Took me most of a day, but I finally got the SDK working under Karmic. Here's what I did:
I'm not sure this is necessary, but I installed Sun's JDK 6, and did: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun to make sure that everything was pointing to it. Karmic uses OpenJDK by default; it may work, but the Android documentation implies that it is rather sensitive about Java implementations, so I haven't tried it. Download and unpack the SDK. Add two lines to .bashrc: one to add the tools directory to the path, and this: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true to fix some GUI behavior in the "android" program. The updater should now run and allow you to install the rest of the SDK (platforms, etc.) If you already installed Eclipse from the GUI software manager, remove it using the GUI, drop to a shell and install it manually: sudo apt-get install eclipse This will install the Eclipse platform, as well as eclipse-jdt and some other things that the SDK depends on, and which the GUI install does not. Run Eclipse, go to Help / Install New Software..., and use the "Add" button to add the following update sites (name, url below): Android: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ DTP: http://download.eclipse.org/datatools/updates GEF: htp://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/ Modeling: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/releases/ Webtools: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/ Now select the Android site from the list, check both add-ons, and make sure the "contact all update sites to find required software box below is checked. ADT should now install. Restart eclipse, configure the SDK directory in Eclipse, and all should be well. Let me know if this works for you.
