Question

How to set ANDROID_HOME path in ubuntu?

Please provide the steps.

Answer 1

In the console just type these :

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools

If you want to make it permanent just add those lines in the ~/.bashrc file

Answer 2

I would like to share an answer that also demonstrates approach using the Android SDK provided by the Ubuntu repository:

Install Android SDK

sudo apt-get install android-sdk

Export environmental variables

export ANDROID_HOME="/usr/lib/android-sdk/"
export PATH="${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}tools/:${ANDROID_HOME}platform-tools/"

Answer 3

Assuming you have the sdk extracted at ~/Android/Sdk,

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

1. Add the above lines to the file ~/.bashrc (located at home/username/.bashrc) to make it permanent for the current user. Run source ~/.bashrc to apply the changes or restart your terminal.

   (or)

2. Run the above lines on a terminal window to make it available for the session.

To test if you have set it up correctly,

Run the below commands on a terminal window

1. echo $ANDROID_HOME

   user@host:~$ echo $ANDROID_HOME
   /home/<user>/Android/Sdk
   

2. which android

   user@host:~$ which android
   /home/<user>/Android/Sdk/tools/android
   

3. Run android on a terminal window, If it opens up Android SDK Manager, you are good to go.

Answer 4

better way is to reuse ANDROID_HOME variable in path variable. if your ANDROID_HOME variable changes you just have to make change at one place.

export ANDROID_HOME=/home/arshid/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Answer 5

Initially go to your home and press Ctrl + H it will show you hidden files now look for .bashrc file, open it with any text editor then place below lines at the end of file.

export ANDROID_HOME=/home/varun/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:/home/varun/Android/Sdk/tools
export PATH=$PATH:/home/varun/Android/Sdk/platform-tools

Please change /home/varun/Android/Sdk path to your SDK path. Do the same for tools and platform-tools.

After this save .bashrc file and close it.

Now you are ready to use ADB commands on terminal.

Answer 6

Add the following to your ~/.bashrc file. Log-out and log-in. I have my sdk in $HOME/Documents/Android/sdk you have to replace it with where you keep your sdk folder

# Android Path
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Documents/Android/sdk:$HOME/Documents/Android/sdk/tools
export PATH

# For SDK version r_08 and higher, also add this for adb:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Documents/Android/sdk/platform-tools
export PATH

Answer 7

first open the .bashrc file by gedit ~/.bashrc

# Added ANDROID_HOME variable. export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

save the file and reopen the terminal

echo $ANDROID_HOME

it will show the path like /home/pathTo/Android/Sdk

Answer 8

Applies to Ubuntu and Linux Mint

In the archive:

sudo nano .bashrc

Add to the end:

export ANDROID_HOME=${HOME}/Android/Sdk

export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools

Restart the terminal and doing: echo $ HOME or $ PATH, you can know these variables.

Answer 9

This is what work for me, Assuming you have the sdk extracted at ~/Android/Sdk,

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Add the above lines to the file ~/.bashrc (located at home/username/.bashrc) to make it permanent for the current user. Run source ~/.bashrc to apply the changes or restart your terminal. (or) Run the above lines on a terminal window to make it available for the session. To test if you have set it up correctly, Run the below commands on a terminal window

echo $ANDROID_HOME

user#host:~$ echo $ANDROID_HOME

You will get

/home/<user>/Android/Sdk

You can run this too

which android

user#host:~$ which android

/home/<user>/Android/Sdk/tools/android

Run android on a terminal, If it opens up Android SDK Manager, you are good to go.

Answer 10

Download the Android SDK to the machine. (Suppose that the location is /home/zelong/Android/Sdk) (home/username/Android/Sdk)

Add these lines to the file ~/.bashrc (located at home/username/.bashrc)

export ANDROID_HOME="/home/zelong/Android/Sdk"
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

This will make it permanent for the current user because every time the machine boots, it will run this script and set the enviroment path.

After making this change, remember to save it.

Then run source ~/.bashrc to apply the changes or restart your terminal.

Test if it works:

zelong@zelong-ThinkPad-T430:~$ echo $ANDROID_HOME
/home/zelong/Android/Sdk
zelong@zelong-ThinkPad-T430:~$ which android
/home/zelong/Android/Sdk/tools/android
zelong@zelong-ThinkPad-T430:~$ which adb
/home/zelong/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb

As we can see,

android command line locates under tools

adb command line locates under platform-tools

Answer 11

In the terminal just type these 3 commands to set the ANDROID_HOME Variable :

$ export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk 

/Android/Sdk is the location of Sdk, this might get change in your case

$ PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
$ PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools `   

Note : This will set the path temporarily so what ever action you have to perform, perform on the same terminal.

Answer 12

If you run android with sudo it will install sdk in /root/Android/Sdk so check if that is the case. And if you are using dont run cordova with sudo it will look sdk in root also may be. Above code for setting path is works fine.

Answer 13

I was facing the same problem with linux ANDROID_HOME path

Note:
1- Add parameters

2- Make or Rebuild project

3- Restart your PC

How to add parameters using terminal:

Open your terminal write

gedit .bashrc

another window will be open and then add the following lines at the end of the windows.

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools 
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

then back to terminal and type

source .bashrc

to save your changes in bashrc file at the end restart your computer.

Answer 14

you can edit the environment variable file in Ubuntu to set android home globally.

[1] run this command in terminal

sudo -H gedit /etc/environment

[2] your envirmnent file content will look like the below one

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"

[3] in environment file add android sdk path as follows:-

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
ANDROID_HOME="/home/yourPathTo/Android/Sdk"

[4] then you can check the Android home path in the terminal with the following command:-

echo $ANDROID_HOME

If path is still not set then restart the system to get the applied changes.

Answer 15

Had the same issue, in the terminal you can type:

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk

or any other location depending on where you installed the sdk.

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Hope it helps!

Answer 16

In my case it works with a little change. Simply by putting :$PATH at the end.

# andorid paths
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/emulator:$PATH"

Answer 17

sudo su -
gedit ~/.bashrc
export PATH=${PATH}:/your path
export PATH=${PATH}:/your path
export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/workspace/android/android-sdk-linux/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/workspace/android/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

Answer 18

You can append this line at the end of .bashrc file-

export PATH=$PATH:"/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/"

here /opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/ is installation directory of Sdk. .bashrc file is located in home folder

vi ~/.bashrc

or if you have sublime installed

subl ~/.bashrc

Answer 19

open ~/.bashrc file and paste at the end

export PATH=$PATH{}:/path-from-home-dir/android/sdk/tools
export PATH=$PATH{}:/path-from-home-dir/android/sdk/platform-tools

Answer 20

add to file

~/.profile 


export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/android-sdk

Path to the SDK

Then reset the computer
