Android on 64-bit Fedora

Since I plan on getting heavily involved in Android, here are a number of wiki pages that lead the reader through various stages of getting the Android emulator running on 64-bit F12, and moving on to writing and running apps.

Since this is being done on a 64-bit system and Android is currently a 32-bit emulator, all of these steps will involve installing some 32-bit packages on your system. Sorry, there's no way to avoid that for the time being.

In addition, since we're starting from scratch, we'll jump right into working with Android 2.1. If you want to work with an earlier version, just make the appropriate tweaks to everything you read here.

I'm also going to list the different phases of playing with Android from simplest to most difficult and involved, so you might need to follow through in that order as it may be necessary to complete earlier steps before continuing.

Finally, since these pages will be in constant flux, feel free to send suggestions or corrections to rpjday@crashcourse.ca.

We know

We're aware of the time and budget pressures at most companies, normally accompanied by the plaintive cry from management of, "Yes, I know we need training on that topic, but I just can't afford to send my entire team away for three (or four or five) days to get it!" And that's where we come in.

Choices!

The main focus at Crashcourse is to offer a choice of intense, 1-day, hands-on courses on specific topics in Linux and open source. And given that we already have the laptops for the delivery of that training, the idea is to show up early, set up a classroom, then spend the day teaching exactly the topic you're interested in. No travel time, and no wasted classroom time.

Customization

If we don't already have a course that addresses the topic you're interested in, drop us a note and we'll see what we can do -- our content providers can almost certainly put together a course that's precisely what you're after.

The difference

While there are a variety of sources for Linux and open source training, we at Crashcourse are taking a slightly different approach. Our philosophy is simple: exactly the training you want, and no wasted time or travel to get it.
