I have Eclipse Juno IDE Service Release 2.
Basically, I don't know much about Android ADT,SDK,AVD, Tools, plugins and all.
SIC: I don't want to download full ADT again.
I want to install all the latest tools left for android for my Eclipse. I have done with the following (latest version downloaded today) :
And now, I want to add other plugins as well (please tell me what's left).
Also , I have downloaded and installed SDK Tools today (again, latest version).
Following are the files I downloaded and installed (SDK Tools) for latest version (exe file was of 88 MB or something)..
I am also unable to open SDK Manager from both Eclipse and Windows explorer. So, please don't suggest me to open SDK Manager and check this and this.
Thanks a lot in advance !!
no other way other than opening sdk manager.
SDK - Software Development Kit - It is a development kit particular for different platforms. They are needed to integrate java with that particual platform.
AVD - Android Virtual Device - An android phones inside your computer. Whenever u r building an app, rather than trying it everytime in your phone, u can use AVD. It opens Android OS.
1) u need to download buid-tools
2) AVD manager (if u dont already have it)
3) System Images - as mentioned above about AVD, it runs android OS inside your computer. So to run android, u need its system images (if u want to run android kitkat, u nedd system images for that version)

I bought a course at Udemy, but the version that the instructor uses is older than mine. Thus, I couldn't finish my installation successfully. In the version that he used, there were 3 boxes to check on the first opening. Android Studio, SDK, and virtual device. He checked all of them. But mine doesn't have SDK box at all.
I am totally new to the Android studio and using windows 10. How should I install the sdk?
Install Android Studio, and if you want to configure SDK settings or whatever that is related to SDK, go to Tools -> SDK Manager
If you want to configure virtual devices go to Tools -> AVD Manager.
see the Android Studio intro, which explains how to use the SDK manager.
it's toolbar icon had been changed recently, which may lead to confusion.
use x86 emulator images for best performance, when HAXM is supported.
I just recently installed Android Studio (Version 2.3) so I could use the SDK / AVD GUI manager built in now that the standalone is deprecated. I'm on Windows 10 and this is a fresh install. My goal is to be able to setup a virtual device as well as setup my own android device to run a NativeScript app. After install the SDK button is available, but the AVD button is disabled (below).
I have the Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) SDK Platform installed and the Intel x86 Emulator Acc. installed (below). This is all default installs so far.
I've tried installing / reinstalling as admin as well as opening as admin per this post to no avail.
The Android SDK home path, build target, and Java SDK are setup in the project structure by default correctly as well.
Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?
As a side note the android help page for creating AVD's lists a menu option (tools -> android ) which doesn't exist.
My issue was Android Studio does not understand where to load the nativescript android project even after adding android as a platform (If someone knows a way around this, feel free to post). In my particular case I'm testing the angular-seed-advanced. To at least get the command line working (AVD manager is still greyed out):
Create a new blank android "test" project in android studio
The AVD Manager becomes available
Setup an virtual devices as necessary
Reopen nativescript project
use command npm run start.android
prepare, build, run and livesync will work as expected now.
Hope this helps someone else get started.
I have a quite big problem as accidentally removed the file, it is already removed from the bin on Mac. Now in Android Studio I cannot run emulator and I get the below message:
Can anyone help me please? What should I do now? Is there any way I can reinstall this missing file for Android studio?
Many thanks in advance!
EDIT: My problem was a missing .exe file: qemu-system-i386. I couldn't find any working solution, tried installing various images versions, was creating new emulators. I decided to uninstall Android Studio and proceed with the new installation. I used a free tool, AppCleaner, to remove the Android Studio, you can read more about this here: http://lifehacker.com/5828738/the-best-app-uninstaller-for-mac. But still had to remove manually the entire sdk tools directory. You can actually do the same from the terminal, here is the thread how to do it: How to completely uninstall Android Studio?
Anyway, the important thing it is working now! :D
1) Open the SDK manager (see the image below):
[
2) Launch the stand alone SDK manager
3) Ensure that you have downloaded and installed the SDKs and tools for Android version that you'd like to emulate. In my case I use API 25. You should also have the Intel x86 Intel Atom System images installed.
4) Then open the AVD Manager and "Create a Virtual Device"
5) Select the API level that corresponds to the one you installed in the previous steps. In the newer versions of Android Studio you can also download and install the System Image you desire in this menu.
I am newbie to android. I wanted to learn android programming. SO i downloaded . I have installed software successfully. Since i dont have device with Me. I wanted to run on emulator.But i can't use emulator Here. Please let me Know What are SDK package to be installed. When enviorment It comes up with SDK package & SDK manager.exe. How can install These package. If click on SDK manager : it again try to download & installed.
Wheater i need to download or install packages directly .
I am using Windows XP ; 32 bit
Android Enviorment esciplse
&
NDK
As I see in screenshot .You have not installed system image for API-20.You have installed system image for API 21.Please select target system image of API 21.Otherwise,
If you want to run app on emulator with fast speed,Try Genymotion -
It is better than a android emulator.
You can download a version for Windows after registering.
From what I can see, you downloaded system images from API-21 but you are trying to create an AVD with API-20.
No, for API-20, "No system image available for this target" is a correct behavior.
Wait for the android sdk manager to load all the packages and it will let you know how many packages have to be updated/installed/deleted. All you need to do is select Intel HAXM emulator accelerator which will not be selected by default and it is highly recommended that you install all the packages suggested in the sdk manager
(This question may belong on a different site such as SuperUser. If so, please migrate!)
I'm trying to do a lot of debugging of our web app for Android. The Android emulator seems a tad more difficult for me to get running than the iOS ones. ;)
I have installed the proper Java JDK and Android SDK.
I can now launch AVD manager. This is where I'm stuck. I understand this is where we can customize the specifications of our particular device, but to create a new virtual device, I need to choose a target. However, my target menu is grayed out. I'm guessing there's one more thing I need to install, but I'm lost as to what that is. (BTW, for starters, I'm trying to emulate the Thunderbolt).
Check this out. You probably missed step 4
Installing the SDK
Installing the Android SDK does not install one of the Android platforms to build a AVD from.
To install a platform do the following:
Open the Android SDK Manager (located in the Android SDK directory as tools\android).
Select at least one Android platform to install, and click Install Selected. Depending on the version of Android running on the Thunderbolt, you would most likely choose to install Android 2.2 or Android 2.3).
Once this installed the target menu will display the version you installed.
