You have to open that file with a text editor and then save it.
touch ~/.bash_profile; open ~/.bash_profile
It will open the file with TextEdit, paste your things and then save it. If you open it again you’ll find your edits.
You can use other editors:
nano ~/.bash_profile mate ~/.bash_profile vim ~/.bash_profile
But if you don’t know how to use them, it’s easier to use the open approach.
Alternatively, you can rely on pbpaste. Copy
export ANDROID_HOME=/<installation location>/android-sdk-macosx
export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
in the system clipboard and then in a shell run
pbpaste > ~/.bash_profile
Or alternatively you can also use cat
cat > ~/.bash_profile
(now cat waits for input: paste the two export definitions and then hit Ctrl + D).
