greetings.
I'm trying to get a development environment for Android set up on my laptop running Debian Wheezy 7.6.
In my searches on the interwebs I located this tutorial:
http://www.suntimebox.com/android-game- ... 7-squeeze/
which seemed to be the best description of the process I could find (I use Android Studio on my Windows machine, but can't figure out how to use it in Linux) I got as far as
"Download Android SDK using the following command (note version at this time is 22.0.1):
@ https://developer.android.com/sdk/index … xistingIDE"
and here's where my process breaks down. Entering this at the command line returns a "bash: @https://developer.android.com/sdk/index: No such file or directory" and I don't know what to do about it.
Any assistance that someone can provide in getting either of these development environments working would be gratefullly received.
thanks

Re: Using Debian to develop for Android
I think you're supposed to download the package from that link rather than enter it as a command and then follow the steps listed underneath the link.
However, the link is dead and the guide advises adding Ubuntu PPAs to your sources.list so it is quite likely that the author of this guide doesn't have a clue how to use Debian and following that guide may bork your system...

Re: Using Debian to develop for Android
Hello!
I installed android studio recently, but on debian Jessie (8).
I downloaded it from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and then followed the installation instructions (http://developer.android.com/sdk/instal ... pkg=studio). The location I moved android studio to was /opt/.
I had to install some extra packages (as noted in the install instructions).
Checking my history the following seems to be the ones I installed:
And I also installed openjdk.
The guide you linked advises that you should add Ubuntu PPA, which as far as I know can cause havoc with your system unless you know what you are doing (or you trust the author of the article).
