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 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.
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.
I already have Android SDK latest edition and Eclipse installed. But I want to try Android Studio as well.
I have seen this and this post, but those solutions change the instance of SDK Android Studio (once downloaded and installed) uses. What I want is not to download another SDK when I already have it installed on my machine.
The problem is that the download package given here includes SDK as well.
So can I download Android Studio IDE without the SDK, and then give the path to the SDK I already have during installation?
All the answers suggest to download it with an SDK and then delete it.
You can however download the AStudio w/o the SDK from Android Tools Project Site.
The latest build (2.0 Preview 4) can be downloaded here.
Note: The newest version also requires the SDK to be outside the application folder!
Well now Google offers a "No Android SDK" version of Android Studio in its official Download portal:
It is an old question but it might help someone like me who is looking for an answer. This instructions are for windows 64 bit systems.
Download zip of Android studio without SDK using links given in other answers (e.g. I downloaded android-studio-ide-141.2112779-windows.zip - version 1.3.0.9)
Unzip the archive and run bin/studio64.exe
When it asks for the path to install the SDK, browse your existing SDK location instead of the default path given.
If it detects valid installation of SDK, it will display a message that only missing or old component will be downloaded.
I hope it helps.
You can find it here (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other) in the "Other Download Options" section. There is many different version of Android SDK and Android Studio, including Android Studio without bundled SDK tools.
You can download it with SDK, then change it to yours ( here is explained ) and then delete it
Download Android Studio as is.
Go to it's location and delete the SDK (optional).
At your project open "project structure" and set SDK locations to your Eclipse's SDK.
or just copy your Eclispse sdk to android studio SDK.
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 have Win7-64 laptop, installed JDK, Eclise is working. I am failing to install the Android SDK. I downloaded 'adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030' from developer.android. When I used SDK Manager, i could select required installation components and it shows as complete. However, I dont see anything in the 'All Programs'. I also dont see any plugin (that I was supposed to see) in the Eclipse as well. So I gather I am missing some step. Can anyone help. Pl see![][1]
Your downloaded sdk files may not shown in All Programs as they are not executable nor meaningless to be clickable.
Sometimes many folks got a problem to point out exact SDK path, so more than one SDK binaries are downloaded. I think your eclipse cannot find sdk path properly.
To find out where the SDK path is, it displays in SDK Manager.
Then, you can set the path in Eclipse Eclipse->Window->Preferences-> select Android from left hand menu. Check SDK Location has same path; see screenshot.
FYI, as downloaded files are just a bunch of binaries used only for Android development, you can copy the whole android-sdk folder to other place.
I personally recommend to change the directory to C:\Android or C:\User\<me>\Documents\Android-sdk as default directory is in C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Local hidden folder.
The ADT bundle includes an Eclipse executable fully configured with the Android SDK tools. It does not add a plugin to an existing Eclipse install. To launch ADT/Eclipse goto . Search for eclipse.exe within that directory. This is the executable you need to launch.
On my Mac, the Eclipse executable is in /Applications/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse. Just a guess, but on Windows, the path will probably look something like adt-bundle-windows-x86/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/windows/eclipse.exe
I would personally suggest to use Android Studio 2.1 for easy install of plugins as whenever there is an update to any platform tools or build tools they are readily available and the dependency injection is far better with the build tools such as Gradle which are bundled with the Android Studio .
Android Studio
Android adt is plugin to use Android SDK in Eclipse IDE. You have SDK you have Eclipse now you need to install adt plugin in eclipse to use your SDK.
You can refer Android developers for plugin installation
https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/android/docs/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html#Download
For "I dont see anything in the 'All Programs' I also dont see any plugin" part you will not see any extra program installed in your system as adt is extension of eclipse. When you will have adt in place you should be able to see Android option in eclipse preferences. You should also be see Android APplication option while creating new project.
