This article describes how to setup Eclipse on Fedora 15 for developing Android Apps
Before you start you might want to have a look at the system requirements for developing Android applications using the Android SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html
Step 1: install eclipse
run the following command as root:
# yum install eclipse
(...)
xml-commons-resolver noarch 1.2-7.fc15 fedora 106 k
Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Install 60 Package(s)
Total download size: 198 M
Installed size: 478 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y
Step 2: download Android SDK
download the sdk from this page http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html via browser or with wget:
wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r12-linux_x86.tgz
Step 3: extract the sdk
If you have downloaded the tar to your $HOME directory, change to that directory and extract the archive:
cd
tar -xvf android-sdk_r12-linux_x86.tgz
Step 3: Install the ADT Plugin
start eclipse and then go to "Help" --> "Install new software..."
Then click on the "Add..." button:
...and enter the URL for the ADT plugin (https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/):
Select the developer tools:
click next:
accept the license agreement and click the "Finish" button:
Wait until the software is installed...
At the end eclipse will ask you if you want to restart the application. Click the "Restart Now" button:
If you then see a message like "Could not find folder 'tools' inside SDK ...":
click "OK" and go to Window --> Preferences:
And set the correct location for the SDK:
Then go to "Window" --> "Android SDK and AVD Manager"
Click on "Available Packages" and select the Platform you need. Then click on "Install Selected"
and again, accept the license:
Ok, now everything is set up to create a Virtual Android Device. Go to "Window" --> "Android SDK and AVD Manager" and click on "new":
Ok, I think that's it. Have fun :)
