Getting Android SDK Tools to work on Raspberry PI
android-sdk-tools, linux, raspberry-pi
Solution
First, you have to look in your /usr/share/java folder, for the file swt.jar If that doesn't work, try:
sudo apt-get install libswt-gtk-3-java
Which will put `swt-gtk-3.8.0.jar` in the `/usr/share/java` folder.
Create the folder `/home/pi/android-sdk-linux/tools/lib/arm`
Then, copy whichever file you chose, (`swt-gtk-3.8.0.jar`, or `swt.jar`) and place it in your `/home/pi/android-sdk-linux/tools/lib/arm` folder. This worked for me, and I hope it will also work for you.
Problem
I am currently attempting to start developing for Android on the Raspberry PI 2. I have already ruled out the posibility of using an IDE such as Eclipse or Android Studios (yes I know the RPI isn't even meant to be able to run it) so I am now looking at developing from the command line. What I have so far: - An arm ported `adb` - Ant tools ( & pand tools ) Now all I need to have is the `android` executable which is contained in the stand-alone SDK. I have downloaded it from this source (`android-studio-ide-135.1641136-linux.zip`). However, when I try to run the `android` executable in the command line I get the following error: ``` SWT folder '/home/pi/android-sdk-linux/tools/lib/arm' does not exist. Please export ANDROID_SWT to point to the folder containing swt.jar for your platform. ``` when I run any command from the `android` file. I have no idea what to do or how to fix it as I am a complete noob when it comes to the RPI and anything with Linux in general. Any pointers as to how to fix this? Thanks.
