I don't have the rep to post screenshots but I'm not able to install ADT on Eclipse. I have "unclicked" the "check updates" box but I am still told that the operation can't be completed. I did go back and delete the whole ADT folder which had been working up 'til Friday; I reinstalled all of Eclipse. In all seriousness, I guess my real question is: is my best next step to get a big fast flash drive and install everything there, even if it works more slowly?
Delete eclipse and ADT then go to this site (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) and download eclipse with sdk. Then go to download manager, download things you need and you're ready to go.
Hope this helps
You can download the Android ADT Bundle from this following links
64 Bit - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5JTI8WeLk_dZWs0YzVja1R3U3c/edit?usp=drive_web

You shoudl consider this warning seriously, If you're a new Android developer, you should consider starting with Android Studio, because the ADT plugin for Eclipse is no longer in active development. If you still want to proceed, visit Installing Android Plugin in Eclipse Offline & Online

maybe you will think this is a stupid question just for installing a plug-in.
But to be honest, I have tried 3 times to install this plug-in.
I followed this website guide: http://rgladwell.github.io/m2e-android/
and also refer to a common asked question which is a guide to add the plug-in in stackoverflow.(but I'm sorry for not capable for posting more than 2 links because of little reputation).
Cause I'm planning to develop a new Android app, so I downloaded the "adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702" from the official website.
I can use this bundle to install m2e plug-in(adt is integrated by default as we all know).
But the problem is that I don't know why I can't install the "Android for Maven" plug-in.
By the way, cause now this adt bundle has no Marketplace Client in the Help option, I install it using "install new software".
Following is the error when I was installing the plug-in.
"
The following solutions are not available: Android for Maven Eclipse (id=com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group, site=http://rgladwell.github.io/m2e-android/updates/)
"
When I opened the site it mentioned, "Page not found" error appeared.
I wonder whether is the author of this plug-in close the website to provide this service or not.
If they do stop the service now, please also let me know, so I can give up using it anymore.
This is the fourth time I'm asking a question in this website.(with no answer last three which is diametrically different from what I expect)
Hope any genius can give a answer this time.
I think this may also happen to the others so they don't need to be as trouble as I am.
Thank you very much.
There seems to be some incompatibilities between the latest ADT Bundle and the m2e-android plugin, since I also couldn't get it to work.
The update URL doesn't seem to be available over a simple Browser request, but it will work under Eclipse.
For Eclipse 4.4 the developer has put out a bugfix to make it work with ADT 23, see here: https://github.com/rgladwell/m2e-android/issues/226
Basically point the m2e-android plugin update url to http://rgladwell.github.io/m2e-android/updates/master/
I don't know if this will work for the ADT Bundle, but I just tried it on a clean Eclipse download with ADT and it seems to be working!
Edit:
Here's what I did in more details:
Go to http://eclipse.org/ and download the latest version (It was
Eclipse Standard 4.4, 206 MB at the time)
In Eclipse, go to Help -> Install new software...
Add a new site with Location https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
Select the new Location in the drop-down Work with
Install the Android Development Tools
Restart Eclipse
Afterwards repeat above steps starting from bullet no. 2, but add http://rgladwell.github.io/m2e-android/updates/master/ instead of the google.com Location and install Android for Maven Eclipse!
I have installed adt version 22.6.1 already 2 days ago. It was working fine. Suddenly, When I open eclipse today, it keeps showing me following error:
This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 22.6.1 or above. Current version is 22.2.1.v201309180102-833290. Please update ADT to the latest version.
Here is screenshot of my eclipse's Android SDK Manager :
I tried with following steps to resolve my issue as discussed in this Link
Help | Install new software
Select the ADT update site (there are two, one with http:// and one with https://. If one doesn't work, try the other.
Select the developer tools section and press next.
You should see a dialog that says This software is already installed, an update will be performed instead. Clicking OK will lead to 22.6.1 being installed.
But unfortunately it didn't work for me.
Here is a screenshot I am attaching which shows the error I am getting while updating the tools.
How can I get rid of it?
I have solved this issue yesterday.
Follow the steps :
Help -> Install New Software -> Add -> (Give any name suppose NewUpdate) -> add this url : https://dl-ssl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2 -> OK
Now it will list the available updates, which should ideally be adt 20.x.x
Select the list items Let it be installed. Eclipse will restart and Its done.
I hope this will helpful for you :)
Yet, if someone is facing this issue, Then follow steps below:
download new stand alone SDK from android's developer site
Close eclipse if it is opened and copy new downloaded sdk in the same location where your already existing old sdk is. Must replace conflict files and keep rest.
No need to delete old sdk. Copying as in step 2 will update your Android Developer Toolkit version to 22.6.1 or above which is required and will keep already downloaded APIs.
Now start your eclipse, and the error will be gone forever. :)
if someone will have trouble doing so, leave me a comment, will try to guide.
I managed to resolve it by doing the following:
Downloaded latest ADT (Win x64)
Deleted my old ADT install (It got bugged when I simply tried to overwrite the existing files) - see this google issue
Copied the zip file to C:\ (since it was complaining about too long filenames while unpacking)
Unpacked to my ADT install folder.
Ran updates and SDK manager updates.
Now it's working, but I lost my pretty Eclipse theme. Oh, and the target adt is not being resolved, a problem for another topic.
Just delete the existing ADT and install new version of ADT.generally this problems occurs
when you update SDK using below link.
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
The ADT Bundle on developer.android.com seems to me as out of date.
I fixed the same problem by downloading eclipse (Java EE was my choice, but you can choose your flavor) and Installing the Eclipse Plugin
this steps solve my problem:
go to Help -> Install New Software.
in the bottom box, click What is already installed? text.
then you will see Eclipse Installation Details box, please Uninstall all conflicts software, in my case I uninstall the following software:
Android DDMS
Android Development Tools
Android Hierarchy Viewer
Android Native Development
Android Traceview
Tracer for OpenGL ES
when uninstall complete, please restart your Eclipse.
after your Eclipse open, please follow again these steps:
go to Help -> Install New Software.
in Work with box, select or add {ADT Plugin - https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse}.
then check all available software.
click Next > to install newest software.
I hope this helps you :)
I use OSX and facing the problem for 2 days.
I solved the problem by following the steps below:
-Download ADT Bundle from https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
-Help -> Install New Software
-Write https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ then install Developer tools
-Restart eclipse and raised the error below:
Android SDK content Loader has encountered a problem.parseSdkContent failed
java.lang.NullPointeException
-Delete .android folder under user profile. Restart eclipse
No errors and 22.6.1 is installed.
For those who tried everything but didn't get any positive result. I did the following and it worked:
Uninstall the ADT by helping from following link:
Uninstalling Android ADT
Now you can follow the install new software to add ADT to your eclipse. This way you won't get any conflict since you uninstalled old version.
I currently have Eclipse and ADT installed in the same directory as
F:\eclipse
\eclipse\
\sdk\
I downloaded and installed the latest ADT to
C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk
I then copied the contents of the C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk into the F:\eclipse\sdk\ folder, and let it merge all folders and overwrite everything.
Now I have 22.6.1 and I don't have to re-download all the platform stuff again.
Today me and one of my friends faced the same problem, so I have tried many things like restarting eclipse, checking updates, etc. but none was working for me.
Then I found a solution from Here and it's working as a charm for me and also for my friend.
Follow the steps here:
Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install New Software.
Click Add, in the top-right corner.
In the Add Repository dialog that appears, enter "ADT Plugin" for
the Name and the following URL for the Location:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Click OK.
If you have trouble acquiring the plugin, try using "http" in the Location URL, instead of "https" (https is preferred for security reasons).
In the Available Software dialog, select the checkbox next to
Developer Tools and click Next.
In the next window, you'll see a list of the tools to be downloaded.
Click Next. Read and accept the license agreements, then click
Finish.
If you get a security warning saying that the authenticity or
validity of the software can't be established, click OK.
When the installation completes, restart Eclipse.
The "Install new Software" under help in Eclipse will NOT work because it conflicts with ver#22.
I just downloaded the new Eclipse bundle from:
Get the Android SDK - google site, extracted it in a new folder ant it is done.
It is working smoothly, no problems.
Few tips to save you time:
Backup your workspace (just in case) - personally didn't use this back.
Once you open the new eclipse.exe it will ask you to select a workspace - just brows to your ols workspace and it will import all your projects (no problems).
In order to save time of download and install of the SDK again, I Cut & Paste the OLD SDK library from the previous bundle directory to the new one (Close your new Eclipse first).
When you re-open Eclipse, you may receive an error message saying that Eclipse can't find the SDK directory. It will ask you to open "Preferences". Once open, browse to the new SDK directory (the one that you just copied). Doing this will save you hours of re-installing all the SDK updates that you did on the previous Eclipse.
Have fun, it is really not a big deal.
Today I installed API8 from the SDK manager, previously I only had been working with API14. After the SDK manager was done, and upon restarting ADT I got this error:
This android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 21.1.0
and above. Current version is 21.0.1.2012-12-6-2-58.
So I click to find updates but I get "no updates found".
I did the following:
Used the SDK manager to re-install android SDK tools (rev 21.1).
Used the SDK manager to re-install API8 and API14.
Still no go :(
I had the same issue. Please try the following in eclipse
Help --> Install new software
Then choose "Android Developer Tools Update Site - http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" from the drop down list and update the ADT
IF THIS THROWS ERROR Like this
No repository found containing: osgi.bundle,com.android.ide.eclipse.adt,21.1.0.v201302060044-569685
Modify http: to https:
Sample : https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
And then update ADT. This method worked for me.
You get that issue when your eclipse ADT plugin version doesn't match your SDK tools version.
Have you tried updating the ADT plugin in eclipse?
Help -> Install New Software and then using the ADT update site should work.
If you get a No Respository Found error using this site, you should use the HTTPS version instead.
If you're still having trouble getting it to install, you can download the zip standalone and manually install it. You can find the latest zip and installation instructions at the ADT troubleshooting page.
If problem in "http".
1) Help --> "Install new software" --> "Available Software Sites"
2) Click on "Android Developer Tools Update Site"
3) Click "Edit"
4) Mofify "http" to "https"
5) Click "Ok" --> "Ok"
6) Try update again.
I tried all methods mentioned here, but still without success.
What finally helped was the tip from No repository found error in Installing ADT in eclipse Indigo:
Uncheck “Contact all update sites during install to find required software”
you Should Update your ADT to Latest Version by below way.
Eclipse--> Go to Help--> Install New Software --> Add--> Inside Add Repository
Write Name="ADT"(as you want) and
Location="https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" --> after
loading some times you will get Developer Tools & NDK Plugins-->
checked both if you want to install Use NDK as future Use or checked
only developer Tool--> click Next--> Finish.
After this you can Update your SDK to latest Version.
Hope it will Help.
Got this one too, going from ADT 22.3 to 23.
Not sure what's keeping Eclipse from finding the updates (maybe some IDs changed or something), but the solution is to install the ADT plugins over the existing ones using Help -> Install New Software, just select the same site, no need to correct the URL from https to http or vice versa. The wizard will tell you there are a bunch of conflicts that'll result in removing the old versions of the plugins -- that's ok, go for it.
UPD Seemingly, (as at least one person downvoted the answer), installing new version over old one forcefully doesn't work for everyone. Here's the related bug where it's said that the old installation of Exclipse/ADT is hopelessly unupdatable and one should just download the new bundle to resolve this.
PS Anyway, you should be using Android Studio by now. Compared to Eclipse, it's a memory hog and has a very different feel to it and different hotkeys, but (as much as I hate to say it having been a snuggled up Eclipse user for a long time) it's way better, at least for Android development.
Same issue here, but luckily it is resolved now. The help->install new software and the android tool manager didn't help.
I re-downloaded the ADT bundle and simply copied over the failing installation, it works now.
I had the very same problem last weekend. Go to Help->Install new Software. Here use Android Developer Tools Update Site url - http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/, two options should appear and I can't remember which one to choose ;) (It should be the one with DEV)
I don't think it is necessary but before I removed and downloaded the whole Eclipse with ADT. But it should not be necessary.
I went through all the steps on the android dev site, installed all the SDKs, and when I start a new android project or go to android preferences the list that's supposed to show the SDKs is empty. I have the SDK location pointed to /android-sdk-mac_x86 and it looks like every things there. Am I missing a step maybe?
Try doing a fresh install. This should fix your problem. Sometimes eclipse will bug out and create problems.
Doing a fresh install usually solves this problem for me and people i know.
When you install the SDK you need to open the SDK Manager and download all the version you want to work with.. by default it doesn't include any.
I think the problem is due to the fact that you didn't install the Eclipse ADT.
The SDK is one thing (and it is not linked to Eclipse), you have then to link the SDK to Eclipse.
Quite easy and very well explained here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
I hope this helps.
it is the problem we face many time in eclipse.
to solve this problem you need to Clear your cache and reload.
just follow below given step
open AVD manager
The clear-cache button is in Tools > Options.
and reloading is Packages > Reload in the SDK Manager.
also seled first check box in other category which force https insteam of http.
restart AVD and Eclipse
I'm developing for Android with Eclipse, and all was working well until yesterday. I used Ninite to update all my stuff, including JREs and everything (pro tip: do not do that), and it restarted my computer without asking in the middle of editing my workspace.
This caused all kinds of filthy problems, but now it all works, except for Android. I've updated Android SDK and the eclipse ADT, then when I try to tell Eclipse the SDK location, it gives this error:
This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 14.0.0 or
above. Current version is 12.0.0.v201106281929-138431. Please update
ADT to the latest version.
Now, this is an outright lie. My ADT is version 14.0.something. I've tried Help>Check for updates, it says there are no updates. I've tried Help>Install new software...>Available Software Sites and removing the ADT repo, then reinstalling ADT, and it says it failed because I already have version 14.0.whatever.
How do I convince eclipse that my ADT is up to date??
I found the answer to the problem. (I'm using Helios, but it should work anyway)
Goto folder /Program Files(x86)/Eclipse/Plugins/ and make sure previous older versions of com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.package_##... are deleted (sometimes update fails to delete because of UAC). Keep the current desired version and complete the following.
Run Eclipse as administrator or disable UAC temporarily. (windows 7)
Go to Help → Install New Software.
On Work with: type https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ and press ENTER.
Wait for Eclipse to fetch the repository. An item named Developer tools will appear in the list.
Mark it for install, press Next and follow the steps to install the ADT tools.
When finished, it will ask to restart Eclipse. Make sure you do this.
When Eclipse restarts, all your Android SDK packages should show up again.
Dont forget to resume UAC if you need it.
An option is to manually download the ADT plugin (ADT archive) required. The page is, http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html. The page reveals ADT 18 is available at http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-18.0.0.zip. The link is closer to the bottom page. I needed 17 although 18 was the latest, so I modified the download URL, changing 18 to 17.
Select Help → Install New Software → Add → Choose Archive and select the location of the downloaded ADT archieve file, Choose OK.
Select the components required and proceed as required. You may get a message that the software is already installed, proceed with the installation.
Hope this helps.
I had the same problem. My ADT in the eclipse was 8.x version. But my app required version 12 or more. So, I decided to upgrade both the Android SDK and ADT to the latest (at this time latest ADT is 17). I was able to upgrade the SDK but not the ADT. It always complained I got the versions already but I only had 8.x. The new SDK that I just upgraded would function only with ADT 14 and above. So, I had successfully broken my android development!!
The reason why I wasn't able to upgrade my ADT to the latest was because I was using Eclipse 3.5. The newer ADT versions require 3.6 or above. This small but key bit of information was really at the bottom of the error generated by Eclipse which required scrolling down (since only the top few lines of error were displayed). You typically wouldn't scroll down since these top few lines were followed by whitespace lines :). I did not scroll and I guess I wasted about a day trying to rectify this problem. But eventually I saw those 2 up/down arrows at the right of the dialog box and I scrolled down. There it clearly mentioned ADT 17 requires Eclipse runtime 3.6 and over.
So my solution was to find a suitable ADT that would work with Eclipse 3.5. Yes, tomorrow when I am in the mood, I shall upgrade to Eclipse 3.6 or 3.7 and the boat load of plugins I have :)
I've just upgraded my Android SDK version, and had exactly the same issue.
The 'Check For updates' Eclipse command failed because, for some reasons, Android Traceview failed to update.
My solution was to :
* Open Eclipse → Help → About Eclipse .
* Click Installation Details.
* Here select all the android related lines, and update them one by one, restarting eclipse each time.
And finally it worked ( even with Helios ) !
Best option is go to open eclipse ID
Then go to Help → About Eclipse >>
u will find the Installation Details button click on that
And now u can see the all anriod extension installed.
Select all or select one by one and just click the update button.
you will get the latest version from the net.
Hope these will help you all.
In Eclipse:
Help → Check for Updates.
Your ADT and SDK is not up-to-date yet and Eclipse is complaining about the right stuff...
Open Android SDK Manager from toolbar and update your SDK from there. It doesn't help if you are checking Eclipse updates. Because through Eclipse you cannot check SDK updates for Android.
Button looks like this :
I'm hearing a common issue is that newer Android ADK versions require newer eclipse versions. Colleagues who hit this say they installed Indigo in place of older Helios versions and were able to resolve the issue this way. I have not yet done the same myself.
To anyone else with this problem, my solution was just to delete the Eclipse folder, and download a new copy from scratch. I had to then re-download all plugins including adt, which worked this time round.
