I would like to configure my Jenkins server on Linux to build and test android applications.
Is it possible to just install and manage android SDKs instead of having a full Android Studio installation?
Thanks,
Yes it is absolutely possible #Hichem, you can say this is the desired behaviour when you are installing Jenkins on the server.
There is a good article for doing same please have a look and feel free to ask

Since it's now possible to execute an apk file on windows mobile, is there any way to check if the environment is emulated on windows or not? I want to be aware if the app is executed on windows platform.
Users cannot run arbitrary APKs on Windows. As a developer you will choose to package and publish your APK for Windows. It can call Windows Runtime API or compile in custom checks as needed.
For more information check out the Build session “PROJECT ASTORIA“: Build Great Windows Apps with Your Android Code. You can sign up for the for the Windows Bridge for Android (fka Project Astoria) developer preview at https://dev.windows.com/en-us/uwp-bridges/android
I found the way. You just need to read file /proc/cmdline and look for the hyperv string.
I am already using IntelliJ IDEA. Do I have to download all the Android Studio files (almost 1 GB)?
Can't I just download the SDK and continue on developing?
Yes, you can download only the SDK. You can find the download link here, under "SDK Tools Only".
My understanding is this: IntelliJ IDEA's Android plugin does not always have all the latest Android-specific features, developed by Google, that are already in Android Studio.
IDEA is fine too, but if you seriously do Android, just get Android Studio, you'll be better off with it.
(I use—and love—IntelliJ IDEA too for backend & web development. Having both installed is no problem. Who cares about 1 GB of disk space.)
My first issue is: I cannot seem to find an executable for the Android SDK! I have downloaded and installed via the Android SDK Manager the necessarie files, at least I hope I have. To start the ball rolling I download: API 15, Android SDK tools and platform tools plus Android 3.2. Am I missing something? The problem is I cannot find any executable file to run my `Android SDK! Where is it?
I then went on to download Eclipse Java IDE, thinking that now I have my Android SDK installed it will surely run, the problem here is that when I try to run the executable of the download file it comes back with message:
'The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate it's companion shared library'
Any help as to what I could do to finally run my Android SDK or Eclipse Java IDE would much be appreciated.
Download eclipse 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers' from:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Then download SDK from:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

In fact the SDK has several executables: adb, android, etc. You will access these via Eclipse and/or command line. Setting up the Android development environment is surprisingly painful. It's more or less described here. Try that, and when you run into your next roadblock, you let us know.
An alternative, if you're having troubles getting everything set up, is MOTODEV Studio from Motorola. It's a free product, but requires registration. One of the use cases we pay attention to is new developers who are having trouble with Eclipse and/or the Android SDK.
Disclaimer: it's my team's product.
I want to deliver a finished and working Titanium App to Android customers. But I can't find any documentation about how to produce something like a jar-file that I can create to directly install it on Android devices without the Android market or the Titanium IDE at hand (I can't expect my users to install Titanium IDE first, right).
When you do a build for device in titanium studio, titanium studio creates an apk file for you.
You can find this at Titanium Workspace/Your Project/Build/Android/bin/app.apk. This is the app file you want.
This file can be e-mailed to your customers, and if the android phone is set to accept apps from 3rd party locations, they can install it through this e-mail.

I have a MacBook and want to start my Android development on it. But I am afraid about its possibility. Is Android development possible on Mac OS?
As of now I know that it is possible to run different operating system on different one via virtual tools like VMWare. Can it do the same?
It's posible to develop directly on the Mac OS. You have a SDK version for that and Eclipse works too. See here for a complete set up example.
yes it is possible.
Please check below link
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Yes its possible.
Android development primarily takes place with Java and in Eclipse (which itself runs on Java) and therefore is cross platform.
Download the SDK for Mac
Following the installation instructions
If you still get any problem then just go to google group and you will get the right answer..
Yes, it is very much possible. Please refer to the link below:
https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
download the android studio version for mac and get started. Happy Coding.
