Today I updated Android SDK Tools to version 23, Android SDK platform-tools to version 20 and ADT Plugin. Everything works fine except one - I can't create an activity via wizard in any project. I point out all the necessary parameters, click "Finish" and nothing happens. Does anyone have the same issue? And maybe some of you already know how to solve it. Or should I just wait for an update from Google?
From Google on June 27:
Please wait for an updated version within a day or two. Until then, your workaround is to do download one of:

I am using Android Studio 3.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I'm currently working on a project with target API 28. I've downloaded the SDK with API level 28 during installation but sometimes when I try to run my project on my device, a popup dialogue prompts me to select the SDK. This does not happen every time but happens sometimes even if I've run the project before and made no change to the SDK path. I don't know what triggers this. I've seen similar questions on StackOverflow, but none of the solutions work for me. Here's what I have done so far:
Synced my project
Invalidated cache and restart
closed my project and opened it again
Uninstalled my SDK and downloaded it again
Switched back to an older version of SDK and then back again
But none of this works and the only workaround I found was to open another project that I downloaded from Github (with API 26), build it and then go back to my current project. This solves it temporarily. A few of my friends are working on the same project on different machines (Windows, Mac) and they have this problem, too.
Is this a bug with AS or is there a permanent solution?
File->Settings->Android SDk.
If already was there in your system set the path to that otherwise download the SDK from SDK tools by selecting specific name.
I've found this workaround. It is not perfect, but it works. Hope this this will be helpful for someone else.
Move your project folder to another location and then open it. It resolves the problem.
I have created a few projects with the MasterDetailFlow using API 11 earlier.
I needed to add LoginActivity so I downloaded the needed SDKs and updated the SDK tools to rev 22.2
http://prntscr.com/1rzb9j
Now that it is updated, when I use the wizard to create a new MasterDetailFlow project, or when adding an Activity template such as LoginActivity (to my previously created project having MasterDetailFlow layout) it says that the Android Support Library is not available or is outdated.
http://prntscr.com/1rzbc5
This template depends on the Android Support library, which is either not installed, or the template depends on a more recent version than the one you have installed.
Required version: 8
Installed version: 18
I have tried Uninstalling and reinstalling via the Wizard, to no avail
(as advised here Not able to create new Project with ADT version 20)
After I uninstall and run the wizard- the Installed version shows "not available" and thus I click on "Install/Upgrade"; where it installs and shows that the Installed version is 18 but the next and finish buttons are disabled, and "Check Again" does nothing.
I have also tried manually installing also, going back to version 8, even then it says:
Required version: 8
Installed version: 8
Here too, the next button is disabled, and check again does nothing.
I repeated the above said solutions many times, and no luck. I am thinking it might be something else that is wrong. Any ideas?
Try google app inventor for creating android applications. Its easier and lot more simple.
Solved.

Hi everyone,
This one is my bad. I was in the middle of changing the dependency
system used by the templates and a transient state got picked up into
this tools build. The templates have settled in the AOSP master
branch.
I've attached a snapshot of the current Activities templates.
Replacing your sdk/tools/templates/activities folder with the contents
of this zip should resolve this issue.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Download the given file and replace it with the templates, and it works fine.
install the platforms and extras in the sdk better install all there is to install in the sdk
Yesterday i updated my android sdk to api 17. Now the launching of eclipse is showing error (image 1)
I tried to check for updates but its not allowing.
I also have my android sdk path mentioned in preference but then also it says that "Android SDK path not mentioned in prefrence"
And when I try running any application it shows (image2)
When I am trying to update my adt 20 to 21 then also there is a error (image 3)
Please help me. Because of this I am not able to proceed ahead.
As it says your current ADT plugin is 20.0.3. And you require Version 21.x.x for API level 17.
So, to fix this, open eclipse->help->install new software and then select ADT plugin. it will display the latest ADT version. click next and continue.
To configure SDK, go to Windows>>Preferences>>Android and put your SDK location Sample location would be C:\Android\android-sdk-windows
I suppose that would solve your issue
If you already have SDK installed then please update SDK
go to Help>>Check for updates
I think the easiest solution would be just to remove your SDK and then redownload the bundle.
I recently downloaded all the latest updates for my eclipse/Android plugins (before the upgrades everything worked fine). I got everything to work except when i try to create a new project I get a message that I need Android support library revision 8. I click Install/Upgrade and It proceeds to download and install the library. When it finishes the tiny download/install window disappears but the window which informs me that i need Android support library revision 8 remains open and i cant click finish to create new project. I tried closing the window and eclipse and trying it again but it always leads me to the window which states I need the Android support library revision 8. I didnt move eclipse to any other location and I am wondering what is wrong.
I had a problem before with an ! in my eclipse path and eclipse wouldnt work because of exit error 13. I posted a question about it before. My answer explains what has happened and the easy fix.
I am wondering what is wrong now. Do i need to manually link the support library?
Im really frustrated because its taking me forever to set this up.
Update:
I tried restarting eclipse and reinstalling the library multiple times.
I upgraded the android sdk tools and sdk platform-tools before i installed the support libraries.
Like these similar issue i'd for 2 days ago. Whenever, i'm trying to create a new project its showing me like below
For, this i've downloaded that support library using Install/Upgrade and in my path E:/Android/Android-Sdk/extras/android/compaitability I've changed the name of compaitability as support and after just restarted my Eclipse. Its working fine.
Hope these helps you.
Try updating android sdk tools and sdk platform-tools and restart eclipse? ADT has dependencies on these.
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.
