[SOLVED] Android development tools?

turboscrew · 11-03-2014, 08:44 AM

Are there ADK etc. stuff available in some Slackware repo?
I have Java and Eclipse already installed.
I'd be interested in running programs on both emulator and on a real thing.

I'm total noobie in Android-world, so all kinds of pointers are welcome too.
My aim is to get "under the hood" of Android at some point.

I did some builds of CyanogenMod rom in the past, and back then there is no slackbuild for Android SDK.
You can grab the Android SDK, unzip or untar it, and put the binaries on your normal user path. Then you can call the SDK manager, update it and run the emulator.

OFF topic= I tried to build the Nexus 4 AOSP rom from source, but the proprietary binaries from third parties it was a mess. It was missing the bluetooth stuff and i could not complete the tree to build...

If you want to develop some Android apps with eclipse check this link:
https://developer.android.com/tools/...lipse-adt.html
After installing the ADT plugin in eclipse you can use the sdk manager in eclipse to download the android sdks, emulators and build tools. You will also need the 32 bit libraries for building android apps with eclipse on a 64bit slackware. Check the multilib stuff from alienbob her http://www.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/

Getting the ADT bundle is the recommended option.
