How to Install SDK and Eclipse for Android In UBUNTU

Please follow this steps:

go to Terminal and write:
sudo update-alternatives --config java

to install eclipse you should write:
sudo apt-get install eclipse

you can also download and installed it from link blow:

The installation process for Eclipse is a simply case of extracting the downloaded archive into a suitable location, I’ve created a folder called Applications in my /home/samad directory and extracted the archive into it. Double clicking on the eclipse executable file kicked off the IDE which loaded quite quickly after prompting my for a workspace location – I just kept the default.

Then you should download and install SDK from Link blow:

After downloading the SDK you cann install it by simply extracting into a suitable location, again I extracted it into my /home/sam/Applications folder. But we are not quite finished yet – we need to use the SDK Manager to download and install at least one Android development platform first (read the ‘SDK Readme.txt in the folder when you extracted the SDK for more details). This is a simple case on executing the [SDK Folder]/tools/android file either via the command line for by double-clicking it. The SDK and AVD Manager will now load and I simply selected the ‘Available Packages’ option, selected everything in the right-hand pane and clicked on ‘Install Selected’. After a length installation process I was done – this is my SDK/AVD Manager after the installation completed.

So that’s it, we’re there yes? Well no, not yet. In the Windows world we are used to installations detecting the presence of IDEs or vice-versa and everything just working once the installer finishes. Well Linux is not like that we need to so some additional configuration before we can get coding; in fact Eclipse/Android installation is pretty much the same on all platforms, so it’s not just an Linux thing.
The first thing to do is to install the Android ADT (Android Developer Tool) plugin into Eclipse – which you’ll be happy to hear is a semi-automatic process.
  • Start Eclipse and select ‘Install New Software’ from the Help menu.
  • Click the ‘Add’ button next to the “Work With” dropdown list
  • Enter a suitable name for this resource, e.g. Android Developer Tools, and the following URL into the location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
  • Click Ok
Eclipse will now search for the ADT plugin and all things being equal will display a screen similar to this:
ADT Install Screen
Select the ‘Developer Tools’ checkbox (which
will select the DDMS and Development Tools beneath it) and click next. After agreeing to the Licence Agreement (which of course you read first) click Finish and the installation will proceed.
You may get a security warning at this point because the packages are apparently unsigned but I just clicked OK to carry on. All things being equal you will be prompted to restart Eclipse and the installation process is then complete.

Now you can start your Eclipse. HA HA. You dont know where you can find the exe file?????

ok if you want to create a symbole for eclipse you should:

Go to:
System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager
wriete eclipse in search box and when you find it you must checkmark this option.
Click on Get Screenshot buttom.
Now we are finish.
You cann find eclipse icon in : Applications -> Programming menu.

Have fun
