Installing Android offline is tough [deprecated]

I am a student in Africa and on our land, in fact, there are slow and expensive Internet connections, so we tremble with fear when we hear the word "online repository", a way to install software. Hell, that usually means you need to look elsewhere.

Problem (I cannot install android without connecting eclipse to the Internet)

You can manually download individual components as .zip files, but there is no way to install them in android, for example, I managed to download

  • platform-tools_r03-windows
  • android-sdk_r10-windows
  • etc.
but no matter what i do, i can't get android to recognize them as components. It seems that tens of thousands of other developers have a similar problem (see below)

This qn has 10,000 views (which means 10k people had a similar issue)

another lost developer

If someone actually ever installed android without connecting the eclipse to the Internet, tell us the magic that you used. Thanks in advance:)

if anyone else is interested in checking http://qdevarena.blogspot.com/2010/05/download-android-sdk-standalone-for.html and make sure your folder structure is listed in http://developer.android. com / sdk / installing.html

For the SDK and platform tools, you can simply extract the zip content, Eclipse has nothing to do here.

For the Eclipse ADT plugin:

These steps are clearly explained in the Eclipse ADT documentation.

Windows only

  • Install (if not installed) Oracle JDK jdk-7-windows-i586.exe install Eclipse SDK

  • Add the path to the JDK in the PATH environment variable (for example, c: \ Program Files \ Java \ jdk1.7.0 \ bin)

  • Edit the file hosts (c: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts), add the entry "127.0.0.1 dl-ssl.google.com" This is important! Port 80 must be free during installation of the Android SDK

  • Launch the Abyss X1 web server (abyssws.exe). Works best if you download a new copy

  • Run the Android SDK installer "SDK Manager.exe"

  • In the "Android SDK Mannager" in the "Tools" ā†’ "Options" menu, set the check ("force https: // ... sources that will be extracted using http: // ..."))

  • The Android SDK Manager will receive packages on your computer. Select the packages for the API you want to program, select and install packages

  • After installing the hosts file (c: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts), enter "127.0.0.1 dl-ssl.google.com" entered in step 3

  • Good luck and do not forget to upgrade to the latest APIs and version

You can download Eclipse ADT and install

  • In Eclipse: Click the Help tab and set the New Software tab

  • Click Add

  • In the Add Repository window, add the Eclipse ADT Field Name and Location field to view the local computer on which you downloaded the ADT

  • Click OK and check all, Eclipse will install less

Dtmilano's answer is not valid for the current version of the android SDK. (androdi 4.2.2)

The android site reports that after unpacking the ADT:

Your Eclipse IDE is now set up to develop Android applications, but you need to add the latest SDK tools and the Android platform to your environment. To get these packages for your SDK, continue to add platforms and packages.

I am a Ghana. I did it about a week ago on ubuntu, it can work on windows

your question indicates that you have eclipse installed. So Iā€™m just going to set up to run Android apps ...

Step 1: Go to the .android.com developer site to download sdk for Windows (I recommend that you download the installer file). Step 2: launch the browser of your favorite browser and open this site .

you will see the xml page using ctr + f (any shortcut to search for text in your browser) like andoroid 2.2 or any version of Android that you like best is kitkat 4.4 ... you will find the urn version of the android in the zip file for ur OS, i.e. Windows ... just copy the text and add it to this address .

this will download the platform for you in .zip format .... just go to the place where you extracted ur sdk and go to the platform folder and then create a new folder with any name and then extract the platfor downloaded earlier, i.e. . android version to the new folder you created ... just run sdk.exe and it will automatically detect your platform for you ...

just go and build your Android virtual device and get started with apps.
