I am pretty new to coding. I help run a small charity and a friend of a friend set up a website for us which I have been running for the last few years. I have managed to sort things out with a lot of copy and pasting and trial and error but I have now hit a wall.
I could not deploy to the server so I went back and reinstalled everything. I got further with the process this time but then it told me to update the SDK. I downloaded the newest SDK but cannot add this to my project in eclipse.
I have learned a lot over the years but I am still pretty dense when it comes to certain things. Find error image here
If anyone can help and explain it in laymen terms I'd appreciate it.
Many Thanks
Here you can find information about how to manage the Cloud SDK in Cloud Tools for Eclipse.
You can either allow Cloud Tools for Eclipse to download and install
an SDK for you, or you can point it to a specific SDK you've installed
outside of Eclipse.

I'm having an issue starting my android development as I've tried multiple solutions off this site for getting past eclipse not building blank activities and its not letting me begin my development and I have also tried updating and downloading the SDK but all my attempts have all deemed unsuccessful, could this be because I'm using eclipse mars.
My recommendation would be to start using intelliJ IDEA. Just becouse you can do almost everything inside that one program and it seems to be faster than android studio for me.
Here is the download link: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
I am trying to develop an apps with google maps features, so I followed a few tutorials and I realized that making this apps requires the project to use google play service libs library.
But I have problem with the CPU usage when trying to run the project on my AVD which cause the eclipse won't even run the project and keeps loading and I had to force close my Eclipse.
My task manager
So I tried to pinpoint the problem by making new blank android project and try to run the project as I follow the tutorial step by step.
And I found out that as soon as I add the google play libs to my project, I can't run the project anymore because of the CPU usage problem.
My library used
I have downloaded the latest verison of the google play service (rev 27) from my SDK manager.
Can anyone please help me? thanks a lot..
Problem solved when I stopped using Eclipse and started using Android Studio
I'm fairly new to the world of coding, but I took a Java class last fall and I really excelled in it, and I'm anxious to keep the ball rollin. We talked a little bit about Android development in class, and I'm certain that if I could just get Netbeans set up properly, I could really do a lot with it. I managed to get Xcode set up to use SDL using the Lazy Foo guides, but I haven't had any luck finding a similar guide for setting up Netbeans for Android development in OS X.
The closest I could find was this:
Setting up your Development Environment
But the directions seemed kind of vague to me, and I ended up getting stuck when I ran the libGDX setup JAR file, and I got this message: "You have no build tools! Update your Android SDK with build tools version: 20.0.0" but I already did download the Android SDK, so I don't know what's wrong!
I have lots of books on Android development, but nothing on actually setting up my chosen IDE! There must be a step by step tutorial on this out there somewhere, right?
Thanks.
Here do the following
1)download the latest version of jdk install it and set up your environmental variables.
2)download android studio and use it.
3)happy coding
I am running Windows 7 32-bit Starter OS and I wonder if anyone would be willing to help walk me through the set up for the Java SDK, Eclipse "Indigo" IDE and Android SDK/ADT set-up as I have basically made a bloody mess of it.
I am working out of a couple of books whose instructions are more or less: "go to the download page and follow the instructions" and of course I have, but I keep hitting a brick wall and I am going to delete, re-download, and re-install the entire set-up starting from scratch in the morning.
I was using App Inventor, and had no appreciation of how much work was being done for me behind the scenes until I jumped off into this and will probably try to go back to it if and when Google completes the hand-off of the software to MIT and makes the sourcecode public like they are saying next year. Hmmmm.......
If I can work this out, I will make a click-by-click tutorial out of it and post it for others -who are bound to be having the same issues- to use... it's a rough thing to try to work out something starting from jump street and not knowing where to go when its holding up your entire operation.
I come looking for help -but will help back in return and have lots of stuff I can help with... GUI design is one area I see a lot of folks needing help with- simple little things sometimes make an unbelievable difference, etc.
Anyway if someone will help, point to help, or mention anything that will help, I will be glad.
I also have a list of compiler/console errors and warnings that I am getting when I try to import/run the example code from the books I am working out of -if that will tell anyone anything-. Also glad to receive e-mails about this from anyone.
Kind Regards, mark-p.
http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html is one of the best step by step on-line instructions on how setup your development environment
I successfully installed Android SDK in my Windows 7 machine last week and that too with all the latest updates.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html is itself a good resource. These instructions are applicable to the latest JDK version 7, Eclipse Indigo, and SDK Version 15.
The basic steps would be:
Download Install JDK 7 from Java site.
Download Eclipse Indigo as you would have done already.
Install the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Use the latest installer available ( Currently installer_r15-windows.exe). Note that this installation will install the sdk into Program Files\Android by default.
Run Eclipse. Go to Window -> Preferences. You will see a Android tab on the left if your SDK was installed properly.Ensure that your SDK location is same as your actual installation path.
5.Install the ADT Plugin for Eclipse.Go to Help->Install New software. Check http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing for detailed instructions.
Now go to Window-> Android SDK Manager.This should launch a window and the SDK Manager will try to retrieve the list of installed/available packages from the Google repository. Make sure that your internet connection is correct. If your are using a proxy server, go to Tools of SDK Manager and give the IP and port of the proxy server. I believe I wasted a lot of time since I missed the proxy settings. Also you may need to force https:// to http request.
The above step should list out a set of packages including Android 4.0(API 14) which is the latest platform available today. Select the different packages and on installation and restart of Eclipse, you should be ready to start with your Hello Android program.
I just installed Eclipse Classic to develop a BB app in Java..
Im following this steps bit im stuck trying to install the BlackBerry Java Plug-in item cause it tells me the plugin requires 'org.eclipse.ui' but I cant figure out how to install that.. Im pretty sure I need to add a repository to the eclispe sites but I cant find the address... anyone care to give me a hand??
thanks in advance
What version of eclipse are you running?
The BB plugin is compatible with 3.5 only; trying to install on 3.6 will cause these issues.
Also, I would strongly recommend installing throgh the eclipse plugin updater/installer to avoid issues later - the standalone installer doesn't play nicely with updates to the plugin version the last I tried it.
The update URL to use if you go this route is http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.5/java -- you will also need to register for a blackberry developer account (free) if you decide to go this route: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/ (You will be prompted for login credentials during plugin installation.)
