Android SDK Ubuntu 22.04 Command Line Installation

Installing Sdk

2. 2. Updating Android Command Line Tools

   Next to Update Android Command Line Tools
   Simply run:

   sdkmanager --install --sdk_root=~/Android/Sdk "cmdline-tools;latest"

   If prompted Agree to the License with “y”.
   But if the target Folder is missing, to make it:

   mkdir -p ~/Android/Sdk

   And again:

   touch ~/.android/repositories.cfg

   sdkmanager --update --sdk_root=~/Android/Sdk

   In case of Issue check your current Java JDK release:

   javac --version

   For further Insight see the Official Documentation.
   How Install and Switch Java JDK Guide.

3. 3. Listing Android SDK

   First, to List Android SDK Components
   All installed and available Packages:

   sdkmanager --list --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME}

   And the $ANDROID_HOME Env Var is Set to the “/Android/SDK” Target by the .bashrc Config File during the former Command Line Tools Setup.
   Then use the grep Command to refine the output List showing only the Entries matching the Keyword.
   And so for instance to show just the Build Tools releases:

   sdkmanager --list --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} | grep Build

   

4. 4. Installing Android SDK

   Then to Install Android SDK Components
   Simply run:

   sdkmanager --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} "[MYNAME;MYREL]"

   Replace [MYNAME:MYREL] in the above with suitable Choice.
   And so for instance to Setup the currently Latest API release play:

   sdkmanager --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} "platform-tools" "platforms;android-34" "build-tools;34.0.0" "emulator" "tools"

   

5. 5. Amending User’s Path

   Again Append Android SDK into the Path
   To Edit the Configuration File with nano:

   sudo nano ~/.bashrc

   And append:

   /nexport ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk/nexport ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$ANDROID_HOME/nexport ANDROID_PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/bin
   

   Ctrl+Shift+v to Paste in with nano.
   Again, Ctrl+x to Save & Exit from nano Editor.
   Finally, Reload the Bash User’s Path simply with:

   bash

   Testing the Setup:

   which android

So Now I’m truly Happy if My Guide could Help you to Quick-Start with Android SDK Development on Ubuntu 22.04!
