Thread: Bash PATH problem?

ok, i've newly installed 64bit ubuntu, , i've downloaded android sdk.

managed run "android command first time round whereby downloaded android versions 2.3+

clever , did through terminal, going in android sdk directory, , tools (for me cd /android/tools)

, typed android, , gui came up..... good.

decided needed add directory path, did jiggery pokery here, not much, cant did, now, when try run android command, correct directory following:

code:

dan@dan-hp-pavilion-dm1-notebook-pc:~/android/tools$ dir  adb_has_moved.txt  dmtracedump	    hprof-conv	  notice.txt	     zipalign  android		   draw9patch	    layoutopt	  proguard  ant		   emulator	    lib		  source.properties  apkbuilder	   etc1tool	    mksdcard	  sqlite3  ddms		   hierarchyviewer  monkeyrunner  traceview  dan@dan-hp-pavilion-dm1-notebook-pc:~/android/tools$ android  android: command not found

i know must down kind of path error, i'm lost how correct it. i've googled over, every explanation seems geared towards more linux knowledge mine. please may explain how fix this?

if in directory binary, run type

code:

./android

else can add path ~/.bashrc file if want, i.e.

code:

gedit ~/.bashrc

add

code:

path="/my/path:$path"

then restart terminals
