Hi Ive installed Eclipse but when I open File / New , there is no option for New Android Project. So obviously I have not got the Android SDK Platform installed. I opened Android SDK and AVD Manager and have the following installed packages: Android SDK Tools, revision 12 Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 6 SDK Platform Android 3.2, API 13, revision 1 SDK Platform Android 1.6, API 4, revision 3 Google APIs by Google Inc., Android API 4, revision 2 Google Admob Ads Sdk package, revision 3 My question of the day is... I have both eclipse and android-sdk-mac_X86 folders installed on my Mac Mini in the Applications folder, so what am I doing wrong? Can someone advise me on my configurations? Many Thanks Terry

Have you set the Android Preferences? if not... Then Window -> Preferences-> Android and browse to the android SDK folder. Else try re-installing the SDK and grab the packages again... Good Luck

I have pretty much the same problem, with the mention that I can't even find/see the Android option when I open Eclipse--->Window-->Preferences

I dont have an option for Window -> Preferences-> Just Window - > Perpective Any ideas? Thanks Terry

Jennyapps, Are you using Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later (x86 only)?? At a minimum? I don't have my mac yet. Couple more days. Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing? Both Eclipse and the Android SDK gabriel, Are you using MAC or PC?

I'm using PC

Let me make sure I'm clear. Under WINDOWS on the Eclipse Tabs you do not see the following as the last 2 lines Android SDK and AVD Manager Preferences

I'm seeing Preferences but under Preferences Tab I'm not seeing Android

Sounds like maybe the Android SDK is not installed. Above preferences do you see Android SDK and AVD Manager. and within that when you look at installed packages do you see Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform-tools ??

well that's the point here..I'm not seeing anything Android related inside the Eclipse...

into the Eclipse-->Preferences I have the following tabs: General, Ant, Help,Install ,Java, Plug In development, Run/Debug, Team

You need to install the android SDK from the link below. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Is already installed just isn't linked with the Eclipse, I think....and I don't know how to do it

Well the fact that you dont see Android under the preference tab has to mean the install did not establish the links it needed to it. Sorry to say but I would uninstall and re-install eclipse and the Android SDK following these instructions.... http://ishankgupta.com/2011/05/how-to-install-android-sdk-in-eclipse/ or these http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

thanks I'll proceed to these steps ...

No problem... Good luck. Give a yell if you need help... Someone is always willing to help here on the site....

great, thanks

Unfortunately Im on Mac Mini running Snow Leopard so cant follow the WinDos directions :(

Does anyone know what this means? Update your PATH environment variable to know about the Android tools There are different ways of setting your default PATH variable. I use ~/.bash_login but ~/.bash_profile also works. The Android tools are in the tools directory of the Android SDK. So this is what I added to .bash_login: export PATH=$PATH:/Android/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools

Finally got it figured out! Justed watched this youtube how ro video :) Hope this helps others... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJoIVNxV55I Terry

I also set up the Eclipse but now when I've tried to create a new project it says Error: Invalid project description...

gabriel, Found this doing a google search on your problem. Give it a try.... Go into your workspace, and move your project source code folder to another area outside of your workspace (like the desktop). Make sure the project is deleted in eclipse, then create a new project from source from that directory. Another thing you could do is try creating a project of a different name (from the first project's source), so that the workspace will contain the new project as a functional project. Then, go into your workspace directory and absolutely delete the folder that contained the original project, or move it. Try loading the project from source again, this time using the second project, by naming it with the correct name. Or, you could try refactoring the second project back to the first's name

Jennyapps, Thanks for the link. I'm going to be setting my MAC Pro up in the next few days. May come in handy. Glad you got it up and running....

from this out I'm totally lost...I've created at the first try my project from to the desktop not from my workspace...and guess what?...didn't worked.. it looks like, despite the fact that this apps. stuff combined with my method have a great potential, I'll stick to my other IM projects who requires less technical skills... anyway thanks for your great support

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes you step away for a bit and come back and things clear up. At least for me it does since most of my issues are in my head... :)

I agree with gbakakos, don't give up Gabriel. Give yourself a day or two then try again. Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can lol...
