Android offers a custom plugin for the Eclipse IDE, called AndroidDevelopment Tools (ADT). This plugin is designed to give you a powerful, integratedenvironment in which to develop Android apps. It extends the capabilitesof Eclipse to let you quickly set up new Android projects, build an appUI, debug your app, and export signed (or unsigned) app packages (APKs) for distribution.
If you will be developing in Eclipse with the ADT Plugin, first make sure that you have asuitable version of Eclipseinstalled on your computer as described by the system requirements.
In Eclipse, you can configure proxy information from the main Eclipse menu in Window (on Mac OS X, Eclipse) Preferences General Network Connections. If you are still unable to use Eclipse to download the ADT plugin as a remote update site, you can download the ADT zip file to your local machine and manually install it. Android Developer Tools (ADT) is a plugin for Eclipse that provides a suite of tools that are integrated with the Eclipse IDE. Support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse is ended. To set up the ADT Bundle: Unpack the ZIP file (named adt-bundle.zip) and save it to an appropriate location, such as a 'Development' directory in your home directory.; Open the adt-bundle-/eclipse/ directory and launch Eclipse.; Caution: Do not move any of the files or directories from the adt-bundle- directory. If you move the eclipse/ or sdk/ directory.
If you need to install Eclipse, you can download it from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.We recommend the 'Eclipse Classic' version. Otherwise, you should use a Java orRCP version of Eclipse.
Note: If you prefer to work in a different IDE, you do not need toinstall Eclipse or ADT. Instead, you can directly use the SDK tools to build anddebug your application. So if you're not using Eclipse, continue to the next page by clickingthe Next link on the right.
Download the ADT Plugin
- Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install NewSoftware....
- Click Add, in the top-right corner.
- In the Add Repository dialog that appears, enter 'ADT Plugin' for the Name and thefollowing URL for the Location:
- Click OKNote: If you have trouble acquiring the plugin, try using 'http' in the Location URL,instead of 'https' (https is preferred for security reasons).
- In the Available Software dialog, select the checkbox next to Developer Tools and clickNext.
- In the next window, you'll see a list of the tools to be downloaded. ClickNext.
- Read and accept the license agreements, then click Finish. Note: If you get a security warning saying that the authenticity or validity ofthe software can't be established, click OK.
- When the installation completes, restart Eclipse.
Configure the ADT Plugin
After you've installed ADT and restarted Eclipse, you must specify the location of your Android SDK directory:
- Select Window > Preferences... to open the Preferences panel (on Mac OS X, select Eclipse > Preferences).
- Select Android from the left panel.
- For the SDK Location in the main panel, click Browse... and locate your downloaded Android SDK directory (such as
android-sdk-windows
). - Click Apply, then OK.
You may see a dialog asking whether you want to send usage statistics to Google. If so,make your choice and click Proceed.
If you haven't encountered any errors, you're done setting up ADT and can continue to the next step of the SDK installation.
Updating the ADT Plugin
From time to time, a new revision of the ADT Plugin becomes available, withnew features and bug fixes. Generally, when a new revision of ADT is available,you should update to it as soon as convenient.
In some cases, a new revision of ADT will have a dependency on a specificrevision of the Android SDK Tools. If such dependencies exist, you will need toupdate the SDK Tools package of the SDK after installing the new revision ofADT. To update the SDK Tools package, use the Android SDK Manager, asdescribed in Exploring the SDK.
To learn about new features of each ADT revision and also any dependencies onthe SDK Tools, see the listings in the Revisionssection. To determine the version currently installed, open theEclipse Installed Software window using Help> Software Updates and refer to the version listed for'Android Development Tools'.
Follow the steps below to check whether an update is available and, if so,to install it.
- Select Help > Check for Updates. If there are no updates available, a dialog will say so and you're done.
- If there are updates available, select Android DDMS, Android Development Tools, and Android Hierarchy Viewer, then click Next.
- In the Update Details dialog, click Next.
- Read and accept the license agreement and then click Finish. This will download and install the latest version of Android DDMS and Android Development Tools.
- Restart Eclipse.
If you encounter problems during the update, remove the existing ADT plugin from Eclipse, thenperform a fresh installation, using the instructions for Installing the ADTPlugin.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble downloading the ADT plugin after following thesteps above, here are some suggestions:
- If Eclipse can not find the remote update site containing the ADT plugin,try changing the remote site URL to use http, rather than https. That is, setthe Location for the remote site to:
- If you are behind a firewall (such as a corporate firewall), make sure thatyou have properly configured your proxy settings in Eclipse. In Eclipse,you can configure proxy information from the main Eclipse menu inWindow (on Mac OS X, Eclipse) >Preferences > General > NetworkConnections.
If you are still unable to use Eclipse to download the ADT plugin as aremote update site, you can download the ADT zip file to your local machine andmanually install it:
- Download the current ADT Plugin zip file from the table below (do not unpack it).
Name Package Size MD5 Checksum ADT 20.0.0 ADT-20.0.0.zip 12387628 bytes ea0fc934af3b6b89097f0146c7822ed0 - Follow steps 1 and 2 in the default install instructions (above).
- In the Add Site dialog, click Archive.
- Browse and select the downloaded zip file.
- Enter a name for the local update site (e.g., 'Android Plugin') in the 'Name' field.
- Click OK.
- Follow the remaining procedures as listed for default installation above, starting from step 4.
To update your plugin once you've installed using the zip file, you will haveto follow these steps again instead of the default update instructions.
Other install errors
Note that there are features of ADT that require some optionalEclipse packages (for example, WST). If you encounter an error wheninstalling ADT, your Eclipse installion might not include these packages.For information about how to quickly add the necessary packages to yourEclipse installation, see the troubleshooting topicADTInstallation Error: 'requires plug-in org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui'.
For Linux users
If you encounter this error when installing the ADT Plugin for Eclipse:

...then your development machine lacks a suitable Java VM. Installing SunJava 6 will resolve this issue and you can then reinstall the ADTPlugin.
The ADT Bundle provides everything you need to start developing apps, includinga version of the Eclipse IDE with built-in ADT (Android Developer Tools) tostreamline your Android app development.If you haven't already, go download the Android ADT Bundle. (If you downloaded the SDK Tools only, for use with anexisting IDE, you should instead readSetting Up an Existing IDE.)
Install the SDK and Eclipse IDE
- Unpack the ZIP file(named
adt-bundle-<os_platform>.zip
) and save it to an appropriate location,such as a 'Development' directory in your home directory. - Open the
adt-bundle-<os_platform>/eclipse/
directory and launcheclipse.
That's it! The IDE is already loaded with the Android Developer Tools plugin andthe SDK is ready to go. To start developing, read Building Your First App.
Caution: Do not move any of the files or directoriesfrom the
adt-bundle-<os_platform>
directory. If you move the eclipse
or sdk
directory, ADT will not be able to locate the SDK and you'llneed to manually update the ADT preferences.Additional information

As you continue developing apps, you may need to install additional versionsof Android for the emulator and other packages such as the library forGoogle Play In-app Billing. To install more packages, usethe SDK Manager.
