Setting $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT on fish shell from bash shell equivalence

I'm trying to set $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT for fish shell in config.fish, I previously had the configuration set on my previous linux installation which used bash as follows:

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/Library/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools

But now I want to set it for my new Garuda Linux installation which uses Fish shell. The above configuration does not work. I tried the following configuration and I'm not sure if it's correct:

set -x ANDROID_SDK_ROOT $home/Android/Sdk
set -x PATH $PATH $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator
set -x PATH $PATH $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools
Solution

  • You don't want to set PATH $PATH /some/dir -- that will add /some/dir again, regardless if it's already in there.

    Also, $HOME/Library/Android/Sdk not $home/Android/Sdk -- this is probably the source of "does not work".

    You want

    set -x ANDROID_SDK_ROOT $HOME/Library/Android/Sdk
fish_add_path  $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator  $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools
