I have altered my ~/.profile file by adding the following:
PATH="/user/share/android-sdk-linux/tools:$PATH"
I then log off and log in again, but the path is not added to the $PATH environment variable. I am checking in terminal:
echo $PATH
/usr/share/android-sdk-linux/tools:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_17/bin
Please advise
Edit
I have even tried:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/android-sdk-linux/tools
EXPORT PATH
No luck here either.

~/.profile:
# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.
# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022
# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
fi
fi
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
# set path to android
# PATH = $PATH:/usr/share/android-sdk-linux/tools
# EXPORT PATH
PATH="/usr/share/android-sdk-linux/tools:$PATH"
Adding to ~/.bachrc or /etc/environment:
PATH="/usr/share/android-sdk-linux/tools:$PATH"
works, but why not ~/.profile?
android-tools-adb
andandroid-tools-fastboot
directly from Software Center to get adb and fastboot. It doesn't exactly answer your question, but since I recognized what you were doing I figured I'd leave a comment.
