How to individually install eclipse, adt and sdk - android

After trying several times to download the adt bundle from the android website which includes adt, sdk and eclipse,I have had no luck. There seems to be an issue with the bundle. My question is, how do I go about installing each bit separately. I have downloaded eclipse and the adt plugin but where does the sdk fit into all of this. Anyone got a step by step guide?

After downloading and opening Eclipse, go to Help -> Install new software -> Add.
Name - ADT
Location - https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
Click ok. Select the Developer Tools checkbox and proceed. It will download and install the ADT plugin automatically.
Then click on the "Android SDK manager" button in Eclipse. Select the SDKs you want to download and you are done.

Location of android SDK has not been setup in preferences

I am getting this error:
I have installed ADT and SDK using install new software in Eclipse. I am using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers. Version: Kepler Service Release 2.
I used this link https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
I do not know where the SDK is getting installed as it being done through Eclipse. Which path should I provide to remove this error. Actually I cannot even set a path as the OK button in preferences window remains disabled.
What can be the issue.
I know this has be address earlier but could not get what I am looking for hence added a new thread.
I do not know where the SDK is getting installed as it being done through Eclipse.
Not if you installed the ADT plugin separately. You need to download and install the Android SDK (see "SDK Tools Only"), then teach the ADT plugin where you installed it.
Also note that support for the ADT Plugin has been officially discontinued by Google.
Choose Window>preferences>Android
In the SDK location Text Box you need to browse the location of Android SDK, to let eclipse know where the android SDK is, and same for the ADT by chhosing HELP>Install new Software...
I had faced same problem and get solution....
In Eclipse go to Help
Install New Software ---> Add
Inside Add Repository write the Name: ADT (or, as you want)
and Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
after loading some time you will get Developer Tools.
check Developer Tool
click Next
Finish
Your problem will solved.
I have deleted folder .android in my user folder (c:/users/xyz/.android) and relaunched Eclipse - dialog box "Android SDK installation" (not exact name) has came up - then install of SDK.

Errors in updating the Android's ADT Plugin for Eclipse

I have been trying everything since 2 days now, my ADT plugin is not updating:
1)I have tried going to SDK manager in my Android SDK Windows folder, Ran it as Administrator and installed Android SDK Build-tools but going to Windows>Preferences>Android I am still getting the error on selecting this sdk as SDK Path (This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 22.6.2 or above. Current version is 10.0.1.v201103111512-110841. Please update ADT to the latest version.):
2) And also went to Help->Check for Updates but got the error: Missing requirement: Android Development Tools 22.6.2.v201403212031-1085508 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 22.6.2.v201403212031-1085508) requires 'org.eclipse.core.runtime 3.7.0' but it could not be found
3) Also going to Help-> Install new software and give the path as https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ gives me Duplicate Location . Also tried using an http instead of https but to no avail.
4)Also this is a snapshot of my installation details:
5) Also manually installed the missing plugins - org.eclipse.core.runtime.3.7.0 and placed it in plugun folder inside eclipse folder. But the software is not reading it.
I dont know what the fault is. Please guide me.
check this link: https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html#Troubleshooting
download adt from https://dl.google.com/android/ADT-22.6.2.zip
Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install New Software.
Click Add, in the top-right corner.
In the Add Repository dialog, click Archive.
Select the downloaded ADT-22.6.2.zip file and click OK.
Enter "ADT Plugin" for the name and click OK.
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.
When the installation completes, restart Eclipse.
Although this question is marked as answered, however I think when you faced too many difficulties in updating process, it is better to download a new copy of "SDK ADT Bandle" from this link.

Cant Find Android under Eclipse/Preference

I downloaded Indigo Eclipse and installed the ADT from Eclipse Marketplace but its not showing up in the Eclipse/Preference plugin list.
I also tried removing the ADT from eclipse and the software site "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" from "available software sites" and then reinstalled the ADT from "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" using help->install new software. The installation was successful, but I still don't have any option for shortcuts to the SDK manager or the AVD in eclipse, and neither can I create a new android project.
By the way, when i check on the available software then its showing the ADT installed.
I also checked under:
Window > Custom Perspective (you will see Android and AVD Manager were disable)
Command Groups Availability > BUT CANT FIND Android SDK and AVD Manager
Also, I Checked under
Window -> show View -> other -> Plugin Development -> Plugin Registry
In the plugin registry search for com.android.ide.eclipse.adt
Select , Right Click -> Diagnose.
It shows the following problems were found:
Missing required bundle com.android.ide.eclipse.base_0.0.0
Missing required bundle com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms_0.0.0
I DONT KNOW WHAT IS ABOVE REQUIREMENT OR I AM MISSING SOMETHING, Any IDEA?
You first need to follow these instructions:
Here
You need to have downloaded Android SDK Tools and then follow the above instructions
Then,
Install Elcipse Plugin
If you follow these steps exactly and it still doesn't work I would try uninstalling the IDE and starting from scratch.
The easiest thing to do, is to install the Android Developer Tools (ADT) which includes a customised version of Eclipse which also contains the SDK for Android Development.
You will in this manner avoid the issues you are currently experiencing.

When you update your android sdk with the sdk manager, try each time to update the ADT eclipse plugin.
So, in eclipse, go to "Help"-> "Check for updtade" and update the ADT plugin.
u can update ADT plung v22 from android dev guide and install use below steps:
Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install New Software.
Click Add, in the top-right corner.
In the Add Repository dialog, click Archive.
Select the downloaded ADT-22.0.0.zip file and click OK.
Enter "ADT Plugin" for the name and click OK.
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.

Android ADT version required 20.0.0 and above

Yesterday I tried to install titanium appcelerator and in the process I edited some of the android sdk installations Now I have updated my android sdk to rev 20. But when i start eclipse i get an error that sdk requires version 20.0.0 or above. I tried to install by using eclipse->help->check for updates-> but again the installation doesn't work claiming that required items could not be found. Please help
Goto Help → Install New Software.
In there you click the work with: dropdown and select your android adt link.
Then it will show the list of things to install choose it click next.
I also got the same error and I solved it from updating adt.
Go to : Eclipse → Help → Install New Software and click the work with drop down and select android adt link that you have used previously. It looks like this :
android ADT - https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/.
Tick the developers tools check box and click next. If you have already installed some of them, then eclipse will notify you.
Better to Download Latest Eclipse Setup Juno http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ open this link and download this version
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
What I did was to uninstall the latest ADT and go back to a previous ADT. It worked.
Go to Help → Install New Software - look for the already installed hyperlink. Uninstall all ADT's. Restart Eclipse and it will tell you the ADT you need for the revision tools you have. Download this ADT and install it manually. It should at least work.
I got the same error, I solved this by updating the Android SDK tools and Android SDK platform tools.From Eclipse → Window → Android SDK Manager, then Update Tools → Android SDK Tools and Android SDK platform tools packages. After this restart the eclipse and then update the ADT again. (Help → Check for new Updates).
This is the best and quick solution:
Open SDK manager -> Packages menu -> Reload
if You have to update ADT 20.0 otherwise it's not work and also not list the Number of SDK install.
i have that problem and fix by updating ADT 20.0 , also Good User Interface.
I suspected that something was wrong with my configuration, as I shouldn't have to suddenly update the ADT when everything had been previously working.
BTW, I got this with "Android ADT version required 21.0.0 and above".
To fix it, I:
Reinstalled eclipse (which is quite easy, as the zip was still in my Downloads, so I just deleted my eclipse directory and unzip the original again - eclipse doesn't use the registry)
Created a "hello_world" java app, in eclipse, to test that (fixing any problems with the standard searches");
Created a "hello_world" Android app to test that (fixing any problems with the standard searches).
Reverted my project files to the last known working version,
Imported my project, and fixed an problems, etc...
About an hour's work. No downloads (assuming you've still got your eclipse zip), no update to the ADT, and no obscure problems which I haven't faced before.
This person (http://kcwebprogrammers.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/android-sdk-eclipse-hell.html) recommends a complete re-install, but it seems that a partial restoration may work.
I too had the same problem. I resolved it by doing the following in Eclipse:
Go to Help -> Check for Updates -> Install all the Updates available.
only check on Android Development Tools then press next and accept install it :)

In Eclipse (ADT)
Help --> Install New Software ---> Work with --> Android Developer
Tools Update Site - http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Select all of the updates you want to install and UNCHECK option "Contact all update sites during install to find required software". After that everything should install as it is mentioned to be.
