I just set up the android sdk with home-brew on my MacBook Pro. The android sdk is stored in usr/local/share/android-sdk . Because I also do Java development, I want to just use IntelliJ instead of downloading Android Studio also. According to this, only Android Studio comes with the sdk manager gui; for other IDEs, I have to use the command-line tools. However, I figured Android Studio is a fork of IntelliJ so IntelliJ should also have the gui. I tried clicking "SDK Manager" in Intellij (Tools > Android > SDK Manager) but nothing happened.
Is anyone able to access the sdk gui with just IntelliJ? Can you please advise me on how to do it?
The new Android SDKs aren't bundling the SDK manager application anymore (which is what Intellij 2017.1.X and earlier attempt to launch when you go to manage the SDK). The GUI to manage the SDK is now built into the IDE via the Android Plugin (which Google writes). Intellij I am told will be getting this in the 2017.2 release. That should be in EAP now but I have not tried it.

My problem is I can't run my Android application within Eclipse.
When I click run it shows me this form but there's no "Android Application" choice!
If you must use Eclipse, you need to download the Android plugin for Eclipse. However, Google no longer supports this. In order to develop for the most recent version of Android you have to download Android Studio instead.
I really need to setup Android development with eclipse (ADT plugin) just after format my laptop...
I know everywhere suggest to migrate to Android Studio but really NOT want to do it until next release may be next month.
It always brings to THIS PAGE and forcing to install android studio which is NOT what I am looking for at the moment.
Also I find this LINK that provides ADT plugin installation guide but after successfully install ADT plugin it's not downloading and install SDK as earlier....
Would be grateful if anyone can guide me just to set up eclipse for Android development until migrate to Android Studio in a convenient time. Thanks
I don't have first-hand experience with this, but if your ADT plugin cannot install Android SDK anymore, you can try a workaround: install AndroidStudio, let it install the SDK, and let ADT look at the same directory. I did this a number of times in the opposite direction (starting with working Eclipse/ADT, and reusing same SDK from AS).
I did the same as you, I downloaded a "stand alone" version of ADT and dowloaded every Android version that I wanted to work with.
I downloaded Eclipse Mars, opened it, then I went in the Market Place (in Tools if I remember correctly) and looked for "Android". I then downloaded the ADT (Android Developer Tool) which you can also find on this page : http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/android-development-tools-eclipse
to clarify, the problem is ADT doesnt install the sdk folder anymore, and also, doesnt support any of the sdk manager above their last version... you can try to look up a sdk manager version that suits ADT, but good look with that. The only way to use eclipse with android sdk is to copy another eclipse well configured with de sdk manager folder, from another pc
Recently I updated Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools, Android SDK Build-tools, and downloaded new APIs Android 4.4W and Android L (both API 20).
After restarting eclipse, it required me to also update the ADT from 22.x that I had to 23.x.
I went to Install New Software in eclipse and updated the ADT to 23.0.4.
After restarting, I figured out nothing in Eclipse is working properly:
All the projects contains errors of several types:
Unable to resolve target 'android-19' until the SDK is loaded.
The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved.
The project was not build since its build path is incomplete.
The Android SDK Manager won't open.
When I write click on a project -> properties -> Android, there're no libraries and I can't add any.
Never seen something like that. I read that more people had problems after updating the ADT but none of the solutions worked. Thanks
Some hypotheses:
Broken Android SDK + tools installation. -- Can you open the Android SDK Manager and the emulator outside Eclipse? Consider reinstalling the SDK from scratch.
Eclipse can't find the Android SDK + tools installation. -- Check the ADT preferences in Windows > Preferences > Android. See this screen shot.
Broken ADT plug-in or its state. -- Try uninstalling ADT then reinstalling it.
Broken Eclipse installation. -- Consider reinstalling it from scratch. This could be a good time to update to the latest Eclipse (Luna).
Actually, this is a good time to try Android Studio. Right now your relative cost of switching is particularly low. Android Studio will take getting used to but it's slicker, does more work for you, and is the focus of Google's Android tool development. Android Studio is in beta testing but it's stable and usable.
Do watch the video What's new in Android development tools from Google I/O 2014.
See Google's notes on Troubleshooting ADT Installation.
There are more tips for fixing the ADT installation, e.g. Eclipse Indigo Android ADT - install OK, no "Android" option in Preferences and New Project but you can rule out most of those ideas since it used to work for you.
Maybe the fix on this Ubuntu forum post is relevant. There, an Ubuntu upgrade broke ADT because of the needed GEF plugin.
To everyone which gets this problems in the future:
Do not try to struggle with it for hours, with frustrating solutions from the internet.
Simply re-installed eclipse, ADT and android SDK in about 30 mins and everything works perfect, finally.
I am using adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140321, problem occured since updating java.
But now problem already fixed after re-Extracting adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140321.
I have set up my computer with windows 8.1 completely new (formatted), to be sure to have a working system.
I have installed Eclipse and the plugins the following way:
download and unpack eclipse Kepler
install JDK
install android SDK
install android SDK-plugins in eclipse
in android sdk: install all extras, API 19, in tools: Android SDK Tools, Android SDK-Platform Tools, Android SDK Build Tools (only newest, 19.0.3)
install all google plugins for kepler(Google App Engine Tools for Android, Google Plugin for eclipse, GWT Designer for GPE, SDKs)
Now, is everything set up correctly, to use google app engine correctly?
When I create a new app engine connected android project, google creates a bugged project.
I have 50 errors, of which 49 can be resolved by changing the Java version from 1.4 to 1.7 in the app engine project (Properties: Java Compiler and Project Facet)
However in the non-appengine project, in the MainActivity I get following error:
RegisterActivity cannot be resolved to a type.
How to solve this? I did not do anything by myself yet, I only created a project and I already have an error...
You are very thorough, which is good. Your development installation appears to have flaws, and you might be trying to make it run before you have seen it walk. You need to divide and conquer the potential problems. Initially simplify what you aim to create.
To pinpoint the errors, try the two standard tutorials before starting on your own design: first build and deploy an AppEngine project without Android components, and only after that works, build and deploy an Android to AppEngine project. Somewhere along that process your errors will show up, and then you should have a more specific piece of source code to show and discuss in this question.
Yesterday, a new version of Android SDK (22.6.2) was released. Apparently, the problem with RegisterActivity was solved in this update. Now I can create an Appengine connected Android Project without any errors!
I want to develop a Windows application using Java SDK and eclipse, also I want to develop an Android app while using the same PC and eclipse. Is it possible to do both as I`m not sure if I set up eclipse and install the Android Development Tools (ADT) will I still be able to develop the Windows application at the same time???
No - all ADT does is use the existing JDK environment :)
You can just download the Android Development Tools from the Android website.
The Android Development Tools is nothing more than Eclipse modified with the ADT Plug in preinstalled.
In it, you have the option to create both Android projects and plain old Java projects.
So, downloading the Android Development Tools alone will give you everything you need.
If you already had Eclipse set up, installing the ADT yourself into it will not take away any functionality from Eclipse, it will just add ADT functionality on top of it.
No, it does not alter it.
You will have the Android SDKs on their own folders and has nothing to do with JDK.
