$ cd /home/alesk/android_sdk/android-sdk-linux_x86/toolsĪs you can see, there are no Virtual Devices yet. Now you can start ddms (Dalvik Debug Monitor). starting it now on port 5037 *Ĭheck if you can see your phone as a device. $ cd /home/alesk/android_sdk/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools

Open Available packages and select “Android SDK Platform-tools, Revision 3”:Īfter installation completes, make sure that you run adb as root (by default adb starts as user). If you wish to run ddms (Dalvik Debug monitor) you’ll have to install “Android SDK Platform-tools”. I used JDK that I installed for Oracle SQLDeveloper. Make sure Java jdk is in the path (if you don’t have java on your machine, install it with sudo apt-get openjdk-6-jdk). Right know, I’m using Dalvik Debug Monitor from Android SDK to take screenshot from my HTC Hero, but on the long run I think I’ll need the SDK if I’ll ever want to write and run some python script on Android using excellent SL4A (Scripting Layer for Android). It was about time to install Android SDK on my ASROCK workstation powered by Ubuntu 10.04.
