install android sdk on ubuntu

Issue

I have downloaded the android sdk tools now according to this page I should update it so I go to it's directory and type:

./android

when sdk manager opens I can see that sdk tools is installed but there isn't anything else to do. But since Qt doesn't recognize sdk so I assume I have not completely installed it yet. Is there anything else I should do to complete the installation?

Edit: I tried somthing else. I downloaded ADT bundle. in that folder there is a sdk folder I used that folder and it worked with qt. But in that directory there are some folders that in my original sdk didn't exist:

extras
platform-tools
system-images

Solution

I suggest you to go with ADT Bundle for Linux, you can get it from following link

Android ADT for Linux

• Extract the downloaded package.
• Download OpenJDK for Linux and install
• Update QT if necessary
• Add your location of SDK to QT
• Now you might be able to run Eclipse from your ADT location

ADT bundle contains Eclipse + ADT plugin - A Customized eclipse with location of Android SDK is presetted
Android SDK Tools - Inside tools folder, contains android SDK services like Emulator, Hierarchy viewer, SQLite etc
Android Platform-tools - Contains the Compiler runtime, ADB etc
The latest Android platform - Contains each and every android versions you have downloaded with platform specific samples and themes for emulator
The latest Android system image for the emulator - Contains a system image for each of the emulator for the platforms you downloaded
