It looks to me like Eclipse is not downloading/installing everything it needs for ADT. It states that there are no new updates for ADT (after having installed ADT and Android DDMS) however there is no mention of Android amongst any of the preference settings (which to me would suggest that ADT is not installed).
I had a go at installing Android SDK and ADT for eclipse on another compter I have (Ubuntu). Also didn't work but for a different reason. Installed the Android SDK no problem. Added the repository "http://dl- ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" to eclipse. It suggested that I installed "Android Dalvik Debug Monitor Service" and "Android Developer Tools". I checked both. Clicked on next and eclipse seems to freeze. IMO configuring IDE's is often more complicated than actually writing an app On Apr 5, 8:44 pm, g1 <jeff.l.dav...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > the ebook says I can set the sdk path by selecting "Window > > Preferences > Android".
