How to Make Android's Aapt and Adb Work on 64-Bit Ubuntu Without Ia32-Libs (Works for Versions 12, 13 and 14)

How to make Android's aapt and adb work on 64-bit Ubuntu without ia32-libs (works for versions 12, 13 and 14)

While dpkg --add-architecture i386 command is not needed in the current version of Ubuntu (13.10), it is required in the current Debian versions (7.x) and it will be required in the future Ubuntu versions as well. So I am going to leave it in. Just ignore it for Ubuntu 13.10.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get -qqy update
sudo apt-get -qqy install libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386

Update: aapt indeed requires zlib so I added it to the list. But you should not be needing any lib32 packages.

Android adb is not found on Linux - also ia32-libs cannot be install to make it work

try using :

apt-get install ia32-libs

if that doesn't works refer to
this post

ADB not responding. If you'd like to retry, then please manually kill adb and click 'Restart' in Ubuntu

This worked for me in (Ubuntu 14.04):

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32z1-dev lib32stdc++6

Android studio cannot find aapt

Aapt is a 32bit application. I am running ubuntu 64bit. I needed some additional libraries. First thing I did was update to 13.04 from 12.10. It broke chrome but this should help.

To get aapt working (this fixed my issues with the avd as well) just run these two commands:

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
sudo apt-get install lib32z1

From this post.

Now no more problems.

Android/Eclipse Installation on Ubuntu 11.04 - aapt and adb not working properly

Are you sure you followed this guide completely? Do you have ia32-libs installed?
Try this:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Ubuntu 64 with Android 64 Bundle cannot find adb executable

On Debian 7 I bumped in the same issue.

Diagnosis:

edb@lapelidb:~/today$ ldd /opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130729/sdk/platform-tools/adb
    not a dynamic executable
edb@lapelidb:~/today$ file  /opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130729/sdk/platform-tools/adb
/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130729/sdk/platform-tools/adb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, not stripped

Solution: Adding support for 32-bit support and the required 32-bit libraries:

edb@lapelidb:~/today$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
edb@lapelidb:~/today$ sudo apt-get update 
edb@lapelidb:~/today$ sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386

Et voila:

edb@lapelidb:~/today$ ldd /opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130729/sdk/platform-tools/adb
    linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf772a000)
