I just downloaded java JDK 8 and set the environment variables for JDK and JRE, downloaded android SDK extracted them directly to C: (there were no platform tools so I used the command line to download them) and also set the environment variables. And I downloaded eclipse oxygen and I installed new software for ADT Plugin. When I set preferences I referred to the SDK folder and hit apply but nothing seems to happen like no SDK targets are listed. Hhuhuhuhuhuhuhu T^T I have deleted everything from Java, SDK, eclipse and downloaded them all again while disabling my antivirus but that didn't fix it. I also cant open my Android SDK Manager using eclipse, like it shows that it's loading but after that nothing happens even if I wait for 10 mins nothing shows up on screen, not even the command line that seems to just flash briefly which is what most people are having problems with when I search google. Can someone please tell me what to do?? I'm mainly using eclipse for android projects in school
By the end of 2015, Google ended the development and official support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse.
As stated by Google, every app development project should be migrated to Android Studio.
So you should migrate your eclipse project to android studio.

So I am trying to create an apk via eclipse for a small app I created (one of my first) but after going through several tutorials I can't find the android option which is suppose to present in Export. My Eclipse version is Mars.2 Release (4.5.2). I am using Eclipse IDE for Java Developers.
You have to install the sdk first. It's not included in eclipse.
How to setup eclipse for android app development
A personal recommendation:
Use Android Studio, you will have to get used to it but after 3 months I prefer it over eclipse. Also you should consider it since google stopped supporting Eclipse. android studio is the official android IDE
I have downloaded the latest Android Studio and when I run studio64.exe it opens Android Studio as a standalone application, however I would like to install it to my system.
The website says there is an installation wizard however I get taken straight to the Android Studio start screen. Is there still a way to install it on a Windows machine?
Turns out that Android Studio is now portable - like Eclipse. In other words, there is no installing, you just get the zip file, which contains everything you need, such as the executables that run Android Studio. You'll need to store this folder somewhere relevant and create a shortcut to the studio(64).exe file to run it from desktop/start menu.
The SDK is also no longer bundled with Android Studio, so that will need to be downloaded separately.
As of this post the Android Studio installation instructions by Google are out of date.
you can get the sdk manager as stand alone installer.once installed you need to run it as "administrator", than only it will be able to download and install packages and api's. follow the given below link:
http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r23.0.2-windows.exe
Check if its in compatible mode with your OS version of your machine. Right click on the downloaded bundle > Move to properties> Compatibility tab> Select Compatibility tab> Tick the check-box- Run in Compatibility mode> Select your OS version from the drop down.
You will get the set up wizard :)
Worked for me :)
I am almost confused about these versions of Eclipse. There are indigo and Kepler which can be downloaded from Eclipse website. Another thing is, when I download the ADT inside its folder there is another executable file for Eclipse that when you execute it, a different logo than the previously mentioned versions appears with title Android Development Tools, is it also another version of Eclipse?
which one should I use? Or it is all about user preference?
You do not have to download Eclipse and Android SDK separately.Simply download the ADT bundle. It will have Eclipse, Android SDK, SDK manager to download APIs for various versions of android, USB driver etc. it will also have tools like adb. You can use it to start, stop server, view devices etc.
You should download the adt bundle, that comes bundled with the recomended version of eclipse. Just google that. It has support for all android needs.
Use the eclipse that comes with it, since it has all the needed plugins for developing for android.
The link to the ADT of the previous answer contains eclipse already.
I am using the ADT as well, but there is also an early access tool, called Android Studio, maybe this is more to your taste?

I read Lars Vogel's Android Development tutorial and then headed directly to the Android SDK download page.
I already have the Eclipse Java EE IDE (Juno; 4.2) installed, and would like to only install the Android SDK and then the ADT Eclipse plugin so I can start working from my existing Eclipse instance. As such, I downloaded the 64-bit linux (I'm on Ubuntu) "SDK Only" .tgz and extracted it to the my ~/sandbox/android-sdk directory.
Before I go and install the ADT Plugin, are there any "setup"/config steps with the SDK that I need to do ahead of time? If so, what? I'm even interested in optional tuning here. I only ask because the article referenced above is targeted at Windows users, and so are most of the other tutorials I've found. I'm worried that there might be some out-of-the-box functionality that the Windows SDK provides that must be dealt with manually for us Linux denizens. Thanks in advance!
From my experience, I believe the answer is no, there is nothing else you need to do before installing the ADT Plugin. If you wanted, you could open the SDK manager from ~/sandbox/android-sdk/tools/android and install some of the SDKs, but there's no reason you can't just do that from Eclipse after you install ADT.
im starting developing android applications and i learned from a Hello World tutorial. but when im running it this comes to the screen
Launch configuration ANSIBuffer references non-existing project Basic.
Please, help me and tell how i can run a android application.
Thanks
I would recommend downloading the official adt (android development tools) plugin for eclipse. You can find instructions on how to do that here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html you need to make sure that you have the most recent version of android sdk installed before you do that. Instructions on how to install that are here (this includes a eclipse tutorial): http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
I believe that that is all you need. Just ask if you need more help!
I did a guide once for a course, but it is in spanish:
http://otfusion.org/android/ (look for day 2)
But basically the guide is this:
Download JDK from here: Java SE - Oracle
Download Android SDK (.zip format, just unzip it in C:\android-sdk or if you are in *nix /home/user/android-sdk) from here: Android SDK - Developer Guide
Start ~android-sdk/tools/android and download your desired android target (eclair, donut, honeycomb, etc)
Download Eclipse for Java Developers* (as far I know, the latest eclipse WORKS on my notebook) from here: Eclipse - Indigo
Install eclipse in a readable/writable location like /home/user/bin or /opt/eclipse but give permission to the file - chown -r user:users /opt/eclipse (in Windows you must not have problems) otherwhise you will have problems.
Install ADT Plugin just add this site in Eclipse "Add Software" option (Help menu) https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Restart Eclipse
Start one AVD and initiate your project using the Run button (As Android project) or whatever hotkey you use.
