Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install google-android-sdk-docs-installer on Ubuntu 20.04.
What is google-android-sdk-docs-installer
google-android-sdk-docs-installer is:
This package will download the Android SDK Documentation from Google and
create a Debian package. This package also aims to strip out all calls to
the networking, including tracking services like Google Analytics and
Doubleclick. These documentation files still require the Google “jsapi”,
which is only available by fetching it each time from
http://www.google.com/jsapi. This package forces it to use https://, but
otherwise, these docs have to phone home in order for any of the javascript
to work.
WARNING: Installing this Debian package causes docs-24_r01.zip to be
downloaded from https://dl.google.com and/or from other suggested
mirrors. Also, since Google is often blocked in China, the install
process will try again on Chinese mirrors if the Google central
download repo is not available. Since the zipball is checked against
the embedded SHA1 checksum, the install will fail if the mirror
contains a corrupted version.
The End User License Agreement of this binary package is available here:

The code in the documentation is licensed under the Apache 2.0, and
the content is licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY 2.5. The CC-BY
2.5 license is non-free but can be legally distributed by Debian.
This package avoids the issue all together since each user directly
downloads the files from Google, and must agree to Google’s license.
