OS: Ubuntu 9.04
Java: Sun JDK 6
Eclipse version: 3.5 Galileo
Android SDK: Android 1.5 SDK r3 (Also applied on Android 1.6 and 2.0 SDK)

Before you can start, you have to install jdk, type the following command in Terminal:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Sun's JDK 6 will be installed automatically.

Download Eclipse IDE for Java Developers from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, the current version is 3.5 Galileo. Extract to any location you want.
Download Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html, extract to any location you want.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.6_r1/index.html for Android SDK 1.6.

Here is page to Download the Android SDK for Android 2.0 SDK.

You are suggested to add the location of the SDK's primary tools directory to your system PATH. In my case, used on ubuntu 9.05, modify the file ~/.bashrc to include the statement:

export PATH=${PATH}:android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3/tools

where android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3/ is the location of my android sdk.

Now, it's the time to Installing the ADT Plugin for Eclipse:

Start Eclipse, click Help>Install New Software...


click ADD to add ADT site

insert https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ in the location box, and click OK.

Make sure to enable Developer Tools and click Next.

and Next again.

Accept the terms and click Finish.
You will be asked to restart Eclipse, just restart it.

Then you have to set Eclipse preferences for Android SDK.

Click Window>preference

Browse to the location where you install the Android SDK.

Click Apply, and wait for a moment, the list of SDK will be displayed, click OK.
Basically, your Eclipse+Android development IDE is finished.

Before you can Run your Android application on emulator, you have to create your Android Virtual Device (AVD).

Open a terminal, navigate to the /tools directory in the SDK package and execute:

android create avd --target 2 --name my_avd

It's time to implement a HelloAndroid to check if it's work OK.

Click File>New>Project... then select Android>Android Project... and click next.

Fill in the project details with the following values:

• Project name: HelloAndroid
• Application name: Hello, Android
• Package name: com.example.helloandroid
• Create Activity: HelloAndroid
• Min SDK Version: 2

And click Finish.



Oop!
no classfiles specified
Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1

If you see the error (I suppose you will), add Android in the Build Path.

Right click you project, Build Path>>Configure Build Path...


Enable Android 1.1 and click OK.

Wait a moment, you project will be re-built. Suppose your project will be built without error.

Right click the project, Run As>>Android Application


Wait! Wait! your first HelloAndroid will be run on Android Emulator.
