For programming the Android, which Eclipse do I need ? (I means Eclipse for c++ or java or ...)
The Eclipse for Java Edition would be approriate http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/heliosr
As the documentation says, "A Java or RCP version of Eclipse is recommended."
What really matters is that the ADT plugin works on Eclipse 3.5 at this point, 3.6 has issues. Beyond that, you can essentially install it on any of the versions of Eclipse.
Why? Because the plugin manager can download plugins and dependencies, and the difference between editions is what plugins they're shipped with...

I have Scala IDE installed and I want to add the Android SDK Tools to it. I'd rather not download the ADT Bundle and have 2 different copies of Eclipse on my system.
Can the SDK Tools be safely installed into Scala IDE, and how? Also will there be any further dependencies to install, or does Scala IDE contain everything needed for the SDK? I'm rather new to Eclipse and Android and I don't want to risk messing something up.
Why don't you just try ? :)
Both Scala IDE and the Android SDK are available as plugins for Eclipse (Scala IDE, Android SDK). And there is an extra plugin useful to simplify the configuration of a Scala + Android project (AndroidProguardScala). All the needed dependencies should get pulled automatically.
Finally, there is a short tutorial to tweak the example Android app for Scala. I didn't test it with the latest versions of everything, but it used to work very well.
On a side note, I would advise you to setup different Eclipse for different purposes. It is usually an better idea than trying to cram all the features you may need in one Eclipse installation.
I have downloaded android-ndk-r8b.zip(180MB),but I want to know if I need to download anything else?
I am using the NDK because I want to use C/C++ native code (used in tesseract3.0 project) in my android library.
I am using Eclipse IDE(Indigo).
I also installed the following
installed CDT from Eclipse update site http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/indigo.
installed Android SDK + NDK Plugins from Eclipse update site https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
If you want to code under Indigo you do not need anything else, however i found Eclipse to be an horrible IDE for C and C++ and i suggest to code with just a text editor and a terminal because it's just more flexible and reliable.
To develop in android using eclipse you need: Android-SDK, Android-NDK and eclipse plugin.
If you use windows you also need to install cygwin version 1.7 or greater.
You need gnu Make 3.81 or later and a recent gawk (include them during cygwin installation).
See http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adt.html for the detailed explanations. In addition to eclipse and SDK, you should install ADT Plugin. Form version 20, the plugin supports native development, in addition to java.
I downloaded Eclipse-Juno Version: 4.2.0.
But I am not able to install Android ADT on it. I am getting this error:
requires 'org.eclipse.wst.sse.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
System Configurations: Win-7, 32-bit
I tried installing ADT-15.0.1 and ADT-16.0.1, but they are not working.
I know the same issue is faced with versions lower version than 3.7, but why also with 4.2?
What package of Juno did you install? ADT requires part of the WST project, but I suspect that the Juno package you have doesn't include WST and probably doesn't include the update repository to automatically get it.
EDIT: Try using the Eclipse for Java EE Developers package as your starting point, as it includes WST features. Alternatively, you could try adding the Juno update site to your Eclipse and see if ADT gets it's required features. The Juno update site is http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/
Yes, I installed Juno and that package I installed did not come with WST either.
I fixed this same problem by adding Juno update site at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/. You will find WST under "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development. For my own purpose I simply installed everything under this category and the problem went away.
try this https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-eclipse-4.2
or use this -- > http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2 <-- for instal android
works for me
Glad I came across this question! That said though, it appears I only needed to install the Eclipse XML Editors and Tools part of Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development to resolve this. Cheers!
Install in eclipse:
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2
It works well for me too.
I had the same problem which I solved by downloading ADT-20.0.0.zip. I think different versions of eclipse support different versions of ADT.
I'm thinking to begin Android app development. What's the better IDE?
Now I'm using Xcode for objective-C language, but I don't know if use it also for Java development.
I would like to use Eclipse for Mac.
Eclipse is the best. It's supported by android team and they have an ADT plugin for eclipse
ADT plugin
Another alternative is the IntelliJ Idea IDE from jetbrains. If you like this IDE better you can use it, but the tools for developing Android apps are better in Eclipse, because they are more up to date.
I want to know which Eclipse IDE to use for android development.
The following url http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ shows a lot of option.
Right now i am using Mac OS X v 10.6.4.
"We recommend the "Eclipse Classic" version. Otherwise, you should use a Java or RCP version of Eclipse."
Quote from Android Developers: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
Take the second - Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, 99 MB
Here's a link to Android SDK requirements.
Looks like Eclipse 3.6.2 (Helios) or greater is required at the time of this answer. Because you'll be using the ADT Plugin for Eclipse, check out this page for Eclipse version requirement and other info. The version will probably always match the one stated on the SDK page.
If you decide on Eclipse IDE for Java Developers from the above package, get it here.
