Ok. Followed the instructions to installing Android_sdk (openjdk was already installed) and errors popped up...




.bashrc



my directories layout



As you can see, the Android home and root directories have been defined and the directories seem to be in order, but the init_andoid_sdk.sh says that the directories do not exist.

Another point of confusion... In the video, after downloading the command line tools file, it was extracted to the Downloads folder... Which created a command line tools folder... Then you renamed it to android_sdk... then cut and paste it into the Programs directory... then you opened the android_sdk folder to reveal the command line tools folder... Most confusing... The command line tools folder was already renamed....  I had to create an android_sdk folder then place within it the command line tools folder (as per image)... Even though I checked the 'init' and 'bashrc' files for typos the 'init' sh failed. Still a lot of head scratching...

$ANDROID_HOME and $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT both displayed the path from the terminal.

This time the error is different: Licences not accepted?

The reason why the licences were not accepted was because the "init_android_sdk.sh" did not finish successfully. Re-ran the "init" and the "licences" issue disappeared.

The build still failed:

I too will do similar. I will attempt a fresh install of Ubuntu in a VM. Reason? This will a possible eliminate a machine problem. There should be little to no change in the results of building as Mint and Ubuntu use the same repositories. But we shall see... Moo Ha Ha...

I am using oracle as well. It runs pretty smooth on my machine.
