[android-developers] Android Support package, as described on Android site, not found in SDK Manager

2011-12-31 Thread David Karr
I was looking at the new Android Training section on the Android 
Developer's site. One of the first required steps is installing the 
Android Support package.

In the Downloading the Support Package section, it first says to Launch 
the SDK and AVD Manager.  This is curious, as my Eclipse has two options, 
called Android SDK Manager and AVD Manager. These instructions refer 
specifically to a choice called Android SDK and AVD Manager.  I assume 
they really mean the SDK Manager, so that's what I'm looking at.

The instructions next say Expand the Android Repository, check Android 
Support package.

My Android SDK Manager dialog has a pane labeled Packages. I see 
nothing labeled Android Repository. I also see nothing like Android 
Support.

What am I missing?

The tutorials were written before the split of the SDK and AVD Manager
into two windows, apparently.

In the SDK Manager, it is called Android Compatibility package, and
it appears in the Extras category.

The name of this component has varied from Android Compatibility
Library to Android Support package to Android Compatibility
package. If you see any of those names, they should all be referring
to the same thing.
