Installing Android SDK and ADT in eclipse

Question

I am trying to start Android Development and trying to do so using the ADT plugin in my Eclipse Mars(Windows 10)

I have installed the ADT plugin in my eclipse version 23.0.7.2120684.

Also I have downloaded the SDK tools(tools_r25.2.3-windows) and extracted it to D:/eclipse\\SDK.

But everytime I open Eclipse and click on Windows->Preferences ->and enter the SDK Location as D:/eclipse\\SDK which is the SDK folder I am getting the below error:

The Android SDK requires the new Build Tools component to be installed.

Please open the SDK Manager and install "Android SDK Build-tools"

I click on Open SDK Manager and nothing happens, but I get an error message in the console:

[2017-04-10 22:56:35 - SDK Manager] [SDK Manager] Error: Expected verb after global parameters but found 'sdk' instead.

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong here. Most of the installation guides/steps found on the net are a bit redundant since they are quite old.

Answer 1

As of Android SDK Tools Revision 25.3.0 removes obsolete/deprecated tools, see Release Notes , and as ADT plugin is no longer supported it cannot work with it.

However revision 25.2.3 should be working. If you still want to use Eclipse try to look at Eclipse Neon for Android Developers .

Answer 2

Eclipse no longer supports Android Application Development. Announcement here.

You might install Android Studio or Intellij Idea to create android apps using java.
