Install Android Development Tools (ADT) on Ubuntu

[postlink]https://iamdaowner.blogspot.com/2012/06/install-android-development-tools-adt.html[/postlink]Android Development Tools or ADT is a plugin for eclipse IDE that makes our life easier when developing Android applications. I think this is the reason why we highly recommend using Eclipse IDE during Android development. See easy to understand and great ADT descriptionon this link. This post covers only how I was able to install ADT on Ubuntu 11.10. Click here if you want to view the complete links on how I completed installing  my Android Development Environment on Ubuntu.

Click to enlarge.
