Since my laptop is old(early 2008 macbook), I had to find a decent development environment. My solution(?) is install ubuntu on SSD.
I bought Samsung SSD 840 evo 120 gb (90 000 wons – 65 euros). Since my mac supports SATA1, I cannot get the full benefit of using SSD but still I try. YOU NEED A “GUIDE” TO INSTALL THE SSD ON THE MAC.
This is a guide
Installing SSD and ubuntu is super easy.
Java and eclipse ADT installation
summary:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default java -version <== This checks your installed java about:plugins <== Type this at the address bar in a browser sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 lib32z1-dev <== You need this to install 32 bit libraries for ADT
Go here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html and install Eclipse ADT. I’ve installed Eclipse and SDK separately and that tends to cause problems from time to time.
Move the extracted files to “~/AndroidTools” and from here read: http://askubuntu.com/questions/318246/complete-installation-guide-for-android-sdk-adt-bundle-on-ubuntu
summary:
cd ~/AndroidTools/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140624/sdk/tools ./android <== This will run Android SDK manage
Now you have to edit “.bashrc” file
gedit ~/.bashrc
## Add the following two to the top of the text file.
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
I don’t use AVD because it’s really slow, instead I use genymotion. It’s way faster than AVD. For installation read this.
summary:
chmod +x genymotion-2.0.0_x64.bin ./genymotion-2.0.0_x64.bin mv genymotion ~/.genymotion echo 'export PATH="/home/$USER/.genymotion:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
Also download Eclipse Genymotion plugin.
If you’d like to optimize Eclipse, read this, or summary:
modify your entire ecliplse.ini(it’s in the eclipse directory) file as:
-Xverify:none
-XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:-UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:PermSize=64M
-XX:MaxPermSize=512M
-XX:MaxNewSize=512M
-XX:NewSize=128M
-Xms512m
-Xmx5122m
Korean Language Issue
read this or summary: Go to “system manager” -> “text entry” -> and then add Korea(Hangul).
sudo apt-get install dconf-editor dconf-editor ## This will run dconf-editor
On the left menu tree: org > gnome > desktop > wm > keybindings.
at “switch-input-source”, modify [‘<Control>space’] as [‘Hangul’].
Now you can switch between English and Korea by <Control> + <Space>.
WARNING – dconf-editor only works on Ubuntu 14.04
