How to install Android sdk to Ubuntu 14.04?

I had download Android zip file from the web site developer.android.com
And I try to install like following command in Terminal.
#cd desktop/android-sdk/tools/
#./studio.sh
After this system shows the window with title Android SDK Manager
Is it the proper procedure to install?

You can use apt-get to install , its easier.
1st) Download the repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio
2nd) Update
sudo apt-get update
3rd) install
sudo apt-get install android-studio
this will install a old version , you just have to update .
If you plan to run adb command you have to set the path on your .bashrc "OR" .profile.
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk
PATH=\$PATH:\$ANDROID_HOME:\$ANDROID_HOME/tools:\$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export PATH
you can create a desktop entry form Android Studio , in case you don't find how to create you can create by creating a file:
/usr/share/applications/android-studio.desktop
inside this file add this lines
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=Android Studio
Exec=/opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
Comment=Integrated Android developer tools for development and debugging.
Icon=androidstudio
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Development;IDE;
i create a script to do all this job but unfortunately i cant send it here.
PS: make sure you have the JAVA_HOME set .

How to install Android Studio in Ubuntu
Duplicate Question is why you are being voted down a simple google search of
android studio on ubuntu 14.04 top result is a referenced question that is protected here

Setting up Android Studio takes just a few clicks.
While the Android Studio download completes, verify which version of the JDK you have: open a command line and type javac -version. If the JDK is not available or the version is lower than 1.8, download the Java SE Development Kit 8.
To install Android Studio on Linux, proceed as follows:
Unpack the .zip file you downloaded to an appropriate location for
your applications, such as within /usr/local/ for your user profile,
or /opt/ for shared users.
To launch Android Studio, open a terminal, navigate to the
android-studio/bin/ directory, and execute studio.sh. Tip: Add
android-studio/bin/ to your PATH environment variable so you can
start Android Studio from any directory.
Select whether you want to import previous Android Studio settings
or not, then click OK.
The Android Studio Setup Wizard guides you though the rest of the
setup, which includes downloading Android SDK components that are
required for development.
Note: If you are running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you need to install some 32-bit libraries with the following command:
sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6
If you are running 64-bit Fedora, the command is:
sudo yum install zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 bzip2-libs.i686

MAC - I can't open Android Device Monitor on Mac

I have opened it as an administrator and I don't want to install anything unnecessary.
When I tried to open Android Device Monitor through Android Studio: Tools > Android > Android Device Monitor. It always shows the following screen shot:
Screen shot that shows "An error has occurred"
I have found solutions for windows, but I did not find solutions for mac.
One piece from the log:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2015-12-02 22:52:40.714
!MESSAGE Bundle reference:file:org.apache.lucene.core_2.9.1.v201101211721.jar#4 not found.
There are lots of similar lines like this showing "something not found".
So what is missing? How do I install the exact missing parts? Thanks! (There is no enough space for me to install everything from android studio.)

First of all update Android SDK Tools from SDK Manager
Open a terminal window
Navigate to your SDK
Locate the 'tools' folder
cd into it
run: sudo ./monitor
Type in your password
Hope it might solve your problem.

JPCS's solution worked for me; install Java 8 and then the Android Device Monitor will work:
First install Homebrew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Then update and install Java 8
$ brew update
$ brew cask install java

I followed some steps and after long hours struggle all things got sort it out and i got success to run device moniter on Mac OS x.
what i did ?
I installed Homebrew and used its some commands to install java , because its so easy to download and install java in terminal using home-brew. its very good tool to sort out java problems automatically . but here one thing is to keep in mind . which is below ->
when you install java using Homebrew then please make sure you are using same version of java and jre with android studio.in my case my android studio using jre_1.8.0 , so installed java8.
Their some steps to follow.
just paste in terminal to download Homebrew to your system.
1.) /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
2.) $ brew tap caskroom/versions
$ brew cask install java8.
this will download and install java 8 automatically to your mac OSx.i installed java 8 for my case,java 9 is also available but i used java8. because i added jre 8 in my android studio compile path.so its required both in same version to aviod conflict.
3.) so once its installed, just restart your android studio and run device moniter from android studio.now you android studio will able to launch device moniter without any conflict.
Thank Happy coding :)

I had the same issue! Since I am not comfortable with using terminal, I just tried updating to the latest Java JDK and it seemed to fix the problem

Exception in thread "png-cruncher_x" [duplicate]

I've installed Android Studio 1.2, and created a new project. When I attempt to build, it hangs. This is in the Gradle Console, along with about 20 other copies, with different numbers after png-cruncher_:
Exception in thread "png-cruncher_2" java.lang.RuntimeException: Timed out while waiting for slave aapt process, try setting environment variable SLAVE_AAPT_TIMEOUT to a value bigger than 5 seconds
at com.android.builder.png.AaptProcess.waitForReady(AaptProcess.java:104)

I had the same problem with Debian Jessie for AMD64. I did this, and it works:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386

I had the same issue whilst running Android Studio 1.5.1 for Windows 8.1 (64 bit), and what I did to solve the problem was by adding the following two system environment variables:
SLAVE_AAPT_TIMEOUT = 30
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65
(Please note: The path for the JAVA_HOME system environment variable is dependant on where your JDK is located and that the version of your JDK may differ from the example above).

I had this problem on Windows 8.1 64 bits and what ended up solving everything was running gradle in the command line in debug mode, on the project folder:
gradlew -d assembleDebug
Running without the -d flag had the same problem.
After running the first time, everything was ok, I could even clean and rebuild my project.

I had this problem and what was missing were a library to be installed on the SDK.
Just installing the correct library immediately solved the problem.
In my case was the Android Support Library, as I was creating a navigation drawer.
The errors shown in the gradle console didn't give me a clue for the solution, and didn't helped me at all.
Click on SDK manager, and click on the tab SDK Tools, check "Android Support Library" and click apply.

This is a known bug reported here --> https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=188627
The workaround on Mac is to reboot your computer.

If you are running on a Linux x64 machine you probably miss some required libraries. The offical sdk guide states:
Required libraries for 64-bit machines:
If you are running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you need to install some 32-bit libraries with the following command:
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 lib32bz2-1.0
If you are running 64-bit Fedora, the command is:
sudo yum install zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 bzip2-libs.i686
of course don't forget to
sudo apt-get update
first.

By pausing the antivirus I don't have anymore that problem, or better by making a rule at the antivirus in order to accept a given '.class' filename recognized as trojan, then banned at compile-time.

Check your firewall if it is coming in your way. Disabling my firewall works for me but i don't know if it's the right fix.

I had the same problem with CentOS 6.5. Before this error, I found the cause of the error, as follows.
AAPT err(Facade for 1129807373): xxx/aapt: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by xxx/lib64/libc++.so)
“libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found” . The highest version of CentOS 6.5 is 2.12, and we need to upgrade to 2.14.
Display the installed glibc version:
# rpm -qa | grep glibc
To download the corresponding RPM package. -> ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/steam/
Install the RPM package as follows:
# rpm -Uvh glibc-2.15-60.el6.x86_64.rpm glibc-common-2.15-60.el6.x86_64.rpm glibc-devel-2.15-60.el6.x86_64.rpm glibc-headers-2.15-60.el6.x86_64.rpm --nodeps --force

I uninstalled 1.2 and installed 1.1, but it did't work.
Because I used local SDK installed previously, I uninstalled and reinstalled 1.1 and installed SDK to new path.
After I used SDK in new path, I don't have those errors any more.
And I upgraded Android Studio to 1.2, and also I don't have errors.

Downgrading Build Tools rescued me.

Android SDK Issues Ubuntu 10.04lts

I have looked through the other questions on here, and on other forums. The answers didn't help my issue. I originally started out with 11.10 but thought there could be a bug or something that was stopping it from working. I have had the SDK and ADT working with Eclipse on both 10.04 and 11.10 so I really am at a loss as to what is going wrong.
The error I get is as follows:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Android Traceview 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534)
Missing requirement: Android Traceview 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534) requires 'org.eclipse.ui 3.6.2' but it could not be found
When I ran the SDK install a second time (after uninstalling it) I noticed the following error:
Stopping ADB server failed (code -1).
Unable to run 'adb': Cannot run program "/home/ben/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory.
Starting ADB server failed (code -1).
I didn't see it there the first time and I don't know what it means or how to fix it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, the other 'answer' I found was from the same person who asked the question, that reinstalling everything corrected the problem, I have not been so fortunate so I thought I would re-raise the query. Thank you in advance. I am using Indigo as the version, I saw elsewhere that Helios was the lowest that could use the SDK.
Gone back to 11.10 but the issue remains the same, the laptop is a Samsung R580 64bit.
Preparing to install archives

Still appears when installing the SDK Tools using the following command from terminal:
android-sdk-linux/tools/android

You're problem is entirely different than the one posted by robertly, although I'm sure you've found it using google.
You're running 64bit ubuntu and forgot to run the following command.
apt-get install ia32-libs
The phones aren't 64bit, so there is no 64bit version of adb. You need the ia32-libs.
After this is done, open eclipse and go to
Windows -> Android SDK Manager
then, uninstall all the tools(under tools sub folder) and reinstall them.
You should no longer get the adb error.

Solution #2 - I had to do this because sudo apt-get remove eclipse didn't remove it completely and it still cause errors. Doing all of this, combined with the step above solved my problem the other night.
Delete eclipse, android folders
sudo apt-get remove eclipse
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
sudo update-alternatives --config java
Reinstall eclipse 3.7.1, android-sdk-linux folder
Proceed with normal installation.

Head on over here, it looks to be the same problem, but with a different package.

This is assuming you haven't seen that yet. If you are still having problems, I can look into it further for you.
