ADT-Bundle installation on Ubuntu

The ADT(Android Development Tools) is a custom plugin for Eclipse IDE offering a powerful Integrated Development Environment for android Apps.
The installation of ADT-Bundle is as fairly simple as googling  the key word "android sdk"

• If you have Ubuntu on 64-bit,  then download 

wget  http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64.zip  ( as today 01/26/2013 )


or go to the following link:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#linux-bundle

• As an Eclipse  IDE, you need to unzip the file "adt-bundle-linux-x86_64.zip" in your fav devlopment directory(dev_env_dir).

unzip adt-bundle-linux-x86_64.zip ( assuming you have unzip installed )

• Find and Run the Eclipse application file (dev_env_dir/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64/eclipse/eclipse) . 

And you are good to go.

• But before that, I want you to be aware of some prerequisite :

 You will to install ia32 libraries
This package contains runtime libraries for the ia32/i386 architecture, configured for use on an amd64 or ia64 Debian system running a 64-bit kernel
You need this beause the AVD( Adroind Virttual Device ) are built for  32-bit arch

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

• Now, lastly, you need to install the SDK updates :

From eclipse, open the Android SDK manager and and check to install

1. Tools 
2. "Android 4.x" the APIs you will use in your development. you need at least one ( I installed them all ) 
3. Extras.
