? about setting up software for development

[shieldsdb]

Hey guys, I hope someone can answer this. I don't have enough posts to start a thread on xda.

I'm trying to get my computer set up to start building apps.

I've downloaded and installed java.

I've downloaded and installed Eclipse.

I also downloaded android-sdk_r16-windows and installer_r16-windows (i wasn't sure if I needed them both or not).

Now, I unzip the sdk to c:\android-sdk-windows. I then go to Eclipse to "Install New Software" Type in the address "http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse" in order to download Android DDMS and Android Dev. tools. I hit next and get the error "Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Android Development Tools 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 "

I'm on a toshiba laptop with windows 7, 2.5ghz proc with 4 gb ram, 64 bit (so you know)

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for all the help.

did you go in to the android sdk folder and run sdk manager? to update adb
never used eclipse so i think thats what it wants

[shieldsdb]

I'm doing that right now, for like the 5th time. This time though, it asked me for a login for motodev. So, I had to sign up for that. It has about 20 min left on the SDK download. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the reply.

ok, I'm still getting the same fault in Eclipse.

Here's what I downloaded with the SDK.
sdk manager | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Here's what I got with Eclipse.


[edit] screwed up the pic posting, just follow link to flickr if you want to see them.

I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Downloaded zip file from:

http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-15.0.0.zip

then just directed eclipse to load from there instead of a web address.

Thanks,

Thanks for sharing this direct download link. I was searching for this link since long time.

Always try to download the SDK from official resources. For Android get it from developer.android.com
If you still have issue installing the SDK better check for videos over YouTube, you will get complete installation videos there.
