Recently developed a project on eclipse and was published. Yesterday I tried to create another project and it was not possible. I went up to the developers website to download the latest version, and found not download the ADT. I found just downloaded the Android Studio. Does anyone have any info on this?
Obs .: Question made with Google Translator help. Excuse me anything.
Yes, though Google may be extending support for Eclipse for a while longer, considering that:
Right after Android Studio 1.0 is released, Developer tools page has the following wording:
Caution: The ADT plugin for Eclipse is no longer in active
development. If you're currently using it, you should migrate to
Android Studio as soon as possible. For more details about Android
Studio, see the Android Studio guide.
And now the wording has been changed to:
Note: If you have been using Eclipse with ADT, be aware that Android
Studio is now the official IDE for Android, so you should migrate to
Android Studio to receive all the latest IDE updates. For help moving
projects, see Migrating to Android Studio.
Where they removed the statement "The ADT plugin for Eclipse is no longer in active development".
Regardless, developing Android using Eclipse is something that will become impossible some time down the road, so it's better to download Android Studio now and start migrating your Eclipse projects with the help of migration guide.
Yes, Android Studio is now out of beta and is the official IDE. The Eclipse plugin will no longer updated.

Visual Studio 2015 has integrated Android Emulator support. They even have a pre-made template to set up Windows Phone, Android, and iOS targets. It seems like there should be some way of setting up SDL 2.0 in the same solution to easily toggle between Android and Windows. I am really hoping for an existing template which includes SDL 2.0, or a tutorial on the subject.
Where am I at right now? I have a working code base which I've been maintaining in visual studio 2015 based on SDL 2.0, Quite some time back I ported it to Xcode on my mac manually and I was able to run in the emulator. I have not run on Android yet. The port in xcode has likely gone stale though as I've updated multiple libraries and it was three years ago.
My ideal answer to this question would result in a working Visual Studio 2015 project with SDL 2.0 configured for iOS, Android, and Windows. What I am looking for is a series of steps to create a template project that can be used as a starting point to get an OpenGL context initialized via SDL on Windows or the Android emulator.
This might be asking a lot, but I'm hoping someone has already done the work and can simply share it with the world here.

If I'm having a problem with Android Studio, and want to see if it exists in a previous version, where do I go to find the older (obsolete) version of Android Studio? There's no link to previous versions on the download page, only other download options, does not give older versions.
A good way to try something in another version of Android Studio is to make a second installation.
You can download previous versions through a third-party site from the following links (thanks Nikhil):
For Windows
For Mac
Unfortunately, I couldn't find archives for linux.
The official archive download site is here, but most if not all of the older version links are dead.
You may also want to download the IDE only and set it up to point to your existing SDK. To do this, in your new installation of Android Studio, go to
Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager
and under
Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK,
enter the android SDK location path of the other install.
Note on downloads:
If you know the version you want, a link like http://tools.android.com/download/studio/builds/2-1-3 will get you to a download page for 2.1.3 via the tools.android.com site, if you prefer.
EDIT :
Above site doesn't have older versions after V2.3. You can now download previous version from the following link :
Windows & Mac

The Android SDK Tools Only package includes the official Android emulator and lots of other useful things.
The source code of these tools is not so hard to find. But I'm looking for the source code for the NSIS installer source code which installs these tools on Windows machines.
Please note: I'm not looking for the Android Studio installer source code. Instead, I'm looking for the SDK Tools Only installer source code.
Is it even available anywhere on the Web?
I mentioned my request in an issue in the Android issue tracker. From what David Herman at Google wrote in reply, it looks like it's not available online. He wrote:
I'm not sure what the plans for the SDK installer are moving forward - it may get deprecated by the current installer, especially as we roll more and more functionality of the SDK into Android Studio. At the very least, I'll look into it and see if porting it over to AOSP is trivial or not.
For now, take a look at the BUNDLE_SDK define in the Android Studio installer. That tiny subset is likely similar to what the standalone SDK installer is doing anyway. (Basically, have a skeleton SDK somewhere on your computer and package it using NSIS).
Note that there were a lot of bug fixes and polish changes that went into our current installer, and I think the SDK installer is a fork of the old installer well before any of those changes went in. You may find more success taking the current installer and cutting out all scripting code related to the DIR_SRC define (which points to the source directory for getting a clean copy of Android Studio). This may even be a valid approach we take, moving forward, to obsolete the existing SDK installer (e.g. add a new BUNDLE_STUDIO define)

I'm starting to develop for Android. Which IDE should I use - Android Studio or Eclipse sdk?
I would like to know which one is better.
Working with Eclipse can be difficult at times, probably when debugging and designing layouts Eclipse sometimes get stuck and we have to restart Eclipse from time to time. Also you get problems with emulators.
Android studio was released very recently and this IDE is not yet heavily used by developers. Therefore, it may contain certain bugs.
This describes the difference between android android studio and eclipse project structure: Android Studio Project Structure (v.s. Eclipse Project Structure)
This teaches you how to use the android studio: http://www.infinum.co/the-capsized-eight/articles/android-studio-vs-eclipse-1-0
The use of IDE is your personal preference.
But personally if I had to choose, Eclipse is a widely known, trusted and certainly offers more features then Android Studio.
Android Studio is a little new right now. May be it's upcoming versions keep up to Eclipse level soon.
Both are equally good. With Android Studio you have ADT tools integrated, and with eclipse you need to integrate them manually. With Android Studio, it feels like a tool designed from the outset with Android development in mind.
Go ahead, they have same features.
From the Android Studio download page:
Caution: Android Studio is currently available as an early access preview. Several features are either incomplete or not yet implemented and you may encounter bugs. If you are not comfortable using an unfinished product, you may want to instead download (or continue to use) the ADT Bundle (Eclipse with the ADT Plugin).
My first choice is Android Studio. its has great feature to develop android application.
Eclipse is not that hard to learn also.If you're going to be learning Android development from the start, I can recommend Hello, Android, which I just finished. It shows you exactly how to use all the features of Eclipse that are useful for developing Android apps. There's also a brief section on getting set up to develop from the command line and from other IDEs.

I am currently using Eclipse 3.5.0 for Android development. But I just wanted to try Android development in some IDE other than Eclipse.
Firstly, am I going on the right track or is Android development possible only on Eclipse? Secondly, if there are options other than eclipse, what are they and in what way are they better or worse than Eclipse? How to install Android SDK on them? A tutorial for working with that IDE with be really helpful.
Stone
Android development possible only on
Eclipse?
No it is possible in other IDE also
IntroAndroidDevNetBeans
IntelliJ IDEA 10
But the way I understood, Eclipse is the Best, because it's plugin and updates are directly given in the android developer sites itself, ADT
Personally I prefer the IntelliJ. I was a big fan of Eclipse but when I started using IntelliJ (with some learning curve), I just love it ! The community edition now offers support for Android SDK. However, unfortunately there is no support for building UIs ! So, my solution for now is to configure IntelliJ projects with Android libraries, use Eclipse as a UI builder tool and then use those XML files in INtellJ. I know its a painful process but that is how I get the best of both worlds !
