Canonical is looking for ways to reach Android developers and become their development platform of choice.
In this context, it has implemented a simple way for developers to obtain the latest version of Android Studio (beta) and the Android SDK, with all the required dependencies.
Canonical is developing its own mobile operating system, which is set to officially launch on a handful of devices this fall. Any mobile operating system should come with a generous app store, but the company is having a hard time convincing users to use or develop apps that will run on the new operating system.
One of the best ways to achieve this is to try to make the Ubuntu Desktop OS as developer-friendly as possible, including those developing Android apps, by providing the necessary tools and open source solutions to facilitate the development process.
In this context, the company created the Ubuntu Developer Tools Center, which is a command-line tool that allows users to download the latest version of Android Studio (beta) and the latest Android SDK.
