Hi all,
I'm trying to setup an Android development environment on Linux (Ubuntu)
The instructions I follow atm you can find HERE
I've downloaded and unpacked the Android SDK but trying to install I'm stuck.
It's probably very easy but for me coming from MS Windows I need to get used to all these new terms and commands. :cyclops:
The tutorial clearly explains the following:
'On Mac or Linux, open a terminal and navigate to the tools/ directory in the Android SDK, then execute android sdk.'
I've opened a terminal venster but how do I execute?
Sorry for my very noobish question but any help would be highly appreciated.
Grtz, Leo

Is there any expert to help me to compile the fastboot for windows?
I need step by step, sure it's in cygwin only, but still - HOW?

Never mind; I'll keep looking.
Also, have you found a way to use fastboot on X10 in linux, but want to compile it in windows, to avoid using a virtual machine everytime we want to flash something?
Solved.
Please close the topic.

I too would love the help and for possibly someone to take me under their wing. I am very eager to learn. I'm always on my phone, and always trying to read, but sometimes the forums just contradict themselves, and let's face it, with all the drama going on in the forum, it can sometimes get a little frustrating trying to ask for help, especially when someone doesn't want to be bothered by a noob. Thanks in advance

Not sure what you are asking. For the sdk tools, do you mean the android sdk? If so, follow the instructions on the sdk page. For the images, I assume you mean the boot.img and possibly system.img. You do not open these. If you have a system.img, that means you probably have a shipped rom. Use the kitchen to create working folder from rom, and choose this. It should auto extract the system partition. As for the boot.img, you don't generally need to extract this, but there is an option in the advanced settings of the kitchen. You can change your rom's kernel in the boot.img.

Hey Guys!
First of all a bit of encouragement. The android kitchen sure as hell does not turn you into a rom developer. I decided i wanted to use the kitchen just over 2 weeks ago and run ubuntu in a virtual window. From then I decided I did not like windows anymore so installed linux as my main os and had to learn that (trust me getting the graphics card to work was a chore) I finally got the kitchen working tonight and decided to sign up to xda. Even with my limited knowledge I have been able to help someone on here tonight. Read Read Read and ask questions if you can not find the right answers on the forum. Research pays off eventually. (I now softmod nintendo wiis professionally from learning off a forum!!!!) Remember everyone has to start somewhere even if you are a noob and don't get disheartened if someone says you should have read this this and this. As long as you learn from ur mistake I'm sure people wont mind too much.

Im about to take the dive myself, still rounding up the tools. Was about to dl virtual...unbuntu etc but read this just now and it makes sence so as much as i want to screwup my phine as fast as possible i think i will follow this advice.
You might have already seen and read but what the hell....

Here's my advice for those looking to make their own Android ROMs.. Stop. Write an app or two first, learn how the system works from a developer standpoint. Learn some Java. Read the developer documentation. Learn how to use Git. Then learn how to build AOSP from source. Read the porting guides, and learn how the build system works (the links below have almost everything you could possibly want to know). Now try to put your new found skills to work on enhancing the platform by writing code or making theme overlays. And share! And put that **** on your resume. There is a *ton* of information out there but any kind of "step-by-step rom cooking guide" is going to be a complete fail- it's too broad of a subject.
Android Developer Guides: http://d.android.com
Working with AOSP source: http://source.android.com
Platform Developer Guide: http://pdk.android.com
Android Gitweb: http://android.git.kernel.org
Git Ready (Git tips and tricks): http://www.gitready.com/

How Dexopt works and what are those odex files: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pla...5936;hb=master
The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs. Read every single page. Twice. Some of the info isn't up to date, but you'll get a really good idea about what goes into actually configuring Android to work on a real device.

What version of Linux are you running? Are you running Ubuntu? I never had much luck using the Android Kitchen in a virtual environment for some reason. When I installed Ubuntu as my main OS, however, that made all the difference. From there you'll also need to make sure you have the Java Developers Kit (JDK) installed or at least open-jdk (Open source alternative) installed in order to run the Android Kitchen or the SDK for that matter.
There's a really good tutorial on how to set up the SDK on Ubuntu 10.10 or Ubuntu 11.04 which is what I had used to set up the SDK on linux for the first time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921169
I prefer 10.10 just because I'm not huge on Ubuntu's newer Unity interface and my old laptop seems to run 10.10 a lot better than 11.04 or 11.10 but that's another story.
Once you have the SDK setup, you can then run the kitchen accordingly.
I use a tool called Android Utility by tommytomatoe which is essentially a collection of tools for creating custom ROMs, editing apk's, etc. It just happens to also include dsixda's kitchen which is a nice plus. You can download that here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3303-utility-android-utility-apktooldex2jarsmalimoremac-linuxoct09-2011/
Hope this helps. Good luck, dood!
**Edit** My bad... There's also a thread for Android Utility on XDA also....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167623
Does anyone know if I need to download and install and extras before using the Xtreme Android Tools like HTC sync or the android SDK or is everything found in the Zip file. Would of posted under the same thread as the tool but im a noob and won't let me. Thanks
No SDK. I Made Sure Everything Needed Was In The Program For Easy Use.

Welcome to Dev.
1. This is Dev. Not Q&A. Not "herpy-derpy I don't know how to mount rfs" fun time. We're not here to help you with your stupid problems that you could have just googled.
2. ALL-CAPS IS NOT CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL. Even if it was, even cruise control needs a decent driver.
Now google, "How to mount RFS in (operating system, preferably linux), and see what you get.
Good? Good.
Now, lock or move.

well never mind after a brain steaming i have made it.
And for anyone who might need it. I did this in windows OS no mount or so ever.

Many times, no. It's not needed. For basic compilation, it's really not. Anyway, many people can just dump the files they need from the device itself.

maan you guys should take it easy on a newbie.
Hello dear members of XDA-developers!
This is my first post, so please don't kill me. I've tried to find the answer to my question, but I guess it's too simple, since I believe nobody ever asked this.
So, I've just finished the first tutorial about developing on the android website (can't post outside links yet, but I'm pretty sure you all know it haha) and I would like to get it working on my Galaxy Nexus, but sadly I don't know how . (I honestly have no idea what version, but I'm in the Netherlands and that's where i bought it. It's running 4.1.1)
Could you guys help me out?
I know this question must've been answered before, but I can't find it.
Yes I am aware of the fact that I am a complete and utter noob and should be killed for my lack of knowledge or pro-ness in android developing.
Anyways if you read this you've made it through all of my question, so thanks for reading ^^

Assuming you are using eclipse connect your phone to your computer via usb cable. Now click the run program button and it should be sent to your device. If you have an emulator running at the same time eclipse should ask you what what device to send it to.

Thanks for the quick response man, didn't think anyone way going to asnwer this lol.
That's right, I am using eclipse and i already tried what you suggested, but the problem is that eclipse can't find my nexus..
you think it might have anything to do with the fact that im programming for 4.1.2 and my Nexus currently runs 4.1.1?
That would be weird though, since i should have compatability all the way back to 2.3.3.
Otherwise I'd need to try and get my Nexus to run 4.1.2, but I don't think it supports it, right?
once again thanks for the response.

When I started building my first app, I built the "Hello Android" example using eclipse, to run on the emulator on my Windows PC.
When that worked, I found the built .apk file on my PC, and copied it to my DroidX, and sideloaded it, and it ran fine on the DroidX.

Yeah I've been hearing a lot about those .apk files, but where can i find them?
Once I know where that is, I just have to use a filebrowser and install it, correct?

right click in eclipse in the project browser on your project and choose "export"... then copy the apk file to your phone and install it
btw set the minimum sdk to android 2.3

EDIT:
Yeah, getting it installed on my phone was easy now, but when I start the app, it only says: "Unfortunately, MyFirstApp has stopped", but that's probably a problem within the app itself I think.
Thanks again for helping me out (well sortof anyways )
colonelmy
To fix it run
Code:
adb logcat
You can see what went wrong
Enviado desde mi XT912
Correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't think simply copying the apk into phone and installing work, because I guess the apk needs to be signed. But when you launch from Eclipse it need not have to, and will install straight away into your phone.
First you should make sure ADB detects your device.
Run this command in cmd -> C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb devices
Assuming you've installed android-sdk in C drive, turned on Android Debugging in phone. If it displays your device, then you are good to go and run your project from Eclipse.
