     29 # setup PATH to use the installed software:
     30 export SDKROOT=$HOME/android/android-sdk-linux
     31 export PATH=$PATH:$SDKROOT/tools:$SDKROOT/platform-tools
     32 export NDKROOT=$HOME/android/android-ndk-r8
     33 
     34 # install android platforms you want by starting:
     35 android 
     36 # (from $SDKROOT/tools)
     37 
     38 # select the platforms you need
     39 # I selected and installed:
     40 #   Android 4.0.3 (API 15)
     41 # Upgraded then to the newer version available:
     42 #     Android sdk 20
     43 #     Android platform tools 12
     44 
     45 # then define a virtual device:
     46 Tools -> Manage AVDs...
     47 # I define an AVD Name with 64 Mb SD Card, (4.0.3, api 15)
     48 # rest is default
     49 
     50 
     51 # compile and make install Valgrind, following README.android
     52 
     53 
     54 # Start your android emulator (it takes some time).
     55 # You can use adb shell to get a shell on the device
     56 # and see it is working. Note that I usually get
     57 # one or two time out from adb shell before it works
     58 adb shell
     59 
     60 # Once the emulator is ready, push your Valgrind to the emulator:
     61 adb push Inst /
     62 
     63 
     64 # if you need to debug:
     65 # You have on the android side a gdbserver
     66 # on the device side:
     67 gdbserver :1234 your_exe
     68 
     69 # on the host side:
     70 adb forward tcp:1234 tcp:1234
