I installed Eclipse Helios Software. And i also downloaded Android SDK Manager. I installed some in the SDK. When I click on Help---> Install New Software and click the "Add" button. I was asked the Name and the Location. I gave the Name as ADT Plugin and Location as "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/". But its showing that the link is not found in the repository. I should create an Android Project. How should I do this?
under the settings menu in miscellaneous section check- Force https://… sources to be fetched using http://… and retry.. i think it might help..
read the troubleshooting installation at
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
it clearly says
*If Eclipse can not find the remote update site containing the ADT plugin, try changing the remote site URL to use http, rather than https. That is, set the Location for the remote site
to:
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
*If you are using firewall make sure to make certain settings regarding proxy...

Problem installing the ADT Plugin for Eclipse
Related
Recently I've encountered following error :
The strangest thing is that I've just updated some package from sdk via working eclipse. There was no information or warning that after this update current adt will crash. I've checked latest updates and can't find new adt even on google's page. Even new adb contain old adt.
From http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/tools-notes.html:
Dependencies: Android SDK Platform-tools revision 18 or later. If you
are developing in Eclipse with ADT, note that this version of SDK
Tools is designed for use with ADT 22.6.1 and later. If you haven't
already, update your ADT Plugin to 22.6.1.
The only solution is to download new standalone eclipse and external plugin for it?
Does the android studio face the same problems?
Environment: linux x64.
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.
I reported this bug yesterday. Solution is to use Help -> Install new software option with httpS:// protocol (s is important). No special downloads or re-installations is needed, just choose the right update site.
The problem is that the default update site in Android ADT is
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
but this site don't update correctly
And the solution is add a new Install site with protocol https
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Click in Help->Install New Software->Add
And use this site to update ADT
Issue : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67325
To solve this problem, here I have covered steps, surely it will help you.
Please follow these steps:
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.
Update 27/03/2014
They released 22.6.2 and fixed this issue so update your ADT to new version.
You can see this thread : Cannot update from ADT 22.3.0. to 22.6.1
You can go to Window->Android SDK Manager and check tha what version you have.
In my case it shows I already have toolkit 22.6.1 installed but still get the error. Whether you already have it or not, you can do the following to fix.
Go to Help->Install New Software... In the dialog shown below, click on 'Add' button on the top right side.
Paste "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" in Location. You can name it anything.
Click Ok and follow the dialog by clicking Next.
If prompted with a message sasying you already have it, just agree so that it gets updated (or installed if it wasn't there).
This should resolve the issue.
source : http://codewriterstips.blogspot.nl
if your android sdk is to old . you must download new android sdk in developer.android.com and , copy past some nececary folder on it .
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:

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.
Im having trouble installing Eclipse to develop Android apps. I have installed the android-sdk-windows as well as Eclipse Juno (running on Windows 8).
When I start Eclipse I get the message "This version of ADT requires Android SDK Tools revision 21.0.0.rc9 or above. Current version is 15.0.0. Please updaye your SDK tools to the latest version"
I then open my SDK manager, and select to update and install the package. But I get the error messages as per the images below
Can anyone please help with this as its driving me crazy. I have looked on here for solutions but a lot of the explanations get very technical or skip "obvious" steps and I get stuck. I have installed and unistalled a number of times, but no luck. I have manually tried to change the filename as per the second error message but it says the file is in use so I cant rename it. I have closed all internet explorer applications when trying this, as well as disabling Norton antivirus, but still no luck.
Make your download from this link Get SDK. It have the IDE Eclipse and the installation of the SDK already configured. Maybe this help you..
Exit Eclipse while having the SDK Manager open. Then press Yes. I think this is the problem.
You don't need to download sdk or other stuff. following steps
Pre-requestries : Install Jdk and setting the JAVA_HOME and install eclipse
Start Eclipse, then select Help --> Install New Software
Click Add, in the top-right Corner
In the Add Repository dialog enter "ADT Plugin" for Name & the following URL for Location
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Click OK
In the available software dialog check the Developer Tools and click, Next.
Read the license and accept it.
That it. Finish.
Hope you got the way.
First of all, I'm a student that wants to work with Android for my internship. Here is a link about my upcoming question, but he did not get a good awnser yet: Unable to Install Platforms for Android SDK r15
After reading some about android I started the download and install. I got a SDK manager and a AVD manager. Got eclipse etc too. But no SDK and AVD manager like I see everywhere on the internet. I searched everywhere and I can install some things manually, but that isn't handy.
So with my SDK manager I cannot download the platforms I want. Maybe I need to download an older reversion of the SDK, so I get the SKD and AVD manager instead of seperated.
Please take a look at the link. Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language.
Anyone got a solution for downloading the platforms/Google USB driver/etc.. in the SDK program itself?
Thanks in advance
when you installed the SDK manager into the eclipse with a install new software method as spefified in the android developer installation files.
Downloading the ADT Plugin
Use the Update Manager feature of your Eclipse installation to install the latest revision of ADT on your development computer.<>
Assuming that you have a compatible version of the Eclipse IDE installed, as described in Preparing for Installation, above, follow these steps to download the ADT plugin and install it in your Eclipse environment.
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
Note: 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.
Note: 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.
after that ... you can can install the SDK from this link... now in the eclipse open the preferences --> Android. specify the path to your SDK root directory... that is it... now press the ADT plugin icon and then you can download any version you want...
UPDATE:
i think the version of eclipse is quite wrong it is better and safer to install the eclipse classic version... the jdk can be decided upon what is you base system. once you have the JDK as 32 or 64 bit download the appropriate eclipse classic version(almost every one does it except with really specific java development{which can be installed/customized any time later}) and helios or indigo i don't think that would matter ... until and unless the ADK supports it. Everything is taken care of by it.
