What is the correct way to install a custom built SDK? I have successfully built the 'Donut' android SDK, but I am having trouble installing it. I built the SDK according to the following commands:
/bin/rm -rf out mkdir out source build/envsetup.sh lunch sdk-user make sdk The 'make' ended with the following message: Package SDK: out/host/linux-x86/sdk/android-sdk_eng.root_linux- x86.zip When unzipped, the contents of the file listed as follows: $ ls -1F add-ons/ android-sdk_eng.root_linux-x86.zip docs/ documentation.html platforms/ RELEASE_NOTES.html tools/ $ I had previously installed both the 1.6 and 2.0 platforms from the 'android' tool. I attempted to install the new SDK by moving my ~/android-linux-sdk/ platforms/android-1.6 out of the way, and dropping in the unzipped platforms/android-1.6 as a replacement. But now, I find I cannot make a compatible AVD with the 'android' tool, which no longer shows android 1.6 or API's level 4 as possible targets, and on startup the tool complains as follows: $ android Starting Android SDK and AVD Manager Error: Ignoring platform 'android': build.prop is missing. Error: Ignoring add-on 'google_apis-4-r01': Unable to find base platform with API level '4' $ N.B. I did not attempt to replace the 'tools' directory or anything else above the level of 'platforms' with the contents of the new SDK because I also have a platforms/android-2.0 directory, and I reasoned that an 'android-1.6' SDK build of the tools would be incompatible with that, whereas I thought that the android-2.0 top-level 'tools' would be compatible with both. What is the correct way to install the custom built SDK so it works with both platforms? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
