Setting up AndroidSDK in Ubuntu?

[mrinehart93]

Has anyone successfully setup the Android SDK in Ubuntu? I keep getting "Insufficient Permissions for Device"

I did it yesterday, took me a few hours! lol.

[Q] How to install adb on linux??? (ubuntu) - xda-developers Gets adb working, I will look for sdk installation link I used.

EDIT.. Here are links I was at yesterday. One thing that I did not do and kept it from working was go into tools folder and executing the sdk manager.

"To start the SDK Manager, please execute the program "tools/android".

Just wondering did you
adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server

Yup, it's easy.

Apparently the server needs to be started while in su, but I don't know how to access the adb path while in su, so I had to go:

cd ~/{android_sdk_folder}/tools

sudo su

./adb kill-server

./adb start-server

exit

now "adb devices" works, and you should have no more insufficient permissions errors. You have to do this every time you want to start an adb shell, unfortunately. (Well, i'm SURE there's a workaround, but I'm a *nix neophyte, so this is my solution).
