I am a new to using Linux, I just downloaded the SDK 1.5 and I am having some trouble getting the tools to work properly. For example. If I try to open the emulator it will just sit there and do nothing. I cannot get adb to work either. I set it up / the instructions. Any ideas on what I am missing? Thanks
easiest way to fix the adb problem is to move your adb command that is included in the SDK into your /usr/bin or /bin directory. if you have a problem with either of those then type cd ~/<sdk>/tools followed by ./adb the "./" tells the phone to run the command in the current directory, otherwise you could just type the directory to adb to run it i.e. ~/SDK/tools/adb that's all you need. as far as the emulator i have no idea because i have never gotten it up and running properly
How do I add the ADB command to usr/bin?
You can do as followed:
- Run the Terminal
- cd to your sdk/tools directory
- Run these command:
Code:
#./adb kill-server
#./adb devices
If you see your HTC has been remounted, it's done!
sudo mv ~/sdk/tools/adb /usr/bin/adb

Got it thanks for your help! I still can't get the emulator to work. Oh well Thanks again
What version of Linux? Are you using 64 Bit? What is the result of typing
Code:
java -version
You created the AVD, right?
What do you get when you type:
Code:
android list avd

They made a change in 1.5 SDK that you must specifiy the virtual device you want the emulator to run. if you just double click on "emulator", it will print the error to console and exit.
So first cd to the tools directory of the sdk and type android[return]
you will be given the commands that android (the program) will accept. you can also do this for emulator.
Great!! Everything is working well now. Thanks for everyones help!!
How Do I get fastboot working in Ubuntu?

fastboot is included in the 1.5 sdk, once you get adb working it should start working as well.

Actually it doesn't seem to be in the Linux 1.5 SDK; I had to build it. It's in the Windows SDK, though. Kinda weird.
Android SDK 1.5 emulator trouble in windows
hi i m new to xda and to android i m not tech savy
i install sdk 1.5 i try ddms it works good what when i try to lanch emulator nothing happnes and i try by going in command promt im getting this error can any one help me out in this
C:\Documents and Settings\jass>emulator
emulator: ERROR: You did not provide the name of an Android Virtual Device
with the '-avd <name>' option. Read -help-avd for more information.
If you *really* want to *NOT* run an AVD, consider using '-data <file>'
to specify a data partition image file (I hope you know what you're doing).

First, this is the wrong thread for such a question. This thread is about SDK issues in Linux, and you're asking about using debugging tools in Windows.
Second, if you say yourself that you are "not tech savvy", then I'm not quite sure why you are wanting to play with the SDK tools. I don't mean this in a derogatory way; I'm just not sure what it is that you're trying to accomplish.
That said, Android dev docs can be found here, and information specifically about the emulator is here.

Ok, so I've a newly installed 64bit ubuntu, and I've just downloaded the android SDK.
I managed to run the "android command the first time round whereby I successfully downloaded android versions 2.3+
I was very clever and did this through the terminal, by going in to my android SDK directory, and then tools (for me cd /android/tools)
and then I typed android, and the gui came up..... all good.
I then decided I needed to add this directory to my path, I did some jiggery pokery here, not too much, but I cant say exactly what I did, but now, when I try to run the android command, from the correct directory all I get is the following:
Code:
[email protected]:~/android/tools$ dir
adb_has_moved.txt dmtracedump hprof-conv NOTICE.txt zipalign
android draw9patch layoutopt proguard
ant emulator lib source.properties
apkbuilder etc1tool mksdcard sqlite3
ddms hierarchyviewer monkeyrunner traceview
[email protected]:~/android/tools$ android
android: command not found
I know this must be down to some kind of path error, but i'm lost as to how to correct it. I've googled all over, but every explanation seems geared towards someone with more linux knowledge than mine. Please may someone explain really simply how I fix this? thanks
Hey there I have a problem with Eclipse when i select run, i get the following error before it starts:
"An internal error occurred during: "Launching New_configuration".
Path for project must have only one segment."
Is it to do with environment variable that had to be set up? If anyone can help with this id be most grateful
It seems it is not an easy thing to start android development. I followed the official instruction and tried to run the MyFirstApp example from developer.android.com on my Windows 7 64bit machine with AVD. But after 2 days effort, I am still cannot make it work for me in Eclipse and in adb command line.
The best I reached in command line approach is the following -- the second block with italic words shows the error I got:
Code:
E:\Workspace\MyFirstApp>ls bin
AndroidManifest.xml build.prop
AndroidManifest.xml.d classes
MyFirstApp-debug-unaligned.apk classes.dex
MyFirstApp-debug-unaligned.apk.d classes.dex.d
MyFirstApp-debug.apk dexedLibs
MyFirstApp.ap_ proguard.txt
MyFirstApp.ap_.d res
[I][B]E:\Workspace\MyFirstApp>adb install bin\MyFirstApp-debug.apk
failed to copy 'bin\MyFirstApp-debug.apk' to '/data/local/tmp/MyFirstApp-debug.a
pk': No such file or directory
rm failed for /data/local/tmp/MyFirstApp-debug.apk, No such file or directory[/B][/I]
I hope somebody can help me about these:
1. I am in Windows with AVD, why adb want to find /data/local/tmp, which is linux style location?
2. where does the adb try to copy the apk file to? My SDK is installed under "C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk". There is no space in the address path. The source apk file is ready and should not be the cause of that error, I think.
3. Any configuration of the installed SDK needs to be modified in Windows machine? I think the SDK manager should be able to figure out what the machine is and download/install appropriate components for the user. Is that right?
I have similar or the same issue by using Eclipse.
thanks,
