I wanna setup Android Development Environment in Linux. I have done it in Windows before but wanna set it up in Linux. Is there any guide on how i can do it ?

Downloaded Eclipse, Java JDK, ADT, SDK for linux

the SDK is around 25mb only. Looks like it doesnt have the platform files. From where can i download the platform files for 2.2 and 2.3.

I dont have internet on the linux machine.

    IME this process will go much quicker if you have internet access directly on the machine you are installing software on, as the packaging software knows where to go to get the files it needs from the internet. – Robert Harvey Apr 25 '11 at 18:30

  1. download and install the JDK

  2. download and unzip the android SDK (from developer.andriod.com)

  3. export the path to the android sdk (in ~/bash.rc append the line)

    export PATH=${PATH}:/path/to/the/sdk/tools/folder

  4. Download and install eclipse

  5. Download the eclipse Plugin

  6. Start eclipse

  7. Click Help -> Software Updates

  8. Click Availble Software

  9. Add Site

  10. Enter the path to the plugin

  11. select the plugin and install

That should do it... Look here http://www.softwarepassion.com/setting-up-android-development-platform-on-ubuntu-linux-904/ and here http://fyi.oreilly.com/2009/02/setting-up-your-android-develo.html for more info
