If you are on Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty), and you literally just need the SDK (no Android Studio), you can install it like on Debian:

• sudo apt install android-sdk android-sdk-platform-23
• export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/lib/android-sdk
• In build.gradle, change compileSdkVersion to 23 and buildToolsVersion to 24.0.0
• run gradle build
