Install Ubuntu 13 and Android ADT in Win7 for 64 bits PC

Step1: Install Ubuntu to real disk

What ever, we need to install Ubuntu into disk. I use EasyBCD 2.2 to help install Ubuntu.

The configure file in EasyBCD:

title Install Ubuntu
root (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz.efi boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso
quiet splash locale=zh_CN.UTF-8
initrd (hd0,1)/initrd.lz

Notice that we need to change (hd0,1) to the real target drive index, for example, I'm going to install Ubunut in drive E: and it's my 2nd drive from C:. So I use (hd0, 1) as my Ubuntu drive. Don't forget tocopyubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.isoto C:/ and extract vmlinuz.efiand initrd.lz from Ubuntu ISO to C:/ , too! Then, restart Windows7.

By the way, when you are using Ubuntu ISO to install Ubuntu system, don't forget to: 

1. Remove the formated disk
2. Add new partition for /, /home as well as swap. If the disk size is 100G, then assign 50G to /, 42G to/homeas well as 8G toswap. Don't forget to boot system from/dev/sda, not any other one. If you choose anything else, then you may mostly meet an issue of booting Ubuntu system when reboot.

After the installation, we may meet an issue of booting for Ubuntu system. Then we can do the following scripts during fixing:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Step2: Install JDK (Java Development Kits)

I'm using a tarball in binary jdk-7u25-linux-x64.tar.gz, and unpakcage it and configure ~/.bashrc as the following environment:

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Customized by ERIC
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# for JAVA
JAVA_HOME=$HOME/tool/jdk1.7.0_25    # Change it to the real path of you extract JDK.
export JAVA_HOME

JRE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME/jre
export JRE_HOME

CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/jre:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib
export CLASSPATH

PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH

Step3: Install Android ADT

I'm using a zip package which download from Android official site as adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130717.zip, unpackage it as well and configure ~/.bashrc like the following:

# for Android ADT
ANDROID_SDK_HOME=$HOME/tool/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130717/sdk    # Change it to the real path of the location of Android SDK.
export ANDROID_SDK_HOME

CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ANDROID_SDK_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_SDK_HOME/platform-tools
export CLASSPATH

FAQ:

What if I met of missing file sdk/platform-tools/adb?

Don't worry, I run the command to install 32 bit libraries as well to fix the issue. After doing so, we can use eclipse and create a new virtual device using it.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Where can I get Android SDK source code?

To download SDK source code into local. 

> git clone http://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git 

Will fill some more features when I got time on it. And I'm now going to develop with Android system base development together with C++.

Have fun! :)
