I've got a strange problem. I am using Eclipse Indigo with ADT plugin for Android development.
My problem is that the Graphical Layout Editor is somehow outdated. It doesn't look like the version presented on android developers website. In my opinion, this version is maybe 3 years old, because in Google I/O 2011 there was presented a new version of this WYSIWYG editor. I think, I've got everything updated including Eclipse and Android SDK.
You can check the following things:
Eclipse Indigo is Version 3.7. We're currently at 4.3 SR1 (Keppler). You might want to replace your Eclipse with the current one. Note: You must download Eclipse from scratch. An Update Check for Updates... will update only within the current release (Indigo)
Within the graphical editor of Eclipse, check if you're using an up to date SDK Version and Theme:

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.
I am using Eclipse Ide for android development. As I updated Android SDK tool to its newer version 24.1.2, Now Eclipse is showing an error that "This version of the rendering library is more recent than your version of ADT plug-in. Please update ADT plug-in". I've checked update for ADT-Plugin several times but eclipse shows a popup with message "No Updates were found". what can i do?
You can manually download Eclipse ADT plugin from Android, and then install it in Eclipse by importing downloaded zip into eclipse.
Complete procedure with steps can be found on this link
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html#Troubleshooting
Update:
By the way, above link will provide you ADT-23.0.6.zip not 24.1.2
There is a note on above link
Note: If you have been using Eclipse with ADT, be aware that Android
Studio is now the official IDE for Android, so you should migrate to
Android Studio to receive all the latest IDE updates. For help moving
projects, see Migrating to Android Studio.
Update 2
Install ADT-23.0.6.zip, and it will work for SDK Tools r24.1.2.
http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
This version of ADT is designed for use with SDK Tools r24.1.2. If you
haven't already installed SDK Tools r24.1.2 into your SDK, use the
Android SDK Manager to do so.
Today I have update Android SDK tools & eclipse. Current SDK tools 24.0.1, Android development Tools 23.0.4.1468518, eclipse version 4.4.1. After update SDK & eclipse I create new project. In this project src folder is empty & res/layout folder also empty, activity & xml files are not creating. I have to manually create it.
I seen my answers like Link 1, Link 2 etc.
Answer like:- "
Try this
"Help" -> "Install new software" and install (this will update it) from this url: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/"
But I have already update it.But not solve my problem. So, How to create activity & xml automatically?

As I already said that ADT 23.0.4 and SDK 24.0.1 are not compatible to each other.
We have got another update to of Android SDK to 24.0.2 (May be their team read our this question and released an update so quickly). However this update has not been documented yet on this page but still you will be able to see it in your Eclipse's SDK Manager.
I updated my SDK to 24.0.2 and now it is working fine. You too can try to update your Android SDK to 24.0.2 and hopefully everything will work fine.

The ADT Plugin for Eclipse and Android SDK both should be compatible to each other for making Eclipse do such things automatically.
But it seems like ADT 23.0.4 (Released in October 2014) and SDK Tools, Revision 24.0.1 (Released in December 2014) are not compatible to each other.
We should expect an update to ADT plugin soon which will be compatible with SDK tools 24.0.1.
You can check from the documentation:
For SDK Tools, Revision 23.0.4 (October 2014) they have mentioned the following points.
Android SDK Platform-tools revision 19 or later.
If you are developing in Eclipse with ADT, note that this version of SDK Tools is designed for use with ADT 23.0.4 and later.
If you notice,
But for SDK Tools, Revision 24.0.0 & 24.0.1 (December 2014), They have only mentioned
Android SDK Platform-tools revision 19 or later.
And if you check this document then you will find for SDK 23 or earlier with each revision the compatible ADT version was mentioned but only with 24 they have not mentioned anything yet. So the compatible version is yet to come.
I had same issue but in the end had to undo my update to SDK tool to back to 23.0.4.
If you want to undo your update you can follow the following simple steps:
Download the older ADT plugin manually.
Extract the contents and copy the tools folder from there.
Go to your SDK installation directory and replace the tools folder.
Your SDK will be back to 23 version and everything will start working again.
Try running your Android SDK Manager again, install any available updates for the Tools category and after that select Help > Check for Updates from the Eclipse menu (installing any detected updates here too which should then restart Eclipse).
I was getting the same problem before and it started working again after I have Android SDK Tools version 24.0.2 installed after the above process.
Try this: when creating a new android application use "Empty Activity" instead of "Blank Activity".
This will fix the problem immediately.
Sometimes you have to reinstall eclipse after it crashes. That's why it is a good idea they made it portable. But you can try to go back from the about eclipse uninstall component. But in my experience if you blew the ini and all that maybe the fastest way is to reinstall especially when there are so many dependencies like in adt.
You can also install regular eclipse and android plugin you don't have to use only adt. And maybe eclipse is more stable like that
Another thing you need to recompile the project probably
I'm trying to do this tutorial after having installed Eclipse Juno 4.2 service release 2 (Java EE distribution) und following exactly the GWT installation instructions over here.
However, I neither get the WindowBuilder entry under Preferences, nor is there a WindowBuilder entry in the new projects dialog appearing. What am I doing wrong?
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.02 LTS on amd64, and I have tried oracle jdk 7u17 and Ubuntu's own jdk6 distribution, but to no avail...
Just tried the same in Win2k3. Exact same result. Google is starting to annoy me. GWT 2.5.1 throws an error when trying one of my simplest projects...
Update: it is working to some extent. Meaning: WindowBuilder does not recognize GWT Designer's installation and offers to install GWT Designer for Eclipse 3.7. The designer toolbar's GWT selection possibilities therefore are not there.
Update: bug filed.
Update: bug was closed as won't fix. They don't care.
They do care. GWT is a magical development environment, under constant evolution.
They have to race with new versions of browsers, Javascript and releases of Eclipse, so sometimes tiny things may not be always documented up to date. The tutorial you are trying to run is made for GWT Designer 2.3, GPE 2.3, Eclipse 3.7 & Java 1.6.
This tutorial works also perfectly well for Juno 4.2 SR2 with a few minor changes:
In step 1, just Create a Web Application Project. You can generate project sample code, make sure that things work and then clean it up and stick with the folder layout.
In step 3, just add a class and make it extend com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Composite. Add an empty Constructor and then you can open the GWT Designer as always, in order to do the rest. The CSS styleName property has been improved. There are tool-tips to guide you.
PS: My tests were made in Ubuntu12.04-32bit, WinXP-32bit and Win7-64bit with JDK1.7.0_17-32bit and Eclipse-32bit.
In case the designer tab does't show up by default, I noticed that I can get it by right-clicking the .java on the package explorer and selecting 'open with ...' 'WindowBuilder Editor'.
I am trying to create a UI for a java web app using Vaadin.
I am using Eclipse for this purpose, and I have installed the Google Plugin for Eclipse (which includes GWT SDK) as well as the Vaadin plugin for eclipse.
I created a new project using New Project-> New Vaadin Project... but I am seeing an error message in Eclipse console "GWT SDK not installed."
How do I resolve this error? I have already installed Google Plugin for Eclipse which includes GWT SDK.
Thanks...
Check in 'Preferences->Google->Web Toolkit' if you have existing SDK marked as default. Sometimes, after installing or unistalling other plug-ins, this may get reset to some older, not anymore existing, SDK version.
Also, make sure you have the default (or any other existing SDK) selected in project properties under 'your project->properties->Google->Web Toolkit->GWT SDK'.
Today I resolved this issue (which cropped up after a GWT SDK update on a perfectly working setup) by going to project Properties/Builders and moving the GWT "Google Web Toolkit Project Validator" up to just below Java Builder. I'd tried everything I could think of before that, including uninstalling and re-downloading the SDK, checking default and specific SDK's, trying older ones, editing .classpath entry manually.
Just in case poor some soul follows the path I went through. Using Eclipse Indigo.
help->check for updates
Update all libraries
then:
right-click the project, choose Project Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries
remove invalid GWT library, if any
choose Add Library, choose Google Web Toolkit
If an unknown version of the sdk is selected, click the Configure SDKs link and remove old versions or at least select the current, valid version.
Then, do a Project->clean just to be on the safe side, and your project should now build.
This worked for me using Eclipse Helios.
