Android: updating SDK from command line

You may want to create a script "Update Android SDK.bash" that quickly gets you up to speed without starting IDE (e.g. Eclipse) UI.

echo 'Android SDK home ' $ANDROID_HOME
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/android update sdk --no-ui --all --force 



Notice that it will ask you several times to click letter 'y'
Do you accept the license 'android-sdk-license-bcbbd656' [y/n]: y

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
