I installed jdk using the following command: sudo apt-get install default-jdk but it is the wrong version. I need Java SE 1.6 for building Android. When I try building Android, I get a message: Checking build tools versions...
You are attempting to build with the incorrect version of java.
Your version is: java version "1.6.0_24". The correct version is: Java SE 1.6.
Please follow the machine setup instructions at https://source.android.com/source/download.html
How can I uninstall Java version "1.6.0_24" and install Java SE 1.6? I have alien installed so I can install .rpm packages.
