Setting Up Android Development Tools

Setting Up Android Development Tools

You also need to set up Android Tools for Eclipse. The instructions are:

1. Start Eclipse, then select Help→Install New Software (see Figure 3-1). 2. In the Available Software dialog, click Add. 3. In the Add Site dialog that appears, enter a name for the remote site (for example,    “Android Plugin”) in the “Name” field. 4. In the “Location” field, enter this URL: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/    eclipse/. 5. Click OK. 6. Back in the Available Software view, you should now see “Developer Tools” added    to the list. Select the checkbox next to Developer Tools, which will automatically    select the nested tools Android DDMS and Android Development Tools. Click    Next. 7. In the resulting Install Details dialog, the Android DDMS and Android Develop-    ment Tools features are listed. Click Next to read and accept the license agreement    and install any dependencies, then click Finish. 8. Restart Eclipse.

If you have trouble downloading the plug-in, you can try using “http” in the URL instead of “https” (https is preferred for security reasons).
