloaded and renamed)

Edit .bashrc:

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/dev/Android
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/dev/Android # support some legacy tools
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/tools/bin
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/latest/bin
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools

Install the SDK

sdkmanager 'platform-tools' 'platforms;android-30'

sudo apt install -y openjdk-17-jdk
