Android Studio 2.0 on Ubuntu 16.04
Refer to the last post "Error in installing Android Studio on Ubuntu 16.04 using umake", when I install Android Studio on Ubuntu 16.04 using umake, error message show "ERROR: A default framework for category Android was requested where there is none".

Android studio and the sdk changed the download pages significantly.
They've been fixed in master, and will be working again in the next release.

If you need you can clone the repository and install from that.
It's less than ideal, but if it can help you for the time being.

git clone https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-make
cd ubuntu-make
bin/umake android

Onced installed. openjdk version "1.8.0_03-Ubuntu" will also be installed.

Another approach is to add the ppa to get the latest version.
It's updated frequently as it's easier to upload a version to a ppa.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install ubuntu-make

To install Android Studio IDE 1.0.1 on Ubuntu, visit https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html, download Android Studio for Linux.


Follow the steps in https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=studio to set up Android Studio on Linux.
  1. Unpack the downloaded ZIP file into an appropriate location for your applications.
  2. To launch Android Studio, navigate to the android-studio/bin/ directory in a terminal and execute studio.sh.
    You may want to add android-studio/bin/ to your PATH environmental variable so that you can start Android Studio from any directory.
  3. Follow the setup wizard to install any necessary SDK tools.
about JAVA_HOME:
Before run Android Studio, you have to set JAVA_HOME on your system, point to JDK. Otherwise, will have error of "'tools.jar' seems to be not in Android Studio classpath. Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE."


To setup JAVA_HOME on Linux, refer last post "Setup JAVA_HOME and path to JDK on Linux".
