I'm having trouble choosing version of Eclipse for Android development. I downloaded Eclipse Mars 1, and it does not show ANDROID NEW so I have to know now what I download.
I have read a few sites online and they said that you go to File > new > Project > Android.
I'm using Eclipse mars 1 just to know.
I did not have that so that is why I need to know what I need to use and I do not want to use Android Studio. Is it just Eclipse that I need or a plugin also that is needed. So which version of Eclipse should I use?
Eclipse require ADT plugin to support Android development.
ADT 23.0.7 (August 2015) requires Eclipse Indigo (Version 3.7.2) or higher is required.
But the ADT plugins are no longer supported by Google.
Support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse has ended, per our announcement. You should migrate your app development projects to Android Studio as soon as possible.
So it's recommended to download Android Studios for Android development.
To code Android applications in Eclipse you need to install the Android ADT to the Eclipse you use ( In your case it is Mars) it is done through Help -> Install New Software, then in combo add "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ " then select the "Developer Tools" and hit "Next" and then "Finish".
Then restart Eclipse and perform File > new > Project > Android, you will find it. For more info refer this site But I recommend you to shift to Android Studio as it the Official Android Development IDE now
Try following the instructions in the link bellow.

I have figured out how to do it finally!!!
And i tried it twice
This is all you have to do download adt-bundle for windows max or what ever your using.
Inside there is a eclipse folder go in that and there you have eclipse.exe

NOTICE: I found other questions and answers about the same issue, but the answers are for older versions of Android Studio, and I want confirmation if it still can work for the latest version of Android Studio (2.2.3.0 which was released on December 6, 2016)
I'm new to the Android development and I selected the IDE to use wrongly and before thinking and knowing which IDE to use.
So after this mistake, I must use Android Studio now to use the GRADLE libraries as Eclipse doesn't officialy support them (because Eclipse is now discontinued).
The Android Studio is 1.63 GB (including the Android SDK), while Android Studio is 417 MB (without the Android SDK).
I have Android SDK Tools R25.2.3 ( latest ) already downloaded, so I don't want to download the whole Studio + The Android SDK again.
Is it possible to download the Android Studio without the SDK, then link the SDK to the Studio manually?
I'd be very thankful if someone could help!
Yes it is possible , Studio and SDK can been seen as separate components and they can be linked by providing SDK path in the studio IDE or you can configure you SDK path thorough the setting menu shown at the start screen of android studio.
You can download the standalone IDE through Official Android Studio site.
Note : http://tools.android.com/ has dropped the support of providing separate SDK and IDE components but still IDE can be downloaded individually from Android Official Download Link
Steps to configure after download
1.) Download and Extract the IDE
2.) Find studio or studio64 exe and run the appropriate one in your OS
3.) When you start your studio , it will probably ask for SDK location through a prompt screen and provide the location and hit next and next , eventually it will show you a little process for update window and show you finish screen (Must follow the note below)
3.a) If there was no prompt screen shown then you can configure the SDK path using the setting option on the Splash screen of android studio
3.b) It's possible that when you open an old studio project and SDKis still not configured because every project has it's own setting so again you can see the link in error/log window as configure SDK and just click the link and provide path
Note : Disable internet before configuring you studio otherwise it will look for Updates
Helpful points to possible issue
For old project , replace the old dependencies with the one you have in project structure link for Visual representation of steps
Replace the gradle version with the one supported by your new studio and do the same if any other tool is not found.
Definitely. The Android Studio IDE prompts you to specify the path containing the Android SDK tools, if it doesn't detect the SDK automatically.
I am trying to import an android project in Eclipse but when I go to File->Import->** Android ** there is no Android tab. Further I should click on Android->Existing Android Code.
Why don't I have an Android tab in Import?
Here is a screenshot:
you need to install the plugin for android in Eclipse
You need ADT plugin.

You should use Android Studio instead of Eclipse. Googe no longer supports Eclipse as a supported IDE for Android, and they suggest switching to Android Studio.
I'm trying to get Eclipse setup for Android and have done the following steps. I'm using the book "Android 101" and basically following the steps.
(1) Installed Java SDK
(2) Installed Eclipse
(3) Installed Android SDK
I start Eclipse and go to Window->Preferences and expect to see Android in the list. I'm supposed to select Android then point it to where I installed the Android SDK. The problem is that I'm not seeing Android in the list.
I did not have any trouble with the Java or Android installs, and I didn't see any option in the Eclipse install specific to Android.
I've searched on Stack Overflow and Googled, and am not finding anything.
From inside Eclipse select Help->Install New Software then click NEW.
Install ADT from https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
After that you point it to your Android SDK install location and the APIs all show up. Hit APPLY and OK, then ready to start working.
The best plan here is to follow the advice given on the Android Developers blog in June, 2015.
[…] we are ending development and official support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse at the end of the year. This specifically includes the Eclipse ADT plugin and Android Ant build system. If you have not had the chance to migrate your projects to Android Studio, now is the time.
I'm a long-time Eclipse user, and I recently fired up Android Studio for some brief Android testing. There was definitely a learning curve, but it wasn't insurmountable.
No "compile with" option when creating a new android application?
Software : Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: Indigo Service Release 2
Build id: 20120216-1857
This issue has been often occurred by Many People.
Solution is
Update ADT plugin and then SDK tools and after when you will try to create a new project, the error will not occur
Eclipse--> Help-->Install New Software-->What is already installed?
Then, Select "Android DDMS, Andoid Devlopment Tools,Android Hierarcy Viewer, Android native Development Tools, Android Traceview, Tracer for OpenGL ES" and click Uninstall.
After all this step, try Add link (https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/) and name is ADT Plugin. This link will get the latest ADT Plugin. In this way you reinstall the ADT.
Eclipse will restart and hopefully everything should work fine for you.
I am using Eclipse IDE to develop android apps. But I want to use Netbeans IDE for developing Android apps. Android SDK works fine with previous version of Netbeans IDE. But it can not added to Netbeans 7.0 using Android plugin. So, is it possible to run Android SDK using netbeans 7 ???
Any suggestion or tutorial will greatly appreciated.
After installing Android plugin, to locate Android SDK you have to go to Tools > Options > Misc > Android and select here the location of your SDK.
add the following XML file to your plug in -> setting
http://kenai.com/projects/nbandroid/downloads/download/updatecenter/updates.xml
then download the SDK
after that you can add your platform to SDK
