apkbuilder has been deprecated for a very long time. There is no new command to replace it. I'll have to see if we can put it back but as we are moving away from Ant to Gradle, we may not be able to keep this. Note that the only thing that this does is packaging files together in a zip file (with .apk extension). You could do it all manually.

Yes I saw the reply to yourself however the posts on Google+ mentioned that the Oracle version needed to be installed. Also the Android developer site has been ambivalent about upgrading Ubuntu probably due to Unity. I have looked at other versions.

Regarding the sources on eclipse, there's a plugin for that: [link]

Intel seems to have finally got hold of the bigger fish – Samsung. As per the latest benchmark results that have surfaced in GFXbench database, Samsung is using the Intel Atom Z2560 Clover Trail+ dual-core processor in its new 10-inch tablet. Carrying the model number GT-P5200, the tablet has been code-named Santos, the same codename that we had heard in the past associated with Samsung’s rumoured 10-inch tablet. The benchmark listing also reveals the processor will be clocked at 1.6GHz and will come with PowerVR SGX 544 MP2 GPU. Other features of the tablet will include 10.1-inch WXGA (1280×800) display and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Apart from the GT-P5200 listing, a benchmark listing for GT-P5210 has also been spotted, which is going to be the Wi-Fi only version of the tablet. Other details were not confirmed in these benchmark listings but a previous report had suggested that this tablet will come with 5MP rear camera and 16/ 32GB of internal storage. Apart from the obvious tablet details leak, the presence of an Intel Atom processor in Samsung’s Android tablet is the more important news here. Intel has been struggling to get bigger manufacturers use its silicon in their Android products, however we recently saw Asus use Atom processor in Fonepad and now Samsung – seems like Intel’s smartphone/ tablet dream might finally come true.

Hello! I am a research student working on Android Security. I have been reading some research papers related to android malwares and all the research papers mention that most of the malware is developed by "repackaging" a benign binary.

I'm not sure you saw my reply to myself.. but I did get it working on Ubuntu 12.10. I didn't realize that I didn't have OpenJDK installed. I had thought I did because the JRE package name had the letters "JDK" (OpenJDK). Once I installed the actual OpenJDK from the repos, Android Studio installed and worked, despite the warning message about using the OpenJDK
