Installing ADT 17 on windows 7 and eclipse indigo, everything works fine, but there is no project like Android in the new project

Question

Today I installed a new version of the SDK tools for Android 17. When I launched eclipse, he said that you should update ADT. I downloaded the latest zip archive (ADT-17.0.0.zip) and I followed the Eclipse instructions for installing ADT. Everything is going well (as I expected), but in the end I could not see Android in the settings, as well as the android project in the New Project wizard. I am using Eclipse Indigo and Windows 7.

Any idea?

Answer 1

Read this on the Android Developer page in Eclipse Plugin Update . Hope this helps.

In some cases, the new ADT revision will depend on the specific version of the Android SDK Tools. If such dependencies exist, you will need to update the SDK Tools SDK component after installing the new version of ADT. To update the SDK Tools component, use the Android SDK and AVD Manager, as described in the “Adding SDK Components” section.

If you encounter problems during the upgrade, remove the existing ADT plugin from Eclipse, and then perform a new installation using the instructions to install the ADT plugin.

Answer 2

Try running eclipse with the -clean from the command line, for example:

 C:\path_to_where_eclipse_is_installed\eclipse -clean 

This should clear the eclipse plugin preference caches, probably resolving your case.

Answer 3

The same goes for me.

Started with Mapview compilation errors after getting the latest Java 21Mar2012 update, although I haven't changed the path settings yet.

Download some SDK updates, then follow the Eclipse Helio recommendations found and updated to v17 from ADT. The compilation path to Java is broken, but the default Java compiler options are 1.6.

We downloaded Eclipse Indigo and downloaded everything from scratch related in the latest Java update, the same Java compilation error. You know something broken when the Java.lang and String types are unknown ...

Something seriously in error with the V17 ADT and Windows eclipse.

Does anyone know how to revert to previous ADT and SDK?

ADDED: When I looked at my other Android projects, I noticed that the path to the Android 2.2 library class was there (previous versions of ADT). The key to successful workaround changes seemed to be .classpath files in the project workspace.

The workaround for me was to find the pre V17 file (below)

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <classpath> <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/> <classpathentry kind="src" path="gen"/> <classpathentry kind="con" path="com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ANDROID_FRAMEWORK"/> <classpathentry kind="output" path="bin/classes"/> </classpath> 

Then I added android and displayed the JAR manually under Project > Properties > Java Build Path , and the file became:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <classpath> <classpathentry kind="src" path="gen"/> <classpathentry exported="true" kind="con" path="com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.LIBRARIES"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/Apps/Android/android-sdk-windows/platforms/android-8/android.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/Apps/Android/android-sdk-windows/add-ons/addon_google_apis_google_inc_8/libs/maps.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="output" path="bin/classes"/> </classpath> 

Now it works for me :)
