It seems the java compiler you have installed is 1.5.0_19 and android needs 1.6 so what you need to do is:

1- Open the "Synaptic Package Manager" from the "Administration" sub-menu of the "System" menu.
2 - Enter your password when prompted.
3 -Type "java6" in the "Quick Search" box.
4-Click on "Mark for Installation" next to "sun-java6-jdk."
5-Click on "Apply" in the main toolbar.
