Apps Installing Eclipse and the Android SDK (Windows XP)

[flu13]

Isn't there anyone who knows what they're doing who monitors this forum? Three questions over three weeks and change, and no responses.

Isn't there anyone who knows what they're doing who monitors this forum? Three questions over three weeks and change, and no responses.

One or two things might be the reason:

Maybe no one visiting your thread knows the answer;

Maybe no one is visiting your thread;

There may be a limited number of devs that use the forum;

I would suggest also trying IRC #android-dev

Failed to fetch URL http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Server redirected too many times (20)

Can anyone tell me how to get 'past' this????

It's highly annoying ...

I can hit that link directly but the Android SDK/ADVD Manager cannot???

Please help - anyone

after you get the error click close and then goto 'Settings' and check Force https://...

then save and apply

Well, Hi! I've decided to start developing for Android. Even though I don't have an Android phone and all...

It's all for fun and profit. A nice little 49p, 99p app.

What should I set as the SDK Location in Window > Preferences > Android?

I have the same question--I downloaded the SDK through Eclipse and have no idea where it went...

Check the downloads folder...

 

[TheLupineOne]

Well, I've copied the Android SDK into the C:\ drive (C:\android). It's all there, so what the pfargtl?

Look at this from the readme.

In order to start developing applications, you must install at least one
version of the Android platform using the SDK Manager.

SDK Manager! I'll have to try use that. That could be the problem!

Hi,
thats a nice presentation by you for installing android on windows xp. It is very helpful to me. after setting the path, when i tried to start eclipse a error window flashed on the screen saying that " a java Runtime environment or jdk must be available inorder to run eclipse. No java virtal machine was found after searching the following locations c:\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe javaw.exe in your currebt path". I tried changing paths, but i did not succeed. I have been using windows xp 2002 version sevice pack 2. Please tell me solution. Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem with windows 7 64bit

 

[TheLupineOne]

Now at the bit just before the emulator.

I have one error.

The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved

Location: Unknown.

WHY?

I'm not exactly using XP but I don't think it'll quite matter.

Anyway I'm having trouble downloading the Android SDK Platform. I've followed the tutorial on the android developer site and they say you use the AVD Manager to get it. However this is all I get:

Just a bunch of Add-on stuff, no Platform. What's going on? Am I using the wrong URL?

Edit: Nevermind.... I figured it out. Had to force the HTTPS thing in the Settings. Thought I already did it and didn't work, but tried again and seemed to work that time.

i downloaded the u18 version of java ee sdk since i couldnt find u10 anywhere. it had a little different menus but was about the same. it is saying i have no targets when i go to create a project testrun. in preferences->android, i set the path to the android sdk and it found the tools folder but it doesnt show any sdk targets. any idea?

nevermind, ran the sdk and avd manager and all the updates and now they all show up.

 

[bryngelson]

Is it possible to download Android SDK components without the Android SDK manager?

During the installation of my Android SDK, I am getting stuck during the process where the manager goes out and downloads all the revisions of the APIs and the SDKs.

It is potentially due to a socket issue that typically occurs when a database query is called and there are a large number of TCP connections... according to googling my error (No buffer space available (maximum connections reached?): recv failed )...

Here is the errors that come up..

So I just need to know if there is a way, other then using the Android download manager, to download / update my computer with the Android SDK components....



Thank you.

Hi, so I have a problem others may have mentioned before:

When trying to install the Android ADT plugin to Eclipse, I get the following:

I've tried with http and https

I'm using the Stanford edition of Eclipse 3.4.2 (Stanford in that it's the version they had us use for classes and whatnot). Do you think I need to get another edition of Eclipse, or is there another problem? Like, am I missing any other plugins that I can just install? If I get another version of Eclipse, do I lose anything from previous work?

WHY?

Does anyone know an answer to this one? I'm experiencing the same issue.

 

[jmims]

I think I had a repo error when doing this myself, though I don't recall the exact wording. I'm pretty sure I solved it by keeping the google address to download from in the url field; as adding the repo to the list did not work. I don't have my laptop right in front of me, so I can't tell you where for sure, just yet, to get it to fownload.

 

[jmims]

fownload=download...

 

[rawness]

For whatever reasons, restarting eclipse got rid of the build path errors for me.

 

[nkk]

Which Java JDK do I get? I do not see JDK 6 update 10. There is only update 19. I know how to program, but am still new to this, and want to make sure the update does not alter the functionality I need.

Thanks,
Nkk

 

[RC21]

Okay, what am I missing? I had to build the target (Thanks to the information that Jacqueline provided earlier in this feed) and now I've got the emulator up and running but I don't see the test application running. The emulator is showing the normal screen and not the "hello world" application. Here is the information from the console in eclipse:

[2010-04-06 22:37:44 - testrun] Automatic Target Mode: Preferred AVD 'Android-2.1-Emulator' is available on emulator 'emulator-5554'
[2010-04-06 22:37:47 - testrun] Application already deployed. No need to reinstall.
[2010-04-06 22:37:47 - testrun] \testrun\bin\testrun.apk installed on device
[2010-04-06 22:37:47 - testrun] Done!

Any help on why it's not running? I don't see any errors here...

 

[Dragosi]

hey guys. so... i'm getting this error when i try the testrun. its saying that

"An SDK Target must be specified"

and ive gone into the sdk and avd downloader thing, and i can't get the updates to show... any ideas?

EDIT: NeverMind i got it.

 

[pandorazboxx]

I was having some trouble downloading this stuff and getting eclipse to work. If anyone else is new here and trying to follow this setup there's a couple things to get you all the files you'll need.

From SUN you first need to install the latest JDK. Then you can search through their older downloads and download the EE SDK.

In eclipse the menus have changed since this tutorial was written. You'll need to go to window->preferences. Then navigate to Install/update - available software sites. Then you can add http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/site.xml to the list. Now if you need to download the android developer's tools you go back to the main eclipse screen and navigate to help->Install New Software. In the space where it says to Work with paste in that same URL: http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/site.xml . Then select all the developer tools available. Restart, and you now have the Android dev tools available.

Any clues for those of us getting the same error?
