android sdk and ubuntu - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I have a question. I want to look at my apps on ubuntu and have installed the android sdk and can get it to boot. However, i cannot install any applications on it. I downloaded a system.img which I think I need to move to the .android folder and specifically into that avd folder.
However, where do I find this folder in ubuntu? I know where it is put for windows and can do it on a windows operating machine.
Thanks for the help

In nautilus (the file manager) click on view > show hidden files. This will allow you to see all the hidden directories. In linux, directories that being with a "." are hidden.

Problems with root directory when installing ADT plugin in eclipse.

I'm not sure i have the right directory and i'm a newbie. sry.
But ive gotten to eclipse and preferences then android, but when i browse i dont know where my root directory is..
Once i thought i had it once but i was told that i was missing certain files..
I'd really like some help..
EDIT program Files\Sun\JavaDB\javadoc\jdbc4\org\apache\derby- the directory that i think works-)
Also when i browse for the root directory i get this message:"Error Parsing the sdk-( program Files\Sun\JavaDB\javadoc\jdbc4\org\apache\derby\platforms is missing"
Then after i exit out of the notification i get this " SDK Platform Tools is missing! Please Use the SDK Manager to install it."
And then after that one i get this: Failed to get required ADT version number from the sdk. The android developer tool may not work properly.
To install the ADT tools plugin you need the link from the android site for the repository.. then you go to preferences in eclipse and set android to the android sdk location.
not sure, but i think thats what you were talking about.

how to run .exe files in android phone
Android is a linux system, and .exe files only work on windows systems.
If you would like to get more info, there is a thread on the askubuntu.com site that explains it well.
On Linux nearly any file can be executable. The file ending just describes (but not necessarily) what or how a file is "executed". (the last sentence is copied and pasted from that thread)

Add APK - repack system.img

I was looking for a similar topic but I did not find one. Refers to problems with running applications added to "system.img".
I bought UMIDIG S for my father-in-law. It is based on a mediatec chipset. Unfortunately, soft is tragic, and there is no full translation, so I decided to bury it a bit in "system.img".
I can easily install the file in Linux and make changes in it. I can delete applications, I can make changes in configuration files and "buikd.prop".
Unfortunately, all APK files were uploaded to "system.img" even though I set permissions 755 for directories, and 644 for directories. Although the files are root: root, after uploading such "system.img" none of these applications works for the phone. The system sees them and tries to load. Unfortunately, applications hang because of errors. The system informs that the application hangs, and does not load its window. The icons of these applications and the names do not appear either (applications have green robocik as icon, and domain name, e.g. com.android.clock ....)
I am asking for advice. How to add APK files to the unzipped "system.img" so that after packing and uploading to the phone there were no errors ???
Do you have found how add app in system.img?
It's all around, but you can replace apps with others. In the linux system, unpack the img, and mount them. Then you can freely rename files as well as move files within the .img mount point
I chose the applications or other files I did not need, and moved them to the directories (which I named my applications). If the application needed libraries, you also had to get files in a similar way, and place them in arm or arm64 directories.
Then prepared files "stuffed" with data, using the command DD. That is, dd if = (source file) of = (the recipient file at the system.img mount point).
Thanks for reply, so this only on Linux? For Windows there is something?

I do not know, I do not use Windows. Certainly you can in a similar way from BSD systems, probably from Android and MacOS. I read something that Microsoft can somehow support linux shell, but I do not know the details. You can always use some distribution that works with a pendrive.
Thanks, I will try again

You can use Virtual Box to run a Linux distro inside Windows or you can try using Cygwin.

How to open APK file in Ubuntu 18.04

In Ubuntu 16.04, the Archive Manager (file-roller) opened an APK file. You could simply click on the APK and the contents would be displayed, But in 18.04 that capability no longer exists. I have no idea why the Ubuntu developers removed that capability. Now I know I can open an APK file in 18.04 by renaming it to a ZIP file, but I am still searching for a Linux app that can open an APK. Any recommendations (unless it involves java) are welcome. Thanks.

Moving files from Chromebook to Mt4 on Linux

HI there,
I was able to install Metatrader 4 on my Chromebook using Linux. I am now attempting to move files downloaded on the book (custom indicators and templates) into the Metatrader 4 platform. I tried clicking the "share with Linux" tab, but I wasn't successful. Normally, on Windows, you would just copy and paste or drag over the file into the mt4 platform.
Anyone know of anyway to move a file from CB to mt4 platform on Linux?
Thanks,
Michael
