Install Android SDK on Windows Bash (WSL)

setup.sh

cd /home/<user>/
sudo apt-get install unzip
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip
unzip sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip -d Android
rm sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip
sudo apt-get install -y lib32z1 openjdk-8-jdk
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
printf "\n\nexport JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64\nexport PATH=\$PATH:\$JAVA_HOME/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
cd Android/tools/bin
./sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-26" "build-tools;26.0.3"
export ANDROID_HOME=/home/<user>/Android
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
printf "\n\nexport ANDROID_HOME=/home/<user>/Android\nexport PATH=\$PATH:\$ANDROID_HOME/tools\nexport PATH=\$PATH:\$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools" >> ~/.bashrc
android update sdk --no-ui
sudo apt-get install gradle
gradle -v
adb start-server

is this "sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip" thing the latest version? anyone knows where to check?

no @rizkysyazuli, the last version is "commandlinetools-linux-7302050_latest.zip", you can check how install here too:
https://gist.github.com/jason-s-yu/30375db45c1f71c1259e042d216e4bd3

Remove all paths with spaces in WSL by adding this line in /etc/profile
PATH=$(echo $PATH | sed 's|:/mnt/[a-z]/[a-z_]*\?/\?[A-Za-z]* [A-Za-z]* \?[A-Za-z]*\?[^:]*||g')
There are other tools such as buildroot that do not work when there are spaces in PATH.

Wonderful!

So, after successfully installing, how do you resolve references while interacting with the code?

You can easily replace <user> with $USER in the script. That will make things easier since we don't have to replace the any more... It will automatically get the current user ;)

This worked flawlessly thank you so much!

Thank you, was useful!

java 11 version?

Also, the android call on L16 can be changed to sdkmanager, since android as a command is deprecated

Thank you so much!!!

i am getting this error

@Kousthubh02
/usr/bin/java is a symlink. I get the following:

ls -l $(which java)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 28 23:07 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java
ls -l /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Jan 28 23:07 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64

what does echo $JAVA_HOME give you?
You may need to add export JAVA_HOME=\path\to\java\install\location to your ~/.bashrc file and add export PATH=\path\to\java\install\location\bin;"$PATH" as well.

@5p0ng3b0b please can you confirm is the original gist above still works Aug 15th, 2024
I have been following different threads and gists referencing StackOverflow, in the StackOverflow, they are saying different things

for example you are suppose to move tools into cmdline-tools, only for an updated comment saying a new thing
i am so confused right now
