I have struggled the whole day now to get Android installed on a clean Ubuntu 9.10 installation with Sun Java 6 and Open JDK 6. At first I got a https message, I got around that by forcing http mode. I have successfully installed SDK Platform 1.6 and 20, SDK Tools (rev 3) and Documentation for Android API 5, but I could not install the Google API, because no matter what I tried or which version I tried, I always got the same error (Download finished with wrong size). I tried to install other versions of Android SDK, and got the same message there, then I tried to do an android upgrade sdk. It ?successfully? did that - apparently downloading all packages that failed as well, but they still did not appear in the installed packages. After restarting it yet another time I tried installing the Google API 1.5 once more. This time it worked, but this is definately not good enough. Why should I download packages over and over again? Why does it even happen that the size is wrong time after time? Why does it not seem to cache any of the downloads that were done? Why is https a problem? Surely a SDK of a cellphone operating system that is expected to be used more than the iPhone should work better than this, or at the very least there should be helpful messages or work arounds if a download is not successful.
