Yes yes it's here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

But I forgot to mention I'm not using Firefox, or IE, or Safari, or even (shocked gasp) Chrome.

I'm using KDE rekonq, which, although technically a WebKit browser, does not inspire that over-developed site to list anything under "Choose the SDK package for your OS from the table below."

That's right. Where you see the clicker for your least-favorite OS in that "table", I see absolutely nothing. The website does not recognize my rekonq, and does not pop in the link for the Linux version. Worse, the website does not simply barf out every version, responding to the edge-case where it cannot detect any of them.

So, while I download http://dl.google.com/android/archives/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.6_r1.tgz expecting to then tell it to upgrade itself, would anyone like to try to answer the meta-question, here; how I was expected to download the LATEST version despite using an inferior browser?

(And we will next discuss the ethics & accessibility of a CAPTCHA system that shells to YouTube...)

  • Okay, THIS time the page http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (please read my first sentence again) has a clicker for the SDK for Linux. Maybe I hit the page too often or something. – Phlip Nov 08 '13 at 05:17

Are you using Eclipse or Android Studio? If you are using Eclipse, you can install the ADT directly from Eclipse

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html

In Eclipse
Help > Install New Software
In add repository, enter the URL: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Select the developer tools.

Develop!

  • Eclipse keeps asking where the SDK already is, to install it. It's this bug, but for Ubuntu: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5894929/location-of-the-android-sdk-has-not-been-setup-in-the-preferences-in-mac-os (And I have installed Android before on both Ubuntu and Win7, without all these problems.) But my main question is about the bug in Android's website. – Phlip Nov 08 '13 at 05:12

ADT (Eclipse):

Help -> Check for Updates

All the available updates including Android SDK will be automatically displayed. I updated my Android SDK to version 22.3 yesterday by following the above steps.

  • Already checked for updates; that did not get around the bug where Eclipse refused to DL the SDK for me. – Phlip Nov 08 '13 at 05:22
  • Is there any error message? – Ibungo Nov 08 '13 at 05:27
  • Nope. The irony is I've been playing with the Android SDK recreationally since 2006, and devving full time since this summer, and I have _never_ had so many platform issues as this install session. Blame the 64-bit KUbuntu... – Phlip Nov 08 '13 at 05:35
