1. Introduction
This document contains step by step instructions to set-up Android developmemt environment,
and scope limited to set-up JDK, Eclipse, and their intigration with Android SDK. At the end, a
“Hello world” program has been written to test the set-up.
2. Installation of JAVA (JDK-6u22)
Installation
1. Download latest JDK set-up file (e.g. [Link]) from
[Link]
2. Copy the file “[Link]” at desired location e.g. “/home/jayesh/”
3. Move in to directrory where set-up file has been copied e.g.”/home/jayesh/”
#cd /home/jayesh/
3. Run the set-up file
#./[Link]
4. Now new directory may have been created with name “jdk1.6.0_22” in current directory .
Now you can remove JDK set-up file from current location e.g. “/home/jayesh/”.
#rm -rf /home/jayesh/[Link]
Configuration
1. Open the “.bashrc” file to set-up the JAVA path
#vim ~/.bashrc
2. Add the following lines at the bottom of the file.
export PATH=$PATH:.:/home/jayesh/jdk1.6.0_22/bin/
In above path, “/home/jayesh/jdk1.6.0_22/bin/” is the fully qulified path of “bin/” directory in
“jdk1.6.0_22/” directory.
export JAVA_HOME=/home/jayesh/jdk1.6.0_22/
In above path, “/home/jayesh/jdk1.6.0_22/” is the fully qulified path of “jdk1.6.0_22/”
directory.
3. To effect the modification system wide run following command
#source ~/.bashrc

#tar -xzvf [Link]
4. Now “eclipse/” directory may have been created in current location.
5. Copy “jre/” directory inside “/home/jayesh/eclipse/” from “/home/jayesh/jdk1.6.0_22/”
#cp -r /home/jayesh/jdk1.6.0_22/jre /home/jayesh/eclipse/
Configuration
1. Open the “.bashrc” file to set-up the Eclipse path
#vim ~/.bashrc
