I've had repeated bad experiences with installing the Android SDK with Eclipse (as Google recommends) on both x86 and amd64.
Here is what I have found to work:
  • Install Java, preferably dev-java/sun-jdk.
  • emerge dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager, add your user account to the android group, log out and back in (as the ebuild tells you to).
  • Do not install Eclipse using portage. Instead just download it from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.
  • (Optional) tar -xvzf eclipse-SDK-3.7.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz ; mv eclipse /opt/eclipse ; chown root:android -Rv /opt/eclipse ; chmod 775 /opt/eclipse ; chmod g+w -Rv /opt/eclipse/
  • (Continued) Add /opt/eclipse to your $PATH somewhere. I threw it in with /etc/env.d/80android-sdk-update-manager.
  • I had a minor problem where my system-wide proxy settings weren't playing nice with Eclipse so I set it to pass through.
  • Now you can install ADT and use the 'android' command to install SDKs you need.
I know it's a short post, but if it reduces your frustration it was worth it. These instructions should become irrelevant as Gentoo continues to support Eclipse and makes newer version available through portage.

Just wanted to say thanks for the HOWTO - I used the "seden" overlay to get eclipse, but apart from that followed your guide with little drama. I did run into an issue when first installing the ADT tools, but added the appropriate (Indigo) eclipse software repository to get past the ADT errors.

Thanks so much, this should really be on top.

Is still still needed.
Can anyone cut my mileage a little shorter and tell me?
Can I just emerge eclipse-sdk instead?
P.S. I mean, eclipse-sdk is the weak part
I just saw:
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/dev-util/eclipse-sdk
It's very red...

Portage version is still masked and old, use the seden overlay and you'll be good to go (AFAIK)..

Thanks for looking into this.
You might be right.
But also, I just found that people have that red portage one, which is just a few days old (see changelog, the link above), working.
Here.

P.S. I was wrong. What took me longer to figure out, is the man is talking about
Code:
dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.7.1-r7::seden

I got my system all backed up. I only lose whole lotta time if I fail... Ouch...
I like things from portage so much more when they're there...
I'm going for it!
Thanks again! God bless!

As I said, ghaith, you might be right.
Because:
Code:
emerge -avtuDN dev-util/eclipse-sdk

gave me:
Code:
...
The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by dev-util/eclipse-sdk (argument)
# /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Ralph Sennhauser <sera@gentoo.org> (18 Jul 2012)
# Unmaintained, multiple vulnarabilities. #351626
# A more recent source build maintained by the community is available in the
# seden overlay. A more recent binary is available in the java-overlay.
=dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.5.1-r1
...

It's hard thinking, now.
Anybody cut my mileage shorter somewhat, I can't figure out all this yet...
Yeah, upon reading the notice a few times, ghaith, you be apprentice, I go back to noob. lol ...
:oops:

I did follow these steps, but I received the error message:
Code:
aapt: cannot execute binary file

when I start a new Android Project in the Eclipse.
It seems that some libraries are required on amd64-basd system, but I don't know what they are.

Hi,
I've just installed latest Eclipse (Kepler).

The instruction given are good, except that the last command in the step 4 is incorrect.
It should be:

Code:

chmod g-w -Rv /opt/eclipse/


With the g+w Eclipse throws out an error about file locking.

Thank you.
