I've followed the instruction here for installing ADT, but I don't see any sign of ADT in Eclipse, except that it's installed.
According to what it says here, I should have additional project templates, which are missing. See the screenshots:
Besides reinstalling eclipse and reloading the ADT I have found another solution :
Inside Eclipse ->Window ->Customize Perspective ->Command Groups Availability ->Check All Android groups -> OK
That should solve any issues. Currently there are four (4) android groups.
Good luck guys!
You Simply need to Download the ADT Plugin. Please look at step by step guide 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
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.
I'm on Ubuntu and had the same problem as the poster. Had to run Eclipse as sudo and do the ADT install (into the same workspace as my non-root user account).
Restarted Eclipse as a non-root user and everything works.
I think you have to update JDK.
Please check JDK version.
#java -version
I've meet same problem when I use JDK 1.5 on ubuntu.
The answer is here: Android ADT Plugin doesn't show up in Eclipse
Actually, running as administrator on Win7 worked for me after uninstalling ADT.
Another thing is to execute eclipse with the parameter -clean after uninstalling ADT.
When you load the Android ADT plugins, using Help -> Install New Software, you need to have started Eclipse with "run as administrator". If you installed the ADT plugins without having run Eclipse as administrator, it might not work when you go to Windows -> Preferences...., and Android doesn't appear in the left panel.
make sure you have the latest jdk installed. that was the issue in my case
Somehow, your installation didn't register properly. Try removing ADT and reinstalling it.
To uninstall, go to Window > Preferences > Install/Upload, then click on the "Uninstall or update" link. Find ADT (and related software), remove, then try to reinstall.
I had to reinstall Eclipse and that solved the problem.

I'm trying to update my ADT to new version 23 so I found guides like this to perform the update:
Got to "Help > Install New Software"
List item
Click on "What is already installed?"
Remove any existing components that you wish to replace/update.
Once done, either install the new updated via the ADT url or download the zip and install from that .
But when I click on "What is already installed?" and try to unistall version 22 of ADT I get this error:
I'm really confused! Details say it cant remove eclipse.exe but if it remove it then my whole eclipse goes! Any help would be appreciated.
I solved my problem so describe here what I did maybe it save someone else!
1- to get rid of this error
disable your antivirus protection
make sure that your os user has full permisions for writing and deleting files
be sure your eclipse folder is in c:\
run eclipse as administrator
2- after this you can use the instructions I mentioned at my question to install newer version of ADT but remember don't restart eclipse after unistalling older version! even if eclipse says you must restart to changes take effect don't do that! it simply removes eclipse.exe so you don't have any exe file to start your eclipse again! So without restarting eclipse after unistalling older version of ADT plugin use ADT url and install newer version.
3- enjoy!
I updated my android sdk to and I tried updating my adt via ecplise through
Help-> Check for updates
This action results in the dialog that says:
no updates found
But my SDK says:
This android is SDK requires Android Development Kit 21.1.0 or above
Current version is 21.1.0.v201212060256-543035
Please update ADT to the latest version.
Help me out and you have my enormous undying gratitude.
Edit. 26/03/2016
Please note that Google Announced: Support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse has ended, so consider migration to Android Studio.
Solution:
The fastest installation way I found to solve that without deleting eclipse, or losing any data/settings:
Go here download latest version of ADT, current ADT-23.0.7.zip (*)
At Eclipse > Help > Install new software... > Uncheck Contact all update sites during install to find required software (bottom, last preference) in order to avoid any unwanted delays during install.
Same screen (top) Click Add > Archive > select downloaded ADT-X.X.X.zip > follow on screen installation steps
As a user mentioned in a comment if you still face problems on updating like that you may try removing the previous version of ADT before installation.
(*) Previous versions:
ADT-23.0.0.zip | ADT-23.0.2.zip | ADT-23.0.3.zip | ADT-23.0.4.zip | ADT-23.0.6.zip
ADT-22.6.0.zip | ADT-22.6.1.zip | ADT-22.6.2.zip | ADT-22.6.3.zip
ADT-22.3.0.zip
ADT-22.2.1.zip
ADT-22.0.0.zip | ADT-22.0.1.zip | ADT-22.0.5.zip
ADT-21.1.0.zip
Edit to fit the updates of ADT, this solution seems to work in any version :D
I had similar issue when upgrading to 22.6.1 and I got support from Android team. The solution was super simple.
You need to go Help - Install new software and choose there httpS:// (s is important) update site, and then execute installation.
Check out this solution on Android issue tracker.
I had another issue with ADT 23+.
My ADT plugin was out-of-date, but Eclipse was still saying that the latest version was already installed.
Installing manually the latest ADT version with the archive was not working either.
Eclipse was wrong so I made a clean install of ADT Plugins.
Uninstall ADT in Eclipse: Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details
Select the plugins then click on Uninstall...
Relaunch Eclipse
Install ADT again: Help > Install New Software...
I had the same problem. The command line update didn't work for me for some reason. It's some sort of bug that I haven't experienced in any update before this one. Here's what I did to fix it:
I deleted my eclipse installation
Downloaded a fresh copy of the sdk from the developer website
unzipped the sdk and copied only the eclipse folder
replaced my old eclipse folder with this one (deleted the rest of the download since I already had the sdk)
started up eclipse and pointed the workspace location to the old workspace I already had. All my projects were back as I had left them.
There might be other methods as well. This one seemed simplest to me. Others have suggested updating every eclipse component one by one and things like that but it seemed too tedious to me. If your eclipse installation is heavily customized and you have a lot of plugins installed then it might make sense to find an alternative. My install is always pretty minimalistic so I didn't mind throwing it away and starting from scratch.
Hope this helps!
And at the page Google for Android Development at link http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html#Troubleshooting
They say:
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/
For me - it's help.
If the solution of madlymad is not working, you could also try this solution which has worked for me.
In short: completely uninstall adt and then use the archive to install it again (as suggested above).
Without the uninstall i ran into conflicting jars.
Download Updated bundles here:
win32: Here
Unfortunately, you will NOT be able to update an existing installation. Just use a new copy of Eclipse and install the plugins using the update site, or use the bundle.
OR
You can fix this issue by removing all old Android plugins. Once you have removed all of the old Android plugins you can then install the new ones.
Open Eclipse
Select Help
Select About Eclipse SDK
Select Installation details
High light all Android plugins
Select Uninstall
Restart Eclipse
Then install the plugins again as normal
Restart Eclipse
At this point everything should be working again.

You can always try to update the SDK Tools and Platform tools outside Eclipse.
in CMD or Terminale type:
$ android
and the SDK manager will start.
(envirnment: Windows 7
Eclipse
)
When I update in Android SDK Manager, I have selected all SDKs, platforms, samples and so on. After restart Eclipse, when I try to access Android SDK Manager, I got this message:
Location of the android sdk has not been setup in the preferences
!
When I tried to locate SDK in Window->preference->Android,
I got This warning:
This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 21.0.0 or above. Current version is 20.0.3.v201208082019-427395. Please update ADT to the latest version.
!
I have tried to update latest ADT. It shows me: Cannot complete the request. See the error log for details. Android Development Tools will be ignored because it is already installed, and updates are not permitted.
Go to Help > Install New Software...
In "Work With" select "Android Developer Tools Updater Site"
(If not available, click Add... and enter: Name: Android Developer Tools Updater Site,
Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/)
Check "Developer Tools" and "NDK Plugins"
Location of the android sdk has not been setup in the preferences !
Go to Window > Preferences > Android and indicate where you installed the SDK.
This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 21.0.0 or above. Current version is 20.0.3.v201208082019-427395. Please update ADT to the latest version.
Go to Help > Check for Updates and update the Android-related plugins.
I have manually downloaded the ADT-22.3.0.zip and installed in eclipse. This worked for me hope this will help someone.
See the instructions below
If you are still unable to use Eclipse to download the ADT plugin as a remote update site, you can download the ADT zip file to your local machine and manually install it:
Download the ADT Plugin zip file (do not unpack it):
ADT-22.3.0.zip http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-22.3.0.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-22.3.0.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.
To update your plugin once you've installed using the zip file, you will have to follow these steps again instead of the default update instructions.
The same instructions can be found in this link http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
Why I put this answer?
Go to your eclipse, click on Help -> install new software -> Add... ->
type in 'ADT plugin' for name,
type in https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ for URL,
then a couple selections including ADT will show up in the window, click on the things you want to update then click okay, and you will be able to update your ADT.
I advise you to immediately click the "Add" button and fill fields like in the above quotation, because I have tried several times to install by selecting the "Work with .." etc. and the installation had an errors, and it was just a couple of times, and when I chose the "Add" button at the first time the entire installation was successful.
Maybe someone also had this problem.
Perhaps upgrading the Eclipse solving this problem .
I had the same problem , trying upgrading ADT online and offline(downloading the package from the site , but nothing change until I downloading the newer eclipse.
good luck!
I have tried all the above solution but unable to update the eclipse.
To update the eclipse firstly we have to uninstall the developer tools from the eclipse and reinstall it in the eclipse to resolve this issue.
I have Eclipse (Indigo Service Release 1, Build id: 20110916-0149) running on Win XP.
I've added
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
and installed 4 plugins, including ADT, and restarted Eclipse.
Installed software list shows Android plugins are installed.
But nothing appears in Preferences, and there are no Android-type project in New Projects.
Later I check Eclipse's directories and there were four *.jar archives with these Android plugins, and they weren't unzipped to corresponding directories (like other plugins). I unpacked them so directories same as *.jar names, and started Eclipse again, but nothing happens.
How can I work with ADT plugin in Eclipse?
I just had the same problem on windows 7 running Indigo. I eventually discovered that I had accidentally not run Eclipse as an administrator when I installed the ADT plugin. I solved the issue by uninstalling the ADT plugin, and then re-installing the ADT plugin when running Eclipse as an administrator. Once I did that Eclipse restarted and immediately prompted me for the location of my android SDK.
As far as steps go:
Run Eclipse as Administrator
Go to Help > About Eclipse SDK > Installation Details
Select Android DDMS, Android Development Tools, Android Hierarchy Viewer, and Android Traceview
Click Uninstall and click through the dialogs
Restart Eclipse at the prompt
Close Eclipse and re-run it as an administrator (not sure if this was necessary but I wanted be sure Eclipse had full permissions when I reinstalled the ADT Plugin)
Re-install the ADT plugin the way you did before.
Restart Eclipse at the prompt.
Q: Did you install the Android SDK?
You need to do this in addition to installing a) Java, b) Eclipse and c) the Android plugins for Eclipse
Here's one (of many!) "Quick Start Guides" for setting up Android on your development PC:
http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/developer/android-sdk-install-guide/
PS:
Please don't "unpack" anything, except unzipping Eclipse itself.
You might actually wish to delete your install and re-install from scratch (just to make sure there isn't anything "weird" in your environment).
Well i had this issue as well, but what i see its one componment that isnt on the google servers (at least for indigo) com.android.ide.eclipse.adt_20.0.0.v201206242043-391819.jar
you need download the ADT from google server ADT 20.00 and the install new software in help menu as always
In the Add Site dialog, click Archive.
Browse and select the downloaded zip file.
Enter a name for the local update site (e.g., "ADT-20.0.0.zip") in the "Name" field.
Click OK.
and done choose the ADT developer that i bet you dont have installed that should fix the problem ;)
I tried everything and nothing worked until I made my JAVA_HOME and PATH point to my JDK 6, they were pointing to the 5, then before installing the ADT plugin, make sure Eclipse is using the JDK 6 in Preferences/Java/Installed JREs. Of course make sure you are running/installing everything as an administrator.
You should install start SDK package (download), after that install android packages by windows/SDK manager. After that you§ll see everything you've mentioned
I encountered the same problem today, and a simple removal of the installed plugin is not helpful. My final solution is:
Remove the Android DDMS, Android Development Tools, Android Hierarchy Viewer, Android TraceView and Tracer for OpenGL ES first.
Remove the com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.package_version_info and other adt related jar directory under eclipse_home/plugins/. It is very easy to recognize based on its version_info on its name.
Modify the artifact.xml under eclipse_home, remove all artifact tag related with 'adt'.
Reinstall Android ADT again with Admin Privilege.
If you are going to reinstall as administrator make sure to remove the ADT Plugin from the Windows > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites.
Also something that may help is when installing the ADT Plugin you get the option for Developer Tools which the http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html guide tells you to select, but make sure to also select NDK Plugins.
And as usual do this while running as administrator. It probably doesn't make a difference but instead of clicking restart I closed Eclipse and reopened as administrator each time it was necessary.
As far as I can tell the NDK Plugin was the only thing I did differently when I finally got it to work.
I have Ubuntu , to make story short, I tried every advice here, nothing helped (reinstall, ADT removal- adding, run as sudo, deleting .eclipse folder etc).
The cause of problem was running eclipse updates.
So, I downloaded ADT bundle as zip - adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130729
unpacked it, run eclipse inside it, used existing workplace, and it worked, 'android' option appeared in Preferences.
However, there is no longer 'eclipse' splash logo at start-up, it's now called Android Developer Tools
Build: v22.0.5-757759
The real solution to this issue is that you MUST run Eclipse as an Administrator before you install. There are a number of plugins that have this same issue.
When I try to install the Android Developer Tool, I get the following error.
Software being installed: Android

I'm running Eclipse Indigo 64bit version. Could someone point me in the right direction? Or tell me where to find that missing package.
Head over to Help -> Install New Software. Click on Available software sites. Delete the Android repo. Uncheck Indigo & Eclipse updates & recheck them. Now head back to Help -> Check for updates. Once done, add the Android repo again. Accept the license & you should be good to go.
(Had to do the same yesterday after getting Indigo)
I had the same problem. This helped for me:
Go to Help->Install Software
Click on "Available Software Sites"
Click on Add:
Name: "Helios"
Location: "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios"
Try to install Android Development Tools
I got around the org.eclipse.wst.xml.core 0.0.0 issue by taking the following steps:
Go to help
Install New Software: Add Name: Indigo Location: "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo"
Select 'WST Server Adapters' under 'Web, XML, Java,..." (last name in list)
Accept licensing agreement
Restart Eclipse
Resume procedure to install ADT
It worked for me, hope it does for you too.
I had the same issue. The other solutions here didn't work for me because I couldn't even see the Indigo / Helios update repos. The problem was that Eclipse was in Program Files, but I wasn't running it as an administrator.
So I got indigo, and then :
Go to Help->Install New Software
Click on Add: Name: "Indigo" Location: "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo"
Try to install Android Development Tools (as you will see, only 1 option out of 4 will appear - this is normal for Indigo)
Ensure you have the option "Contact all update sites during install to find required software". This option is located in the lower left corner on the first screen after choosing Help/Add New Software. This is unchecked by default. This WILL FIX the issue if it was unchecked.
The plugin will install in 3.7 32bit and 64bit.
The Google Plugin for Eclipse depends on other specific Eclipse components, such as WST. Your installation of Eclipse may not yet include all of them, but they can be easily installed by following these instructions. Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo)
Select Help > Install New Software...
Click the link for Available Software Sites.
Ensure there is an update site named Indigo.
If this is not present, click Add... and
enter http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo for the Location.
Now go through the installation steps; Eclipse should download and install
the plugin's dependencies.
I've also had this problem. I solved it by going to:
Clicking -> available software sites
Select "Helios" and click Reload.
Select "ADT Plugin" and click Reload.
Then went back, tried again and it worked.
If you still can't get it working there are directions for doing it manually here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing
(also: I'm using 3.7 64x, it's working fine, not having any issues.)
I tried installing and got the same error (using the new "marketplace"). I tried the typical Help->install new software... then where it says "Work with:" I entered:
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
followed all the prompts and everything seems to be working fine now.
Execute eclipse with root level
$sudo /opt/eclipse/eclipse
Go to Help->Install Software.
Add the following link http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ .
Then press next and accept the license, it installs some of the software required then you will be gud to go.
After the eclipse restarts it prompts you to download the android sdk required or give the path of android sdk if already it is downloaded.
This works all the time what ever may be the version.
By the way, Eclipse + ADT (ADT Bundle) is now provided as a single package,
Developer.Android:ADT Bundle
None of the existing answers worked for me. Having all the correct update sites in "available sites" was not enough to tell Eclipse how to find its dependencies.
Using Fedora 14 and Eclipse Indigo 3.7.1, I had to follow these steps to make the installation working:
Check and install "Linux Tools" from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
Check and install "Linux Tools" from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/201109230900
After restarting Eclipse, I was able to finaly install the Android SDK.
Thanks to all for the posts but unfortunatley none of the above solved my problem. Eventually what got it all working for me was to download eclipse indigo 3.7.2 and (this is very important) EXTRACT IT DIRECTLY INTO MY PROGRAMS FOLDER. Before I would extract it to my desktop and copy into the programs folder (C:\Program Files) but I would jus get an error message saying "The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library" when trying to run eclipse.
After extracting eclipse directly to my programs folder I ran it and added the ADT plugin the way reccomended in on the android site and so far all is working well :)
I'm on a windows 7 x64 machine and had jre-7u2-windows-x64.exe, jdk-7u2-windows-x64.exe and installer_r16-windows.exe installed before extracting eclipse.
I hope this can help someone else too :)
Still pretty bewildering. It seems some combination of the above suggestions worked in Eclipse 3.7.2.
First, I had to move to a network that dl-ssl.google.com hasn't blocked (this is an ongoing problem with the Google server)
(Easy with a laptop, less so with my tower.)
The Eclipse folks should look at this problem.
The user sees an error, something about a missing package "org.eclipse.wst.sse.core', say.
There are 50 or so plugin repositories listed.
which of these is the one that has this package???
None has a name containing a 'wst' or 'sse'.
This is very poor. There needs to be a way for the user to associate the error message
with a repository solution.
Anyway: after some hunt-and-peck I ended up selecting
(and reloading each repository, and with Contact all update sites during install to find required software checked)
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ (ADT Plugin, which I
added according to the Google instructions)
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios (Helios Milestone
repository)
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6
(Eclipse Project Test Site)
One of these provided the packages needed for the Android plugin . Best guess: Helios.
The best answer (by Sathya) is also applicable in Eclipse Juno.
This seems to be fixed in Indigo Eclipse now, there's a video showing someone install android eclipse on youtube?

Eclipse Classic or Galileo is the two you can use. The other Eclipse IDE are not meant to program or interpret JAVA in the same way. Download either 64x or 32x will work on Classic or Galileo on a PC. Just make sure you PC can handle which version of Eclipse you download.
