Android :: Set Up Android SDK For Command Line Development On Linux

I'm trying to set up the android SDK to develop a simple program on the command line in linux (Ubuntun 9.10). I tried eclipse, but it has know problems running on Ubuntu, so I gave up on it. Here's what I've done so far:

downloaded android-sdk_r05-linux_86.tgz from [url]
tar xvzf android-sdk_r05-linux_86.tgz
ln -s android-sdk-linux_86 android
in .tcshrc added setenv PATH .....:/home/user/android/tools
source .tcshrc
ran 'android'. This opened a gui. Under available packages: I installed everything, and quit the gui.
ran 'android list targets' and It listed these:

Available Android targets:

CODE:...........

I want to create a simple hello world program for my motorola droid. Which of these targets should I use?

How do I see the Skins?

If I run 'android' from the command line it says that that there are no virtual devices. Is a virtual device the same as a target?

How do I get a droid skin and/or a droid target and/or a droid virtual device?


I THINK that I need to run something like 'android create avd --target 2 --name my_avd', but not sure. Is there a step-by-step list of how to do this somewhere?

Later: I figured out that I had to create targets (=virtual devices) like this:

android create avd -t 1 -n myavd1
....
android create avd -t 8 -n myavd8

This gave me 8 virtual devices in the gui when I ran 'android' from the command line.

Does anyone know what api level / platform to use for the Droid? And where to get the right skin? Is there anything hardware-specific that I need to know for Droid development?

Finally, are there any lists of steps to create a hello world app from the command line (linux) and run it on the emulator and then run it on a real phone?
