I have downloaded Eclipse Helios for Java EE on my Mac. Now I want to develop an Android application. Can I use the same IDE for developing that android application?
I am using Eclipse IDE for Java EE to create webservices for applications. Also, now I got requirement to develop Android applications. Thats why, I want to use same IDE for both. Is that possible?
Yes, you just need to get the Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Then you will need to get the Eclipse plug in by going to Help > Install New Software and input the link: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ . This will give you the plugin you need.
All this can be found here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html
Newest Android SDK's work with the newest versions of Eclipse(you would have a problem few months back, especially in Linux).

This is really informative. You can also find whatever you want to start developing. Have fun
You should be able to. Just make sure you download the Android SDK and ADT.

Can Eclipse in conjunction with ADT still be used for Android Development (and if yes, how do I go about it) or should I just keep using Android Studio?
I tried setting up ADT on my Eclipse, but it wouldn't work (after many, many tries).
Any advice would be appreciated.
yes you can but the best practice for android development is by using Android Studio because linux users has also problem with eclipse. you can take help from below link
https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/android/docs/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
but as per my suggestion you should use Android Studio because if you are using eclipse then you need to migrate the code also.
Can anyone help me with installing the correct version of eclipse to use for developing android mobile applications with the associated plug ins needed
These videos by me :) can help you to set up Android development environment using Eclipse.
Here's the link : Set up android.
Caution : If you have been using Eclipse with ADT, be aware that Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android, so you should migrate to Android Studio to receive all the latest IDE updates. For help moving projects, see Migrating to Android Studio.
As Petey suggested in his comment, I would recommend giving AndroidStudio a spin as it is very well suited to Android programming. However, take a look at the eclipse ADT plugin which can be installed via the eclipse marketplace or a direct download from Google (Google ADT page).
That should give you enough information to get things rolling, but again I would strongly recommend trying to switch over to AndroidStudio. I think you will find the entire experience easier to get into and enjoy.
Here is the link :)
P.S. Why do people still use Eclipse while there is a GREAT tool for developing Android applications?
Can I use eclipse with java to create an Android app? One programmer said yes, but a programmer at IBM said no. I'm tring to put app on the android market.
Is it possible to just use the Eclipse IDE to create an android app or do I need to use a different IDE?
Yes, you can create Android apps using Eclipse. You'll have to install the Android SDK and ADT before you get started. Here are some guides to get you started:

Eclipse is the most popular. There are options such as IntelliJ IDEA, Netbeans.
The followings

will be helpful on how to export your app to android market.
Sure you can Java is one of the most popular languages to program in for android creation.
The MoSync IDE is based on Eclipse and is conveniently cross-platform. You might consider that.
However, there's a how-to for Android apps in Eclipse located at the Android Developer site.
Sure, you can use the Eclipse IDE for Android Development:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
While Eclipse is the most popular for developing Android applications, you can use other IDEs such as Netbeans and IntelliJ IDEA..
You can find more info at
http://www.nbandroid.org/ for Netbeans
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/google_android.html for IntelliJ IDEA
Personally I prefer Eclipse, but if you are uncomfortable using Eclipse you can use those IDEs.
I see another person asked this question and was answered but the other person was on a Mac. Also, I want to know why people are recommending the Classic Eclipse IDE. What is "Java EE"?
I'm on Windows 7 64-bit.
I'm new at using Java but I don't want to start off with something that will later need changing. If I am intending to write apps for Android Phones (and later tablets), which environment should I use?
I see the following options for download:
- Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
- Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
- Eclipse Classic 3.6.2
Thanks!
For a list of the different Eclipse editions, see http://eclipse.org/downloads/
"Java EE" is a release of Eclipse with all the features that are particular useful for Java EE development. Other similar editions are aimed at PHP, plug-ins, C++, etc.
Any of these can be used as the basis for Android development, but if you "just" want to development Android stuff and have no need for Java EE support, PHP or whatever, then choose "...for Java Developers", as it is the smallest available...
You can write in Javascript using titanium.It converts the code js to java or objective c.
I think this is the easiest way.It's the titanium link
You can use the Eclipse download for Java Developers and install Android Development Toolkit (ADT) plugin from Google.
Eclipse Pulsar which is intended for mobile developers is also available for from Eclipse downloads home.
If you are used to using Visual Studio on windows or other big IDEs, I'd recommend you use Eclipse for Java Developers.
If you are just getting started, I'd suggest you skip out on IDEs. For me, Eclipse was more trouble than I needed. Using VIM or Notepad++ and a batch file gives you great results.
I am basically bb programmer and i used NetBeans ,BB JDE for BB development.
I am partially switching over to android also.So i want to know how to use Eclipse IDE that should be compatible to Both Blackberry JDE and android SDK.
What is IDE' that needs to be downloaded
.I downloaded BlackBerry_JDE_PluginFull_1.0.0.67.exe.

Any Ideas will be useful

I use Eclipse for both Blackberry and Android development at the same time with no conflicts or issues. Your set up should work well.
I suggest using the Blackberry Update-Site to get the plugin installed:
