Answer 1

Sometimes even after you add your android_sdk/ dir path from command line it still doesn't work and gives the command not found error, in that case follow these steps. I ran through this issue myself and i tried all the above steps and none worked so i thought i should share and perhaps that might help somebody.
( android-sdk-linux is the name of android sdk library which you have extracted ).

1) Open the bashrc file from command line

gedit ~/.bashrc

2) Add following lines at the top.

export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

3) Log out of the system and log back in. Type Ctrl + Alt + T to open command line and type android to launch the software.
