Set ANDROID_HOME environment variable in mac

Question

I am new in developing native app using Salesforce SDK. I tried to create android project from command line using forcedroid tool but there is problem in setting environment

Answer 1

Open the terminal and type :

export ANDROID_HOME=/Applications/ADT/sdk

Add this to the PATH environment variable

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

If the terminal doesn't locate the added path(s) from the .bash_profile, please run this command

source ~/.bash_profile

Hope it works to you!

Answer 2

If you are setting up the ANDROID_HOME environment on MacOS Catalina , .bash_profile is no longer apple's default shell and it won't persist your path variables. Use .zprofile instead and follow the environment setup instructions in react-native documentation or others. .bash_profile will keep creating new file which won't make the path permanent or persist on closing the terminal on your system path.

Modified as it's providing answer to the frustration of setting up android_home environment on MacOS.

Answer 3

Based on Abraham Mayowa Oluwasina answer provided above is the correct one. MacOS Catalina, .bash_profile is no longer apple's default shell and it won't persist your path variables instead use .zprofile instead.

In root directory,

touch .zprofile
open -e .zprofile

Add the following in file,

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Save and exit

To activate

source ~/. zprofile

echo $ANDROID_HOME
