I'm trying to install the Android SDK tools on my Windows XP SP3. I have jdk1.5.0_06 installed, but the Android SDK setup refuses to with the error in the following image. This happes in the next screen after detecting the JDK instalation.
Is this a known issue? And is there a solution?
Not sure about what the error is. But strongly recommend that you go with JDK 1.6.x version or 1.7x for Android development.
download the installer again & see if it solves the issue. Before installing Android SDK, make sure you have jdk installed on your system. Alternatively you can install eclipse adt plugin & it will automatically install the Android SDK for you. Installing the Eclipse Plugin
I am trying to install the ADT Plugin. I go to Help install new software in eclipse and then after selecting the development tool I get this error
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Android Traceview 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534)
Missing requirement: Android Traceview 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534) requires 'org.eclipse.ui 3.6.2' but it could not be found
EDIT
I have eclipse 3.5.2
I did not found any solution for this. But instead of using eclipse installed with
sudo apt-get install eclipse
I downloaded it from a web page and I start that (the downloaded) eclipse, and with that version it works just fine
You need to install GEF and WST first.
GEF Update Site : http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/ (dead)
WST Update Site : http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo
I had the same problem, run eclipse as administrator and try to instal ADT plugin again, it works.
There seems to be some version mismatch. Are you using eclipse 3.6.2 or older version?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html mentions that ADT 16.0.1 requires eclipse version 3.6 and higher.
Also, just check if you have installed/updated the latest android SDK before updating the adt. That might help in your case.
In case you can't upgrade your Eclipse (like me). Use this as a local archive to install ADT 15.0.0 which supports Eclipse 3.5.

I found that using a 64bit version of eclipsed gave me that error! Try using the 32bit version and see if that fixes it! =)
i had the same problem.
I solved it by open the eclipse in the console with: sudo eclipse
you just need Ecplise Helios
ADT 16.0.1 (December 2011)
Dependencies:
Eclipse Helios (Version 3.6) or higher is required for ADT 16.0.1.
ADT 16.0.1 is designed for use with SDK Tools r16. If you haven't already installed SDK Tools r16 into your SDK, use the Android SDK Manager to do so.

On Ubuntu 11.10,
I downloaded Eclipse using sudo apt-get install eclipse
Installed Android SDK
Installed ADT PLugin in Eclipse (Eclipse must be started with sudo otherwise you will get error as mentioned by lukap)
there is an easy solution for it just select option all available sites .. in the work with.. space and select the android packages you want to install
In windows 7, choose 'Run as Administrator' when opening eclipse. This gives eclipse the permissions it needs, and should eliminate the error. This worked for the 64-bit program.
I had similar problems, trying to install ADT plugin, but not exactly the same.
I fixed it by going to Help > Check For Updates, and just installed current updates available, restarted Eclipse, and then tried installing ADT plugin again, and it worked just fine.
I was using eclipse (helios version 3.6.2) and tried to install android SDK but i failed with abovee mentioned error.
I found the solution for this issue.
Select the "Available software sites" list
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/201102250900 (Helios) and http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios (Helios Milestone Repository)
If using galileo select the appropriate release line from avail sw site list.
'Check for Updates' (to get the Helios updates), then install the plugin.
for native install (tested on xubuntu) - please view video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCNC34BflOo&feature=player_embedded#!
shortly:
1) run eclipse from
root-> help -> install new software -> add
name: update(S), url: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo (for 3.7.x, juno for 4.2.x)
or select in menu "work with" if path exist
2) select 'linux development'
install, all warnig/error pakages make off
3) install ADT Plugin
after install restart eclipse and select path-to-android-sdk
4) Tape (Write) bug to our linux distributive vendor :)
Enjoy!
PS Separate install - good idea :)
I've installed the following:
JDK
Android SDK
Eclipse Classic 3.7
Now I'm trying to install the ADT plugin for eclipse, but in the install process I get the following error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Android Development Tools 12.0.0.v201106281929-138431 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 12.0.0.v201106281929-138431)
How do I go about resolving this error.
I started from the beginning, removed Eclipse, Android SDK etc, then downloaded everything again and re-installed. Seems to be working know, weird?!
I had the same problem right now, and I solved it running eclipse as admin...
Windows 7 pro x64
Eclipse Indigo
I got the same Issue, but I updated Eclipse and the Android SDK, it worked ! i guess no need to re install all the stuff.
I was running Eclipse Helios 64bit
I have installed the plugin many times before, but this time I keep getting this error:
'Install' has encountered a problem
An error occurred while installing the items
Eclipse has some memory issues when running on my machine, so I just want to install the bare minimum plugins, etc.
Has anyone got any ideas how to get around this error?
SOLVED
I had the wrong version of Eclipse installed. I just installed the version from the Ubuntu software center and it didn't work, do I uninstalled it and downloaded the Java EE version from Eclipse's website and now it works.
Go to Window -> preference -> Install/update
There update the plugin package ... the one responsible for installing ADT.
Worked for me atleast.

I am using a laptop with Windows 7 Home Prem x64. I have installed Java JDK1.6.0_18 and Eclipse Gallileo. I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Android SDK with several Platforms loaded and a AVD defined. I can install the Android Eclipse plugin from the remote site stated in the instructions. The plugin installation performs without any errors and I can verify that the plugins are indeed installed. My problem begins when I go to Windows -> Preferences, there is no Android section to configure. And when I go to File -> New -> Project, there is no Android Project to choose.
I have uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled at least 10 times, trying different things and still no luck. I originally had the 64 bit version of the JDK installed, but removed it and installed the 32 bit version.
Has anyone heard of this type of problem? Is it because I am using Windows 7?
Thanks for any help.

Have you tried doing the following and have it manually install from there:
Help -> Software Updates -> Add site -> http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
I didn't see it on the website regarding if the ADT or the SDK is not compatible with Windows 7.
When you said you installed the 32-bit version, did you get it working or not at all?
maybe you have space in your Eclipse or Android SDK path? do not use spaces in path. I had similar problems and that's because spaces.
I encountered the same problem on my Mac, and found out what my problem was. When I was futzing around with stuff I had renamed the config.ini file in the eclipse/configuration folder. When I renamed it back to config.ini and restarted eclipse everything Android was back in the menus for me.
