I have downloaded eclipse 3.8 and have also downloaded the SDK tools. Both separately. I ran the SDK manager. Everything got installed but it did not show in the eclipse. Later I tried installing the ADT explicitly. Everything went fine, I ran the SDK manager, installed whatever I needed but when I restarted the Eclipse, there was no sign of ADT ever installed. Please help.
First of all: the SDK tools are not bound to eclipse and therefor don't change the eclipse installations. They are just a set of tools used to develop java applications for eclipse. What you need to install is the eclipse adt plugin using the installation dialog from within eclipse (Help => Install new Software). You could also download the pre-bundled eclipse with an integrated adt plugin and sdk.

I downloaded Eclipse Luna, started it then went to install new software
https://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.4
Downloaded all of the plugins, but nothing for Androids SDK appeared.
When I start Eclipse it says I need to update my Android SDK location preferences.
Could I get some assistance as to where to find it in my eclipse directory, or where to download the ADT package. Previous versions have included ADT within it, but I've failed to find a version of Luna that does.
Thanks
The only Eclipse Version with ADT incluced is Juno yet.
You can try to download the single ADT-Plugin in Eclipse: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
If you have the Android SDK installed you also have to add the directories "tools" and "platform-tools" to your environment path.
Eclipse version is Kepler and compiles with jdk 1.7. I installed the ADT plugin using Help->Install new software-> add https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/. It seemed to install successfully.
When eclipse was restarted, I was not prompted to specify the location of the android sdk as expected in the adk installation tutorial.
None of the ADT options/tools (sdk manager, device manager, option to make android projects) exist in eclipse, yet the ADT appears to be installed:
How can I use the ADT features like device manager etc in my copy of eclipse?
I'm installing Android Plugin in eclipse, I'm following:
developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
I download the adt plugin and eclipse asked me to restart, I did it and when it started I got this mistake.
I click the Open Preferences, but I can't find nothing similar to adt in my windows computer. Where should it be this folder? what is usually the name?
Per the Setting Up an Existing IDE (of which the guide you are referencing is a part of):
You should have already downloaded the Android SDK Tools
Download the SDK Tools, then set up your Eclipse ADT Plugin, directing it to the directory you installed the SDK tools into.
I followed android.com's instructions for installing eclipse with android developer tools (ADT) bundle. I then in eclipse do Help > Install New Software... to attempt to install Android Source Plugin which I have happily used for at least a year on my old eclipse installation.
Attempting to install it using Java Rel7, I get an error which I found some bug reporting was due to running eclipse on Java Rel7. So I tried to run Java Rel5 but this version of eclipse needs Java Rel6. So I installed Java Rel6 and tried running eclipse on that and installing the Android Source Plugin, but that failed too.
Anybody else run in to anything like this? Know any workarounds?
You could try installing eclipse and the SDK seperately. I've had to install android a few times recently on different machines and this is the approach Ive taken. You can download eclipse from the eclipse website at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. (I have the first option Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers).
After that is installed you can install the android sdk using this guide http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android/android-sdk-installation/
Also make sure if you want to test on a phone that you go into the android sdk manager (should appear somewhere in eclipse when SDK installed) and download the updates there.
I installed ADT 16.0.1 in eclipse indigo on fedora 16 successfully. But after installing that I do not find Android option in preferences from where I can set the location of android sdk. So why eclipse doesn't show the option of Android in preferences even after successful installation of ADT?
I'm using Fedora 16 and eclipse Indigo 3.7.1. I had to remove the ADT plug-in from Eclipse. Then open a terminal and login as root. then run eclipse from terminal and reinstall plug-in. I changed the workspace from root to the default home/yourname/workspace. then close eclipse- log out of terminal. then re-open eclipse from desktop. Your android stuff should be there.I also installed Linux-tools( in eclipse- logged in as root)- hope this helps
here is complete guide to setup Android build Enviornment.
Read the Step3 there properly, it should work. Also never install eclipse from Software manager or command prompt, instead download it from eclipse website
