/tmp directory in Linux Android SDK

Question

Just to tinker with it, last night I installed the Android Studio/SDK, and both during install and use, it repeatedly blew my 2Gb /tmp partition. Is there any way to tell t

Answer 1

Setting -Djava.io.tmpdir=whatever didn't work for me. I simply created $HOME/tmp/PackageOperation04 and then created a symlink from /tmp.

cd ~
mkdir -p tmp/PackageOperation04
cd /tmp
ln -s $HOME/tmp/PackageOperation04

This way the Android SDK uses my /home partition instead of /tmp for this.
