The first thing we need to do is download all of the needed files. First up, the Android SDK. You candownload it from http://code.google.com/android/download.html

Now, let's download Java. Open up http://developers.sun.com/downloads in your browser. Click the expandbutton [+] for Java SE and click on Java SE (JDK) 6. It will take you to a page with more choices. We're

going to want JDK 6 Update 10 with Java EE. Select Windows, and the Language you want, and you can

finally download the JDK.

3/2/2011 Installing Eclipse and the Android SDK (…

androidforums.com/…/2314-installing-e… 1/31

Generated by Foxit PDF Creator © Foxit Softwarehttp://www.foxitsoftware.com For evaluation only.

Last but not least, we're going to need Eclipse. Head over to http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. The

version we want is Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. The JEE version will work as well.

Now, we've downloaded just about everything we're going to need.

Let's go ahead and fire up the JDK installer.

Click next, agree to the license, next again (installing to C:\Sun\SDK), and we'll be prompted to set theadmin password.




Enter a password and click next. Now we'll be presented with the installation options. You can leave thesedefault and click next. Finally, it will let you install what we've chosen.




Click install now.

Time to wait. Grab something to drink (or eat).




At the end of the install we'll be prompted to sign in (if registered.) You can sign up if you'd like, or log in ifyou've already signed up. You can also skip the whole process if you want.

Tah dah, that's finished. You can click Finish, skipping starting the server (we won't need it.)




Now we can get started on the fun stuff. Create a new folder on your C: Drive (or whatever you use,) andname it android. Open up the Android SDK zip, and go into the main folder. Copy all of the files from theAndroid SDK zip into C:\android.

We've now got to set the all important Path variable. Right click on My Computer and click Advanced,

Environmental Variables (or Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced ->Environmental Variables.)




In the Environmental Variables window, in the System Variables pane, scroll down to Path. Double click on it

to edit it. Scroll all the way to the right side of the value, and add ";c:\android\tools" (or the absolute pathto your tools folder,) to the end of it, as shown below.

Click OK in all of the windows, and that's good to go.

Time for Eclipse. Create a new folder on your C: Drive (or whatever you use,) and name it eclipse. Just likebefore, open up the Eclipse zip, go into the main folder, and copy all of the files into C:\eclipse.

Almost there! Go ahead and make a shortcut to Eclipse on your Desktop (if you want.) Start up Eclipse.

It will prompt you to choose a workspace location.




This is where all of your project files will be stored. Set it where you want, and click OK.

Once Eclipse is started up, we can add the ADT plugin. In the menu, Help -> Software Updates.

Click on the Available Software tab at the top.

Click on Add Site. For the URL, we're going to use http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse.




Click OK. It may tell you that there was no repository found at https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse.That's fine, Click OK.

Expand the tree for http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse (note http, not https.) Click the checkbox nextto the tree expander, and it will select all of the tools.

Click Install. Eclipse will go ahead and calculate the installation stuff it needs, and download the files.

Click finish, and it will install them.




Eclipse will prompt you to restart, click Yes. Eclipse will restart, and whalah, you're finished!

To run a quick test and make sure everything is working properly, go to File -> New -> Project. ExpandAndroid, click on Android Project, and click Next.

Now we'll have to fill in our project information. Because this is a test run, we'll call the project testrun. Forthe package name, we'll use com.android.test. And last but not least, the activity name will be test.




Click Finish.

Eclipse will crunch on that for a second, and open the project in the left pane. Expand the main tree to see

the file structure of a default new project. The last thing we need to do before we run our test application isset up a run configuration. In the menu, go to Run -> Run Configurations...




Double click on Android Application and it will create a new configuration. Give the configuration a name, andclick browse for the project.

Choose your project, click OK. Now click Apply, then Run.

You'll notice the bottom pane switches over to Console. This will let you know what's going on with theemulator. After a few seconds, the emulator will start up.

Enter topic to look up




Note that the first run will take *much* longer than usual to start up, as it's setting up the Android OS whileit starts up for the first time. Depending on the specs of your computer, it can take anywhere from a fewminutes to over half an hour.

After awhile, you'll arrive at the starting screen.




Click on Menu to unlock the screen. Usually, you'll get a few errors as things start up and can't be started.




Last edited by devolio; 12-07-2008 at 05:45 AM. Reason: Boldedimportant stuff

I usually just click wait. In the console, you'll see it install, and then start up your application.

And with that, it's time for you to dive into the code and start making your application.

Try changing the http to https and see if you have any better luck. It may just have been down for awhile.

Thanks for the tutorial. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks very thorough. I'm still in the Developer 100 stage of

learning how to develop for Android (I was a java developer by trade for 5 years, a lifetime ago). I'm verysorry if these questions have already been answered elsewhere, I just didn't find them, but if you could postthe URL, many much thanks. Way more basic questions than you address:

-do I need a separate piece of hardware than the basic T-Mobile G1 phone I already have (i.e. a "developerphone")?

-so if I get the Android SDK (I already use Eclipse), is it possible to get my in-progress application onto myphone for testing without putting it out in the Market? Or is the emulator designed to eliminate that need?

-what is the path to getting an application in the Market?

Thanks for any useful answers!

To answer your questions...

- I'm learning to develop for android and I'm getting along fine with just the normal G1 and the SDK emulator..

- I think the emulator is meant to eliminate that need...although I doubt it's better than actually having a

real phone to test it on...

- That...is something I don't know the answer to...I'm nowhere near creating a fully working app so I haven'tbothered to look it up...but I'm assuming it would be through the Android Market website...(or maybe the

Developers site)

To answer your 2nd and 3rd questions...

Once you've got all the SDK stuff set up, you can pretty much plug in your phone, run your project, andEclipse does the rest. If the phone is plugged in, it loads it up on your G1/ADP1, if not, it loads up in theemulator.

As for the market, you'll have to sign up for a developer account ($25), you'll have to confirm yourbank/google checkout connected account (using a small deposit, a-la-paypal/other payment services,

assuming you want to sell your apps) and then you'll be able to post your applications to the market. Insteadof explaining in boring text how it all works, I took a few screenshots for you.

The main market menu. Lists all your submitted applications, the number of ratings, 'total' rating, totaldownloads and estimated installations with %, Price, and whether or not it's published. At the bottom right,you'll see the Upload application button...

Upon c licking that, you'll be able to choose the application to upload (signed with non-debug keys, ofcourse,) which language it's localized for, it's title and description, type and category, price...




Whether or not to use copy protection (supposedly stops non-root users from being able to copy yourapplication,) Which countries you want to release your app or game in, your contact information, and theagreements you've to agree to.

That's about it. Develop your app, sign it for release, upload, and you're done. If you've got anymorequestions, feel free to ask

Thank you so much! I was having a bit of trouble figuring out what to download and how to hook it alltogether on my 64 bit Vista, but your guide worked a treat!

Things changed slightly with the new version 7, yet I was able to figure out everything on the installationfrom your notes.

I ran into a few problems with the project and found these fixes for them.

Error starting project: "An SDK Target must be specified"

I found this error is due to me not setting the SDK location preference in Window / Preferences / Android.Once set, I had three available: Android 1.1, Android 1.5, and Google APIs.

Error running project:- no classfiles specified - Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1

This is a weird one. I found I had to highlight the project and hit F5 to clear this error. The project has a redx on it until you do F5 once for some reason.

Error 2 running project:Android AVD Error. No compatible targets were found. Do you wish to a add (sic) new Android Virtual Device?

This gave me an option to create an Android Virtual Device, so I filled in the settings (below), clicked CreateAVD, selected the one I just created, then clicked Finish.

Name: Android-1.5-EmulatorTarget: Android 1.5 - 1.5Skin: Default (HVGA)

Wow! Now I actually have an emulator up and running!!! I see Hello World! I never could have done it

without your help. I really apprec iate the time you took to put all this together. I hope the notes I addedthere will help anyone who runs across the troubles I did.

I assume the later update is okay ?Or should I be concerned about Firefox compatability?

I'm having a whole lot of trouble installing the ADT. No matter which method I try, it cant connect to theserver.

EDIT: Getting a 404 error in my browser. It must be down.

EDIT: 3 days later, still down?? This is incredibly frustrating. Is anybody else having this problem?

Double posting so maybe someone will shine some light on this problem.....

Still getting nothing from http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse or https://dl-

ssl.google.com/android/eclipse. When I try to add the repository in Eclipse, it wont connect. If I try enteringeither address in my web browser, I get a 404. Do I have the address right? Is there somewhere else I canfind the tools?

I've been trying for a week now. I'd like to think I'm quite capable with Java/C++, and I really want to getstarted with developing, but Google is not making this easy for me.

11-30-2009, 05:36 PM #21 (permalink)


Alright, played around with this some more, and finally got it to work. If anyone else is having the same

problem, here's what I did (and it really was as simple as unchecking ONE box ):

Download the ADT Plugin .zip file. In the 'Add Site' dialogue, click archive, select the .zip file, and hit OK.Uncheck the box that reads "Contact all update sites during install to find required software". If you

dont, it'll just try to connect to the same site that you couldn't connect to before, and much like I did for aweek, you'll be running in circles. When it comes to adding SDK components, I also found I had to enable'force download from http' in the settings.

Regardless, it looks like everything should be up and running after I finish adding the SDK components.Thanks for the writeup! Despite a small road block, the writeup was very helpful.

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

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.

Quote:

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!

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 androiddeveloper 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.

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





New Member Join Date: Feb2010Posts: 2 Device(s):Thanks: 0Thanked 0 Timesin 0 Posts


During the installation of my Android SDK, I am getting stuck during the process where the manager goes out anddownloads 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 largenumber of TCP connections... according to googling my error (No buffer space available (maximum connectionsreached?): 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.

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 classesand whatnot). Do you think I need to get another edition of Eclipse, or is there another problem? Like, am Imissing any other plugins that I can just install? If I get another version of Eclipse, do I lose anything from

previous work?

Re: Installing Eclipse and the Android SDK (Windows XP)

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

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

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

Thanks,Nkk

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. Theemulator is showing the normal screen and not the "hello world" application. Here is the information from theconsole in eclipse:

[2010-04-06 22:37:44 - testrun] Automatic Target Mode: Preferred AVD 'Android-2.1-Emulator' is availableon 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...

I was having some trouble downloading this stuff and getting eclipse to work. If anyone else is new here andtrying 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 anddownload 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 ec lipse screen and navigate to help->Install New Software. In the space where itsays to Work with paste in that same URL: http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/site.xml . Then select allthe developer tools available. Restart, and you now have the Android dev tools available.
