I am using Eclipse ADT and I'm attempting to find the latest Google Play Services library Google Play Services Library Revision
31, but this library does not appear on the Eclipse SDK folder; where can I find this library to download manually?
Maybe the problem is in using Eclipse. Are you aware that Eclicpse is no longer officially supported for Android Development. Using Eclipse may be preventing you to quickly creating apps and finding the necessary resources to build a project.
To migrate to the Android Studio from Eclipse just follow this tutorial from Google developers.
For your problem regarding the library that does not appear on eclipse sdk folder, try the solution in this SO question.
You will find them in <sdk>/extras/google/m2repository/com/google/android/gms, if you also updated Google Repository through the SDK Manager.
The individual libraries are in aar format, so you'll have to extract the jar yourself

I have always coded android apps using eclipse as opposed to android studio simply because i find it faster than android studio. However because google has deprecated eclipse as the official IDE for android.They also stopped developing android developer tools (ADT) plugin.
For purposes of the layout renderer in eclipse, I need to know what was the last version of Android Developer Tools plugin for eclipse to be ever released by google before it was deprecated?
The last version of ADT tools should be ADT-23.0.7.
I've never managed to find something newer than that.
In the official annoucement it states:
Android tools inside Eclipse will continue to live on in the open source community via the Eclipse Foundation. Check out the latest Eclipse Andmore project if you are interested in contributing or learning more.
How can I solve this problem shown in the image?
../tools/lib/proguard.cfg (System can not find the file specified)
The reason why you're getting that problem is because newer versions of the Android SDK no longer have a ProGuard configuration file and instead rely on the Android Gradle plugin (Android Studio) to provide the relevant ProGuard configuration.
Google has officially dropped support for the Eclipse-based Android Development Tools (ADT) plugin, as mentioned in their official announcement:
The Eclipse ADT plugin is no longer supported per our announcement. Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android, so you should migrate your projects to Android Studio as soon as possible. For more information on transitioning to Android Studio, see Migrate to Android Studio from Eclipse.
In order to be able to create new Android projects, you should migrate to Android studio using the migration steps that Google provided.
I am not able to find Android Support Library and google play services packages in sdk manager
Android Studio uses neither of those. Android Studio uses the Android Support Repository and the Google Repository. You have both of those installed. There is nothing more that you need to do, from the standpoint of the SDK Manager, to be able to use the support libraries and the Play Services SDK.
Eclipse provides a single click and download for the support library for an android project, and it adds it to the libs/ folder as "android-support-v4.jar"
The above jar has no reference to revision number (currently r10), so surely (unless I use maven) how are other people keeping up to date with the support library revisions?
I agree with #yorkw, the SDK manager tells you which version is currently installed. Also, using the android tools -> add support library will in-fact install a newer version if available, you will see that later in the SDK manager.
If what you are asking is how you know a new version is available so you can update? than the answer is definitely SDK manager, as yorkw said.
I'm configuring a new machine for Android development and moving my current project over. I did a fresh install of all the Android tools and SDKs, and under "build targets", the Google APIs' target supports Android 2.2.
Of course I need 1.5 as the base build target. My project doesn't build when I select that because the Google Maps stuff from maps.jar isn't there. In fact, after I did my full install I can't find maps.jar anywhere on my new machine. Is this jar file still required for Google Maps integration, or is it history? I'm using Eclipse 3.5.
I guess I'd presume there would be a "google apis" for Android 1.5 build target. I'm thinking my install must be hosed; but maybe it's my understanding.. :)
Yes. 1.5 is available.
When you open SDK Setup.exe it lists down 1.5, 1.6, 2.1 with 2.2.
While in Eclipse you might need to set target explicitly.
