I am using Eclipse Indigo on Windows 7 and have repeatedly tried to install the ADT Plugin for android but to no avail. I have tried: using Eclipse 3.6, downloading the .ZIP file, checking for updates and trying again, using the "http" protocol instead of the "https" in the repository. None of them worked.
However, whenever I try to install it, it either freezes at "calculating dependencies and requirements" or says
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Android Development Tools 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534)"
Someone please help, I desperately need android for my projects.
Run Eclipse as Administrator, if you're not already.
What package of Eclipse did you download? Perhaps the package you have doesn't include some pre-requisite that ADT needs.See if my answer to this question help solve your problem.
Also, it would help to see more of the failure reason. We know you're trying to install ADT, what's important is what comes after that, the part that tells which requires items can't be found.
It seems this issue is due to proxy. Please try to download plugin locally, by link:
dl.google.com/android/ADT-16.0.1.zip
extract zip file.
In Eclipse go to help-> install new software-> Select add
Select to local, and browse to your downloaded package. If problem still persists, try without proxy.

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 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 tried to install the ADT to eclipse (indigo) the following error came up:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1316138547364 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1316138547364)
Missing requirement: Shared profile 1.0.0.1316138547364 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1316138547364) requires 'org.maven.ide.eclipse [1.0.100.20110804-1717]' but it could not be found
What does this mean? How can I fix this?
I have the 64 bit versions of eclipse and jdk, and I tried to install the ADT through the Eclipse Marketplace, same error came up... and I tried to install the eclipse classic... an error came up that said it couldn't find the shared libraries...
It seems that you have to run Eclipse as administrator.
It's an Eclipse bug, see:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=350645
You shouldn't need to be administrator to install additional plugins...
Remove the ADT repo (Window->Preferences->Install/Updates->Available Software Sites)
Add Indigo repo ("http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo")
Run updates
Add ADT repo again and install
I had this problem and it was driving me nuts!!! Tries everything listed on here but nothing and couple of other ideas from other sites. Finally figured out since I was on $%# &^$% VISTA that I had to move my Eclipse folder out of c:\program files to users. That fixed it. Thanks to all who had ideas as I could not have figured it out without the other help.
When I try to install the Android Developer Tool, I get the following error.

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.
I've installed the Android SDK and the ADT plugin, but Android doesn't show up in the Window>Preferences... dialog.
I'm running Galileo. If I go to the Installation Details part of the About Eclipse dialog, it says that I have 0.9.6 of Android DDMS and Android Development Tools. I can run adb from the command line. I tried going around the uninstall/reinstall loop once.
I'm on Windows Vista. I also have 2.7.7 of the Scala plugin installed, but I tried uninstalling that.
Any ideas on what I should try next? Thanks.
Is your eclipse installation running from the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folder?
This was my case and I had this particular problem and a few more.
What I did was to place a fresh copy of Eclipse in a different folder (e.g. c:\dev), launch it and to install the Android Plug-in using the Eclipse Update and it seems to work fine now.
I did not need to download again the Android SDK.
Sounds like you are missing a dependency. What you're describing happened to me once (I can't remember for sure, but I think it was with adt).
From http://developer.android.com/intl/de/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing:
Note that there are features of ADT
that require some optional Eclipse
components (for example, WST). If you
encounter an error when installing
ADT, your Eclipse installion might not
include these components. For
information about how to quickly add
the necessary components to your
Eclipse installation, see the
troubleshooting topic ADT Installation
Error: "requires plug-in
org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui".
I had the same problem. Seems to be related to where Eclipse is installed, the path should not contain spaces, like David suggested.
I installed a fresh copy of Eclipse to c:\Dev and installed the ADT. Now everything works fine.
