Eclipse Kepler for linux - android

So I have numerous distros of eclipse and enjoy linuxmint but can not seem to get the ADT or Sdk for android to register.I do not use home internet as my phone covers most needs so I am hoping for some offline downloads that may assist me with this problem. My sdk is located in my home dir under its own folder as is the Adt.Do i have to code something in linux?

How to completely delete/uninstall eclipse

I tried downloading and installing eclipse because I want to explore android programming. I tried downloading and installing all the tools in the android device manager without thinking about how much space it can use. The downloads used 14 gb in my disk and I'm already regretting it. I tried deleting all my eclipse file but it still uses the same amount on my disk. Is there anything I can do to completely remove all eclipse files in my computer?
normally eclipse works like a portable software. You can only install Plugins inside it, which will be saved in the plugin folder. So in my opinion you have to search manually where it is on your space and after this you better download right here: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
normally it must be done if you just delete the eclipse folder ...
You have to remove the android installation with all its packages : documentations, sdk, ecc... you can find them into the android folder,
C:\Program Files\Android in Windows
or open the Android SDK manager and remove every installed package.

Unable to Download Packages via Android SDK Manager

I have recently installed Android SDK on my computer running Windows 7 x64.
I then installed the Eclipse ADT plugin. I am running Eclipse Juno JEE.
When I attempt to run the SDK Manager through Eclipse, I receive the following errors:
Nothing I have tried has allowed me to download/install/update Android SDK and its packages.
I have tried https and forcing http
I have tried running calling program as administrator.
I have added Eclipse, SDK Manager to Firewall exceptions.
I have turned off my antivirus.
I have turned off my firewall.
I have tried various combinations of the above.
I can navigate my browser to both URLs (using Firefox). That should negate "Failed to read..." options 1 and 2. Option 3 seems to be the likely candidate as the XML files do not, in fact, include the <'xsd:schema'> tag. However, I don't know how, if, or where I might be able to point SDK Manager to a local, modified copy of these XML files, or if that would even solve anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I have installed Android SDK/ Eclipse ADT Plugin on the same machine in the past. This is a fresh install after a recent reimage.
I am not sure if this answer's your question exactly to the point but yet I hope this helps you.
As u wrote it looks like you have downloaded eclipse from its website and android sdk separately from Android website. Why don't you download the Android SDK ADT package with pre-eclipse setup.
That will make your job way lot easier.
The file name would be something like this:
adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729.zip

Can't launch eclipse from adt bundle in ubuntu 12.04

So I downloaded the adt bundle for linux from developer.android.com extracted it, 32bit version, went to adt-bundle-linux-x86/eclipse tried to launch eclipse but it's giving me an error
Could not display "/media/ACF3-BA90/adt-bundle-linux-x86/eclipse/eclipse".
There is no application installed for executable files. Do you want to search... blabla..
I'm pretty much new to linux and ubuntu... so can someone please help me fix this? :P
EDIT: The problem was caused because I had it extracted on removable media and Allow executing file as program (Properties -> Permissions) still didn't fix the problem, so I had to transfer it to my (static) Linux partition. That fixed the problem.
I came across the same problem these days when i attempted to write cocos2d-x games with adt-bundle-linux. Now I finally fix that after googling around for hours.
It turns out that this has nothing to do with adt-bundle-linux. The truth is that linux security settings result in such situations. It disables any executable file from other sources (in this case, it comes from the Internet and linux regards it as dangerous and unreliable files).
Simply right click the eclipse and choose "properties", then go to the "Permission" tab and check "Allow executing file as program".
Hope this will help you.^_^
It seems you have installed to some sort of removable media and therefore your install could have bad references for eclipse's files.
I would recommend you install Eclipse from Ubuntu's Software Manager and install the SDK from Eclipse's Plugin Manager.
Here's the tutorial for the SDK:

installing android offline is hard[obsolete]

i am a student in africa and in our land, there actually exist slow and expensive internet connections, which is why we tremble in fear whenever we hear the word "online repository" method of installing software. Damn, that usually means you have to look elsewhere.
The problem.(i cant install android without connecting eclipse to the internet)
It is possible to manually download individual components as .zip files but there is no way of installing them into android eg i have managed to download
platform-tools_r03-windowsandroid-sdk_r10-windowsetcbut no matter what i do, i can't get android to recognise them as components. It seems tens of thousands of other developers have a similar problem (see below)
This qn has 10k views(meaning 10k people had a similar problem)
another lost developer
webpage sudgesting solution that failed to work on windows seven ultimate
If someone has actually ever installed android without connecting eclipse to the internet, please let us know the magic you used. Thanks in advance :)
EDIT:
if someone out there is still interested check out http://qdevarena.blogspot.com/2010/05/download-android-sdk-standalone-for.html
and make sure your folder structure is as shown in http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
For SDK and platform tools you can just extract the zip content, Eclipse has nothing to do here.
For Eclipse ADT plugin:
Download the zip file from http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-10.0.1.zip
Help -> Install New Software -> Add
Select Archive and then provide the location of the zip file
These steps are clearly explained in Eclipse ADT documentation.
Only in Windows
Install (if not installed) Oracle JDK jdk-7-windows-i586.exe
install Eclipse SDK
Add to the PATH environment variable the path to the JDK (for example c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin)
Edit the file hosts (c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts), add the entry "127.0.0.1 dl-ssl.google.com"
It's important! Port 80 must be free at the time of installation Android SDK
Run the Abyss Web Server X1 (abyssws.exe). Works best if you download a fresh copy
Run the Android SDK "SDK Manager.exe" installer
In the "Android SDK Mannager" in the menu "Tools" >> "Options" put the check ("force https:// ... sources to be fetched using http:// ...")
Android SDK Manager will fetch packages in your computer. Choose the packages for API you want to program against, select and install packages
After installation the file hosts (c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) entry "127.0.0.1 dl-ssl.google.com" you entered in step 3
Good Luck!! and remember to update to lastest APIs and revision
You can download Eclipse ADT and install
IN Eclipse: Click Help tab and Install New Software tab
Click add button
In Add Repository Window, add in Name Field Eclipse ADT and Location field click archive to browse in local machine where you downloaded ADT
Press Ok and tick all, Eclipse will install the less
The answer by dtmilano is not valid for the current version of android SDK. (androdi 4.2.2)
The android website says that after the unzipping of the ADT:
Your Eclipse IDE is now set up to develop Android apps, but you need to add the latest SDK platform tools and an Android platform to your environment. To get these packages for your SDK, continue to Adding Platforms and Packages.

Installing android SDK in eclipse offline
I'M a Ghanaian..I did it about a week ago on ubuntu it might work on windows
your question indicates that you have eclipse installed..so i will just move on to setting it up to run android apps ...
step 1: go to developer.android.com to download the sdk for windows(i recomend you download the one with the installer).
step 2: launch ur favourite browser and open this site.
you will see an xml page using ctr+f (any shortcut for finding a text on your browser) type andoroid 2.2 or any android version you like latest is kitkat 4.4...you will find ur prefered android version in zip file for ur OS i.e windows...just copy the text and append it to this address.
this will download the the platform for you in .zip format....just navigate to where you extracted ur sdk and go to platform folder and then create a new folder with any name and then extract the platfor you downloaded earlier i.e android version into the new folder you created...just launch the sdk.exe and it will auto detect your platform for you...
just go and creae your Android virtual device and start running your apps..

Android ADT Plugin doesn't show up in Eclipse

I'm using Windows 7 and installed the 64 bit version of Eclipse 3.5.2. I then installed the Android ADT plugin, but when I try to configure it in the Windows > Preferences dialog, the Android Plugin doesn't show up in the left pane. Instead I see DDMS. This prevents me from specifying the location of the Android SDK (unless there is another way) to give me the appropriate templates and such.
Someone posted a fix to this that includes setting the permissions of Eclipse, but that didn't work for me. I tried installing the Android Plugin from both online installation (thru the URL install) and the offline Archive method.
If you're running Windows Vista or 7, make sure you right-click Eclipse and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. I literally spent six hours figuring this out, and this was what fixed it.
Dear people from the future:
I had roughly the same problem in linux, except that i didn't see anything at all but vanilla eclipse after installing. by combining both previous answers i got it to work:
start eclipse with sudo eclipse -clean, install the plugins and restart eclipse. the plugins showed up including the welcome screen that's supposed to be there.
after that it should work when running as regular user as well.
works for both the android sdk and the gwt sdk. (and probably other eclipse plugins)
Remove the plugin, then restart as follows:
eclipse -clean
Now try reinstalling the ADT from the online installation
For users having similar problem and not luck with other solutions:
I have windows XP but had same problem. I realized that I had JDK5/bin folder in my PATH environment variable (though my JDK_HOME was pointing to JDK6), as soon as I modified the PATH to replace bin of JDK5 with JDK6, the Android buttons on eclipse (after restart with -clean) along with Android option in Preferences & New Project showed up. (Weird eh!)
Also, consider to install the bundle android installation having eclipse with pre-configured Android SDK if a new eclipse installation doesn't matter to you
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/bundle.html
The above answers do not confront the heart of the problem. There is a feature in Windows 7 that prevents downloaded files from direct access of local files. All of the state is perfectly maintained in the Eclipse workspace instance. The problem is easily resolved by doing the following:
Find the "Eclipse" executable
Right-click on it.
Click "Properties".
Select the "General" tab.
Look for -> Security: "This file came from another computer and might be blocked..."
Click Unblock.
This is a much better solution than uninstalling and reinstalling the ADT or Eclipse which can be a pain.
