Android SDK with Eclipse on Ubuntu 14.04

Developer Tools
1

Hi, Im tryin to create my own Android-Programm connecting to my Core and my 5 Photons.

Some Problems i have already solved, so they may help others with Ubuntu 14.04:

  • in Ubuntu install Java8
  • Install Eclipse Mars from the Eclipse Website (not from Ubuntu repositories)
  • in Eclipse install Eclipse Android-Plugin
  • in Eclipse use Android SDK Manager to install latest Android SDK-Tools and Librarys
  • in Eclipse install Gradle Plugin for Eclipse
  • Install Gradle 2.6 from Gradle-Website (don´t use Gradle from Ubuntu Repositories. This is Version 1.7 and did not work)

But now my Problem:

In Eclipse there seems no SparkCloud included in Java, and gradle shows following Error:

> gradle dependencies 

Executing task ':dependencies' (up-to-date check took 0.028 secs) due to:
Task.upToDateWhen is false.

And true to this Statement ist that my Library from Android is indeed not
±-- com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.0 FAILED
but i only can get v 22.2.1 with Android SDK Manager today

I had to set

export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/android-studio/sdk

So i tried some more, and here is my gradle.build

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    jcenter()
  }
  dependencies {        
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.+'
  }
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  jcenter()
}
dependencies {
  compile group: 'commons-collections', name: 'commons-collections', version: '3.2'
  testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.+'
  compile 'io.particle:cloudsdk:0.1.3'
  compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar', exclude: 'android-support-*.jar')
}
android {
  compileSdkVersion 22
  buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
  packagingOptions {
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
  }
  sourceSets {
    main {
      manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
      res.srcDirs = ['res']
      assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
    }
   androidTest.setRoot('tests')
  }     
  lintOptions {
    abortOnError false
  }
}
