Android emulator

[lovinglinux]

I would be very thankful if anyone could post the steps to get the Android emulator working on Ubuntu. I have downloaded the SDK and followed the instructions on the developers site, but it doesn't even recognize the binary.

* Download sdk
$ wget http://dl.google.com/android/android...-linux_x86.tgz

$ tar -zvxf android-sdk_r10-linux_x86.tgz
$ cd android-sdk-linux_x86/

* Run android manager and install an actual sdk platform
$ ./tools/android
The go to available packages and install something like SDK Platform 2.3.3

* Now go to 'virtual devices' and create a device with the 'target' set to the SDK you installed above

* With the device highlighted, click 'start...' on the right hand side

If something doesnt work, you'll need to post exactly what you did and what the errors say

Thanks a lot. After posting, I have found this tutorial and I am following it.

So far so good. I am downloading the components right now.

I have no Internet in the emulator

Note you can now install android in virtualbox http://www.android-x86.org/, less api versions to test against and eclipse integration but faster too so it can be handy

hmm, i think that should be automatic. you could try poking around the command line using
$ adb shell
# netcfg
# logcat
that sort of thing

The connection problem seems to affect only version 2.3.3. I have connection with 1.6. Will test 2.3.1 and 3.0 now.

Internet is working with version 2.3.1 and 2.3.3.

So everything is fine now.

Thanks
