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.

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.
When I'm trying to install Android ADT in Eclipse it gives errors.Plese some one help me to resolve this issue.I had been stick here for a long time.
this is the shown error.
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
Software being installed: Android Traceview 23.0.7.2120684 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.feature.group 23.0.7.2120684)
You should be using Android Studio as Eclipse is no longer supported by Google for Android development. This link will provide you with all you need to get started with Android development using Android Studio. The UI is similar but this is now the official IDE for Android development.
Android Studio
But if you must use Eclipse
You should remove old adt before install new one.

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.
Can anyone here please provide me with the proper link for Android SDK and Installation of SDK for Eclipse Mars, I have searched a lot, but I didn't find anything other than Android Studio,
I am using eclipse because android studio is not working on my laptop, its very heavy and my laptop takes more time to open and run the program,
so If any one has the better knowledge for downloading and installation, then please provide me here..
and What I am trying to looking at Android developer website, they changed it for only Android Studio. Whenever I open any old link, it is redirecting me to Android Studio, is It true?? Please provide me with some more detail about it.
Thank you
You can download eclipse ADT plugin from here (note that it is not the latest).
Also, there is one more helpful link for getting latest available releases for eclipse (ADT 23.0.7 since August 2015).
By the way, at least for me is very confusing that Android Studio working worse than eclipse. I found that Android Studio is far better than eclipse (but that is only my personal opinion).
Anyway, that is more important: Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android and migration to it is recommended. Eclipse is not supported anymore.
How about you download Eclipse Neon with the Andmore project?
While Eclipse is not officially supported by Google, this project has forked the Android ADT plugin and is being maintained on the side.
I have installed
- Android SDK Manager,
- Android Virtual Device Manager
but in my eclipse -> Windows[ I am not getting SDK Manager options ] is there any settings to enable it.
please tell me.
First, please notice that:
Important: 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. For more
information on transitioning to Android Studio, see Migrating from
Eclipse ADT.
