Downloading Eclipse nightmare

I am aware that this is not a hand holding forum but this is driving me nuts. Been about 6 hours now. I remember from last year when I first tried this it took ages. I have downloaded a full Eclipse/SDK package and installation was supposed to happen by clicking Eclipse. Didn't work. So then I tried downloading Eclipse Galileo and have placed it in a new 'development folder'. I then downloaded the SDK package (which seemed very similar to the earlier one as it included a different version of Eclipse). I have added everything downloaded to the development folder. I have also downloaded the ADT file, unzipped it, and added contents to development folder. When I double click the Eclipse icon it opens and on the top of the dialogue box it reads - Java Eclipse SDK but when I try to import my BT files there is no Android folder. I could use a little guidance here. Thanks.

Not sure which OS you're using, but Mark (GoNorthWest) probably has a video for it... https://www.youtube.com/user/GoNorthWest Cheers! -- Smug

I would get the Android Developer Tools -- it is an easier package as everything is in that bundle. https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html -- Niraj

Thanks guys. I keep forgetting that You Tube has an answer for everything. Got Eclipse working (I think - although there have already been some changes to the Google Library files). I had to laugh though. I tried to run a test app on the emulator that works on the IOS simulator perfectly and came back with 370 error messages. Something about not having Android 15 & 16 attached. Gonna be a while.
