I have recently started working on android SDK and it is the future I say. Android is here to stay for long.  I use eclipse for development and android sdk fits just fine with ADT plugin for Eclipse. But some of us must have faced a error that says “Cannot connect to keystore” while installing the android sdk with eclipse’s install new software feature. The google android page also says this will occur if you are using linux. And yes I do use linux – ubuntu 9.04. The android page says to install the latest Java VM and it should work fine, yes that is true but your sun-java is the latest and you don’t have updates. This might be quite a problem. No worries. hit the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre sun-java6-jdk
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Note: update with the latest java version
This should work with other flavor of linux too. Try with appropriate package manager.

Now try installing the android sdk again. It should work. Happy androiding..
