Owing to problems with the upgrade to SDK2.3, I now need to back out to an earlier version. Fortunately I had saved a cutdown version of SDK 2.1 which would allow me to continue development. However I upgraded my Eclipse pluigin to 8.0.0, which expects a 2.3 SDK environment. Eclipse now complains that it's now missing the new platform-tools folder when I point the SDK location to the old 2.1 version and won't allow me to compile.
I need to uninstall the 8.0.0 plugin and replace it with 0.9.9 but there is no option to download it on the can't find it on the developer.android pages.
Found it!
Although it's not visible on the site, typing
http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-0.9.9.zip
into the browser lets you download the thing. I've finally managed to back out to where I was 2 days ago before 'upgrading' to SDK2.3

Can anyone here please provide me with the proper link for Android SDK and Installation of SDK for Eclipse Mars, I have searched a lot, but I didn't find anything other than Android Studio,
I am using eclipse because android studio is not working on my laptop, its very heavy and my laptop takes more time to open and run the program,
so If any one has the better knowledge for downloading and installation, then please provide me here..
and What I am trying to looking at Android developer website, they changed it for only Android Studio. Whenever I open any old link, it is redirecting me to Android Studio, is It true?? Please provide me with some more detail about it.
Thank you
You can download eclipse ADT plugin from here (note that it is not the latest).
Also, there is one more helpful link for getting latest available releases for eclipse (ADT 23.0.7 since August 2015).
By the way, at least for me is very confusing that Android Studio working worse than eclipse. I found that Android Studio is far better than eclipse (but that is only my personal opinion).
Anyway, that is more important: Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android and migration to it is recommended. Eclipse is not supported anymore.
How about you download Eclipse Neon with the Andmore project?
While Eclipse is not officially supported by Google, this project has forked the Android ADT plugin and is being maintained on the side.
I have been working on a project and unfortunately updated android SDK tools and installed Google API in Eclipse. Now it comes up with an error The android SDK requires ADT version 23.0.0 or above (However I have installed ADT bundle just 2 days ago and unable to find the updated version when I check for Install new Software in Windows menu) and my project is not compiling as well with errors build path is incomplete , unable to resolve target android-10. As before it was all working fine.
I have also tried various ways to fix by deleting the libraries from Java Build Path and restarted the project and shifting the work space nothing works for me. A bit frustrated.
I faced the same issue sometime back.The best solution to this is to download the ADT again from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html however i would recommend switching to Android Studio.
There are a few other ways to restore the same but the it's not worth the time you'll have to invest into that.
I currently have Android SDK Platform-tools 14 installed. (Edit: Seems to be the current version)
Since this has a bug that makes Logcat unusable and it seems to be fixed in newer versions, Id like to update it.
How can this be done?
SDK Mangager.exe does not find a newer version than 14. I restarted it multiple times and installed all available updates.
The android page says the current version is 20 but they don't provide a download.
Installing the latest SDK starter package doesn't solve it.
Screenshot:
The Google page is talking about the tools not for platform tools.Actually there are two different folders in SDK one is tools and one is platform-tools so as per the latest release there latest version is
for platform-tools :platform Tools
for tools :Tools
so if you are having problem just download the zip and replace the old one with new one installed.
if you are getting problem with the new catlog use the old one (LogCat-Deprecated).
Launch standalone SDK manager and not from Eclipse. It then should fetch list of available packages and offer you to update all old packages, as your ADT v14 is quite ancient.
Alternatively, if everything else fail, you always can fetch ADT by hand from http://tools.android.com, unpack tools to your , replacing old stuff and then installing Eclipse plugin. Please note you need to download both and install as latest version will not work with outdated packages.
Please help me with fixing the following error:
This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 14.0.0 or above.
Current version is 12.0.0.v201106281929-138431. Please update ADT to the latest version.
I am facing this error problem when I am using Eclipse.
This error happens due to an incompatibility between ADT and SDK.
To fix it:
Eclipse > Help
Install New Software
Add this to Work With section and press enter
After developer tools appears on the list, check it and click Next
Restart eclipse once download is finished
Similar problem was already discussed here: Eclipse: won't let me use Android SDK, wrongly claims my ADT is out of date
The reason is that you have updated android sdk but your android adt plugin is not up to date. So updating your Eclipse plugin would resolve the problem.
In Eclipse go to Help.
Select the "Install New Software" menu item.
From this dialog, click the "Add..." button. This will bring up a new, smaller dialog.
Enter the Name "ADT" and Location: "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/"
after loading you will get Developer Tools and NDK Plugins
check both if you want or check Developer Tools.
click Next
Accept licenses, and Finish
if you don't want to update your ADT version, you can do this for fix your problem.
modify ${android-sdk}/tools/lib/plugin.prop plugin.version to your current version, restart eclipse.
# begin plugin.prop
plugin.version=22.3.0
# end plugin.prop
enjoy it.
For those of you who are experiencing this problem:
Eclipse says the ADT needs an update
-You click to check for updates
-It tells you there are no updates
You need to run Eclipse as administrator. This will immediately fix the problem.
Eclipse -> Help -> Check for updates
Check 'Android Development Tools' and install the update
As a general rule, the version of the ADT plugins in Eclipse are paired to a specific SDK version. It's not very well documented, but if you update one at any point, you need to update the other. The version number of the tools and the plugins are usually in sync, but in some cases, they aren't. In fact, right now (June 27) the SDK is version 19 and the plugins are 18. Of course, that will change later today when Google IO starts. The intent is to keep the version numbers in sync, but it doesn't always work out that way.
You can get the older versions of ADT and/or the SDK from the Android tools site. In some cases, you have to figure out the secret for the URL to directly download the older packages, but they are there.
It shouldn't be necessary though. The plugins and the SDK work with all prior versions of the platform, so you should always be safe installing the latest SDK and plugins directly from the Android Developers site.
I have successfully installed Level 13 (3.2) during the Android SDK installation, but chose not to include any earlier levels at that time.
I now would like to install 2.2 or 2.3, but in the SDK / AVD manager I get the message:-
Failed to fetch URL
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list.xml, reason:
File not found
I've looked this up in other posts and so run the SDK manager with Administrator permissions, and have turned off the firewall. Eventually, it comes back with SDK tools revision 15, and SDK PLatform tools revision 9 only.
Should I have installed earlier packages during setup?
Would an uninstall / reinstall cure this behaviour? (Reluctant to do
this :-( for obvious reasons)
Is it possible to get earlier levels having installed just level 13?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.
Old Android SDK tool (r13 and earlier) fetch/download available SDK from here repository, after google release r14 and r15, they remove all SDK verion and only leave r15 in this URL, that means they want you use the latest SDK tool r15.
New Andorid SDK tool (r14 and r15) fetch/download available SDK from a new URL repository-5, which contains everything downloadable.
If you are not using anything else like Maven (currently incompatible with latest ADT) with your project, the simplest answer is upgrade both your Android SDK tools and ADT Eclipse plugin.
I just setted up my android environment yesterday - try to download the package manually and load them as Archive files, this worked for me! ;)
