“1 Installing Java
Android SDK is built around Java . So, you have to install Sun Java
before trying to install Android. Look at this post for details
about installation of sun java development kit on ubuntu 9.04.“2) Download android sdk. The current version ( 1.6 R1 ) is
available as a tar.gz file from google. Look at this link . You
will be prompted to accept android licence and if you accept it,
you will be redirected to another link which will permit you to
download the sdk. ( It is around 222MB)”
