Eclipse ADT Bundle No More!

Hello, It appears that, in their move to make Android Studio the default IDE for Android development, they have removed all links to the Eclipse ADT Bundle. I cannot even find any archives for it! So, if you've downloaded it, don't delete it like I did! I deleted my Mac version, and I sincerely regret it! If you have a copy of the Mac version, and can make it available to me, I would GREATLY appreciate it! I'll then archive it for others to use. I believe I still have Windows and Linux copies. Thanks! Mark

Nice! Looks like that might do the trick. I'll download and scan for viruses, and see if it's all good. Thanks! Mark

Two of us have independently downloaded the Mac version (zip) file from this site, and the file appears to be corrupted, as it won't open. Will continue to look elsewhere! Mark

That's not the only bad news I'm afraid. Many of the tutorials that were for Eclipse now cannot be found. The new Amazon Fire SDK tutorials are only for Android Studio and of course the Android Development area have removed all links to Eclipse. This sucks .. But great you can still find the adt bundle :)

It looks like Buzztouch will need to start looking at updating to use Studio soon, just when I have started to get used to Eclipse. Of course, we will need some more wonderful how-to videos from our Guru's to show how to use Studio with Buzztouch :) Mike

Actually, there's no real requirement to use Android Studio...Google just prefers you use it for Android development. And, if you're not actually writing code, then just having Eclipse with the Android Tools is enough to compile the app. Eclipse isn't going anywhere, and neither is the ADT Tools (as far as I can tell...they're still available). So, there's no real compelling reason to move yet! I was playing around with the most recent version yesterday, and it's so slow I couldn't get anything done. It was frustrating, and I gave up.

Hello Mark, I'm just getting started with Android. I have Eclipse on my Mac...Thanks for all of the great tutorials. I actually got my app running on an Android phone via .apk through Dropbox. I've been tweaking my app through my BT control panel and Android test phone for a few weeks now. I just went back to my project in Eclipse which i was able to compile and run in the emulator and real device with no errors. When I opened the project today, it has all of the errors in the src file as if the .lib file wasn't attached. I verified that the .lib file was attached and even removed it and re-added it to no avail. There are no updates available for Eclipse. Do you think this has something to do with the implementation of Android studio? BT 3.0 Self Hosted Newest version of Eclipse, just installed it 12/8/14 API 14, also tries API's up to 20 Verified Java version 1.6.0_65 which I downgraded to to get Eclipse to work

Howdy! Are these errors occurring in Android Studio, or Eclipse? If Studio, then I would recommend going back to Eclipse. There's nothing in Studio worth messing around with at the moment. If these are Eclipse errors, make sure you've linked to the Google Play Services library, and then try a Project > Clean All to see if that cleans up the errors. If you still have problems, let me know, and perhaps we can do a TeamViewer session. Mark

Wellll........ It's Eclipse. On a MacBook. The library was definitely linked. Cleaned at least 1,000,000 times. Removed the library and re-linked it at least 10,000 times. Closed Eclipse and re-opened it and the third time or so it compiled with no errors and launched successfully in the Genymotion emulator. Don't know what the problem was but you fixed it from only 3000 miles away. You're awesome Mark, thank you! Dave

Hey Dave, Glad it worked out! I have found that closing and opening Eclipse sometimes works...I have no idea why. Seems like it would do the same operations each time, so I don't understand why it works sometimes, and why it doesn't others! In any event, glad you're up and running! Merry Christmas! Mark
