I am looking into using android plugin in eclipse.
I can't understand the instructions:
Once Eclipse restarts, you must specify the location of your Android
SDK directory:
In the "Welcome to Android Development" window that appears, select
Use existing SDKs. Browse and select the location of the Android SDK
directory you recently downloaded and unpacked. Click Next.
What recently downloaded SDK?
It's easier to just install the ADT bundle, it comes with the SDK, ADT and eclipse all bundled together. So all you have to do is download, unpack, install some packages and run eclipse..
here is the URL developer.android.com/sdk/

I have recently updated from the deprecated Google Plugin for Eclipse to the new Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse.
After adding in the "Web App Libraries" through the "Add Library" section (shown above), I can see when expanding (see below) that I've imported older versions of the Google App Engine SDK for Java, version 1.9.48. The current version at the time of this post is 1.9.57, available on the App Engine SDK for Java page.
But there's nothing about where to place this update so it's recognized. I already have 1.9.51 on my computer, but the plugin is using 1.9.48 only.
How can we update Eclipse so "Web App Libraries" imports the latest App Engine SDK? This used to be much easier with the old deprecated plugin, as we could import the SDK bundle via the "Google" menu.
Importing libraries does not seem to be the preferred way to install the SDK. It is more effective to follow the instructions in the "Quickstart" for Eclipse, namely:
1) Install Eclipse IDE 4.5 or later:
2) Install the latest version of the Google Cloud SDK:
3) Run the following command to add the gcloud component that includes the App Engine SDK for Java:
gcloud components install app-engine-java
Preferences-->Google--> Appengine
choose your Sdk,by defaults the choosed one will be added to the build path of any new project
My project somehow got locked to a particular version. To fix it:
Windows -> Preferences -> Google Cloud Tools -> Untick "Choose SDK".
I would like to develop an Android app using the Gluon Mobile framework.
I installed the Gluon plugin in my Netbeans IDE, created a sample project and built it successfully.
Now I would like to deploy the app to an Android device. I'm referring to the online documentation [1]: http://docs.gluonhq.com/charm/4.2.0/#_getting_started
As in [1], section "2.1.3. Android", I downloaded Android Studio 2.2.3 and installed the build-tools version 23.0.1 and the SDK Platform for API 21 from the Android SDK Manager.
However I can't see/install the "Android Support Library" from the Extras menu (Yes, I marked the "Obsolete" box).
Not surprisingly, I get the following error message, when I use "right click on my Netbeans-Project -> Tasks -> android -> android":
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Failed to capture snapshot of input files for task 'mergeClassesIntoJar' during up-to-date check.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\android\support\multidex\library\libs\android-support-multidex.jar (Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden)
Indeed, the file "android-support-multidex.jar" is not available since the "Android Support Library" is not installed.
How can I install the "Android Support Library"?
Any help is very much appreciated!
It has been asked here and here, but since the answers are in different contexts, maybe it's worthy having a summary here.
Up until version 1.2.0, the jfxmobile plugin has been working with the obsolete Android Support Library.
Now this library is not only obsolete but not available any more for download.
The current version of the jfxmobile plugin is 1.3.2, and it includes the required changes to work without that library, and use the multidex-1.0.1.aar library instead.
To make it work, just follow these steps:
Open the Android SDK Manager and make sure you have installed Extras/Google Repository and Extras/Android Support Repository.
Make sure you have this library: ANDROID_HOME/extras/android/m2repository/com/android/support/multidex/1.0.1/multidex-1.0.1.aar.
Now on your project:
Update the build.gradle file of your project to use the jfxmobile plugin current 1.3.2 version
If you add to the android configuration the android SDK path, you should move it to a properties file. For that, just create a properties file under C:\Users\<user>\.gradle\gradle.properties, and add the ANDROID_HOME variable: ANDROID_HOME=C:/<path.to.Android>/sdk. And remove the androidSdk from the android block if it was added.
Save and reload your project so the new configuration takes place (On the projects tab, root of the project, right click, Reload Project).
EDIT
If you are on Windows, make sure that Android SDK is installed under a location where gradle will have enough permissions to create folders and extract the .aar file.
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 downloaded the package and unzipped it. When I click SDK application,black screen blinks for a fraction of second but sdk interface doesn't open.When I open it through eclipse, an error says "An outline is not available"?
There are 3 components in the package, namely Eclipse folder, SDK folder and SDK manager application.
The SDK application does not show the android icon. So I think there's some problem with the application.
Check out these snapshots :

I have the latest version of JDK installed. It's X64 for 64bit OS.
Did you try window-->sdk manager? if it didn't work either try copying the sdk application and paste it in the sdk folder and try again
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.ht
Get Eclipse as well as SDK from this link it contain both
After Installing JDK just open Eclipse from Eclipse folder it will automatically take SDK location.
I recommend you to download Eclipse ADT version 22.6.3, you can download it from:
http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-22.6.3.zip
Also,if you can't launch the SDK there are two ways, go to SDK - tools - android.bat, it will launch the SDK :)
I have previously installed intelliJ 13 and android SDK and configured correctly. Now I downloaded Eclipse with built-in ADT(in that with all default components), which also includes essential Android SDK components (API 19). When I opened AVD Manager in Eclipse, it showed the AVDs that I created previously when using intelliJ. I opened the SDK Manager in Eclipse folder, and it showed that
Although I can see in Eclipse
My question is whether Eclipse and intelliJ shared the same ADT Manager source folder and why the Android SDK Manager in Eclipse showed that components in API19 are not installed.
If you open the Project Structure dialog File | Project Structure in IntelliJ you will be able to view Platform SDK settings. Check to see if the paths are the same for both IDEs
