Changing android SDK updates to another directory?

[j.smith1981]

I am just asking a general questions I have been having a play around with Java to see what I can do with it, with an ultimate aim to develop Android and maybe even iPhone apps (though not sure what language iPhone apps need to be in of course!)

 

I will get to iPhone apps later though but that's only when I have compared the 2, so I can understand both.

 

Anyways enough of the background waffle, I wanted to download the platforms for android from their SDK, all the Java stuff anyways, when I run the command in shell which is:

tools/android update sdk --no-ui

 

This was from the guide in the 'SDK Readme.txt' file in the root directory of the downloads from the SDK developers guide website I think but I can't remember.

 

Does the directory I am installing it to not so much stay permenant, but if I say moved it from directory x to directory y, do I have to change anything other than just issuing the command mv /x and then move that to directory y, do I have to amend any of the configs for java or any paths or anything like that?

 

Point being I ran the update in /home/myuser/android_sdk just as a good example, do I have to change this in any configs anywhere if I moved it to say a libs folder or something?

 

Just out of curiosity of course, just wanted to see what I could do with the APIs for android platforms.

 

Thank you in advance for any replies,

Jeremy
