== Android Development Environment ==
===Installing===
* Setup environment for Debian (Squeeze)
aptitude install glibc sun-java6-jdk
'''NOTE:''' On 64Bit machines, the ia32-libs package is required as well.
* Download IDE
** Go here http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
** Download the latest (Eclipse Classic x.x.x), which was 3.6.1 at the time of this document
* Installing Eclipse Classic
tar zxfv ./eclipse-SDK-3.6.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz
'''NOTE:''' If you get this warning "GCJ has been detected as the current Java virtual machine.", then do the following and ensure "java-6-sun" is selected for both:
update-alternatives --config java
update-alternatives --config javac
* Download Android SDK
** Go here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
** Download the Linux (i386) file
** Extract Android SDK and remember it's path for ADT plugin
* Download ADT plugin
** Run eclipse
** Click the Help->Install New Software... menu items
** Click the "Add.." button
** Type "ADT plugin" for name and "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" for the location
** Click the "OK" button
** After the repository updates, check the "Developer Tools"
** Click the "Next >" button
** Click the "Next >" button again
** Click the "I accept the terms..." option and then click the "Finish" button
** The plugin will now install and it should show you the installation progress and if it complains about unsigned content, just click OK
** When done installing, click the "Restart Now" button
* Setup ADT plugin
** Change directory into the Android SDK directory from above (remember, the one I said to remember!?!?)
** Change directory into the tools folder and then run: ./android update sdk
** Click the "Install" button on the "Choose Packages to Install"
** Click the "Close" button when done
** Close the window
** Back in eclipse, click the Window->Preferences menu items
** Select "Android"
** Enter the SDK location from above (remember, the one I said to remember!?!?)
** Click the "Apply" button
** Click the "OK" button
** If this is the first time, then in the background a "Thanks for using the Android SDK" window should have loaded
** Uncheck "Send usage statistics to Google"
** Click the "Proceed" button

=== Troubleshooting ===

If you run into a problem with the emulator not wanting to run because of:
<pre>
./emulator: /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by ./emulator)
./emulator: /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by ./emulator)
</pre>
Then without getting into details, the fix is to simply downgrade to the previous version of the tools as such:
wget http://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r07-linux.zip
cd android-sdk-linux_86
mv tools tools.r08
unzip tools_r07-linux.zip
mv tools_r07-linux/ tools
Remember that when it's officially fixed to, you'll want to switch back
