So far Ive managed to download and install the SDK and its in my PATH. Problem now is that I can't run "android update sdk" since it expects to be connected to a display and Im connected to a remote headless server through ssh (its a build server so there's no desktop env). Is there a command-line option for the android tool that tells it to run without X ?

How to install Android 1.6+ on a headless Linux server. Our continuous integration build machine is a headless server in the cloud.
Following the instructions, I downloaded android-sdk_r3-linux.tgz, untarred it, added its location to my path, and tried to update. This what I got:
" root@savendipity:/usr/local/share/android-sdk-linux/tools# android update sdk
No command line parameters provided, launching UI. See 'android --help' for operations from the command line.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-pi- gtk-3550 or swt-pi-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file
+ stack trace "
I don't know whether this message means that it is not possible to update the SDK without a GUI, that my command line is wrong, or that my environment is missing something that would allow me to install from the command line.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo i am wanting to fiddle around with the new sdk but I never learned how to use command line in any IDE. Anyways I need to create an AVD with the command line can someone please tell me the steps or tell me somewhere I can read up on this. I have tried google searching command line eclipse, but the only results I get are nifty commands I can use once I actually find out how to get a command line. I am using windows.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm still pretty new to Android and programming in general, and I can't seem to get the command line tools packaged with the Android SDK to work. I'm running Mac OSX and each time I try to run layoutopt, for example, the terminal returns, *-bash: cmd: command not found. Also, is it okay to have my SDK located in the Developer directory and my android project in some unrelated directory when using these tools?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI can't figure out how to get the platform files for development, without running 'android' and starting the GUI. I want to avoid running GUI applications on my dev server, since it's headless and I don't want to forward X particularly. I can't imagine that it does anything more than figure out your platform, pull down a tarball and unpack it, surely this doesn't necessitate a gui, does anyone know how I can get the platform files without it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if there is an application that will send command lines to a PC? I would like to use this to either both launch programs and send other commands (such as changing the audio output on my PC). I am able to do this by creating shortcuts to the commands, then using a remote program (like premotedroid) to control the mouse and click the shortcuts, but it would be really cool if the phone could just send the command directly to the PC.

My problem is since I'm attaching jdb to DDMS I cannot set proper classpath (jdb just won't start when I try to set -classpath and -attach together).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an interesting problem: My boss/the-marketing-team want to be able to distribute a separate version of our application to a number of 'partners'. The application itself would be *exactly* the same app, except that they'd like a partner-specific property to be passed to our web-service when the app runs (for tracking). The last thing I want to do is have 'n' builds of the product, each with a single constant changed (or a difference in the Manifest). This would be a maintenance nightmare, as well as the obvious issues you have when you have multiple mostly-identical versions of a product floating around.
I also suspect the Android Market would have a problem with "MyProduct for X users", "MyProduct for Y users", etc. Showing up for download. In a perfect world everyone would download the same app, and there would be some cool undiscovered Android feature where the Market URL could include "&vendorcode=X" that would be passed into the app on install. My question is this: Since the install process would be initiated by the user clicking on a link in their browser of choice (on the Android device), is there *any* way that the web server could be sent some 'device specific identifier' by the browser that would also be available to my APK? (In this way the web server would be able to match up the original install request and the first run of the app after install).

I have been using this command to create different bootanimation.zip files from my phone but am wondering if there is an alternative command I can use from within Android.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy question concerns using aidl.exe (on a Windows system) from the command line. This question has nothing to do with Eclipse, Netbeans, etc. Included with the Android SDK are the following three AIDL definition files: IRemoteService.aidl IRemoteServiceCallback.aidl ISecondary.aidl. Located in the following directory: C:android-sdk-windowsplatformsandroid 2.1samplesApiDemossrccomexampleandroidapisapp. For the sake of simplicity, I copied aidl.exe into the above directory. Then, from a console Window, I successfully used the following two commands to generate .java files: C:Android-projectApiDemossrccomexampleandroidapisapp>aidl IRemoteServiceCallback.aidl C:Android-projectApiDemossrccomexampleandroidapisapp>aidl ISecondary.aidl. Invoking these commands produced the files: IRemoteServiceCallback.java and ISecondary.java, respectively. So far so good.
