Answer 3

NOTE: while using adb on Linux you'll need to type ./adb to execute adb commands unless you create a path in ~/.bashrc. In a terminal write:

sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

Add the following line at the end of the file. Once you're done, save and exit.

Android tools

export PATH=~/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools:~/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/tools:$PATH

Then in a Terminal run this command to reload your .bashrc: Code:

source ~/.bashrc

Now you can just run adb without put ./ before every command.
