Need help installing the Android SDK

I've read the other threads about this but there is no help to be found there unfortunately.
I've been playing with App Inventor because I wanted to avoid learning Java but my think now is that seeing as I do JavaScript/PHP/mySQL and HTML/CSS anyway I might as well do my app development properly.
I've been following the instructions at the official developer.android.com site.
and the part where I have the problem is with Eclipse - at step 1 on that page. I've installed the JDK but when I try to install Eclipse I get an error telling me that there is no Virtual Java machine in the eclipse\jre\bin\ folder.
Well I'm following the instructions so what can I do about this? I don't even understand the error. Is there supposed to be a file in this folder, a folder which a.doesn't come with the standard Eclipse .zip file and which b.doesn't exist at all!
I tried this all before some time ago and got the same problem. At that time I couldn't even use App Inventor because of some JDK/JRE problem but I un-installed and reinstalled Java and App Inventor is working now.
This is one of the most frustrating computing problems I've faced because I've searched all over for an answer and there is nothing out there. Frankly I'm a little surprised at how poor the installation documentation is
The only thing I can think of is I have the wrong version of Eclipse. Which exact one is everyone else using?

Hello Subjective Effect. There is not a folder named eclipse\jre\bin in eclipse installation folder. The version i m using is eclipse-helios. I was not faced the problem you have.

I've solved that part of the problem by downloading a different version of Eclipse. It is a Helios version and is the one with Java. The installation instructions are not clear on this.
I now have another issue but I'll try work that out for the time being.

So I've no idea (again because the instructions are so poor) what to do about this.
I'm on the Android Developers site and trying to start the Hello World tutorial. I'm already stumped at the stage of creating a New Project because after I set up Project name, Application name, Package name and Create Activity clicking "Finish" gives this error:
[2010-10-28 01:33:03 - HelloAndroid] ERROR: Unable to open class file C:\workspace\HelloAndroid\gen\com\subjectiveeffect\helloandroid\R.java: No such file or directory
The reason I think the docs are poor is am I supposed to have created this directory or does Eclipse create it for you? And if it's supposed to be created for you what am I doing wrong?

Mine seems to have that error no matter what I type in.

So what have you done about it? Or can I continue without worrying, is this a trivial error message?

1) you should download Eclipse 3.5.2 as Helios is not supported by Android plugin yet.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-classic-352/galileosr2
2) R.java problem should go away if you restart eclipse

Also, to start with better use the existing sample project HelloWorld rather than setting up your own.

This is a common known bug. You can use the latest eclipse version, once you setup a project, you will have to go under project properties and choose compiler version 1.6, which is set to 1.5 usually.
Tha will solve the problem, because i was facing the same a few days ago when starting to mess with SDK and Eclipse.

I had a similar problem and gave up for awhile and when I came back to it I found out that I didn't have my paths set correctly for the java jdk, not sure if that is it but it worked for me.

I find if I restart Eclipse it fixes things.
I've been playing with layouts!

Eclipse 4.2.2

To get started, I installed the Android SDK with ADT that also came with eclipse (unknown to me it came with eclipse) after I installed the Eclipse for JAVA developers. Neither one works as it says it can't locate the JAVAW file under jre/bin that's suppose to be in the eclipse folder. Anyhow, to see if I could fix it I cut the JRE folder from my Java folder, and placed it in the eclipse folder. It attempted to run this time but gave me an error saying it couldn't open the jvm.dll file. I then went back after watching the xdatv video and installed the eclipse classic. Still a no go. I also realized I have no JDK installed, which I'm doing so now, but either or I thought it would run with a JRE too.
Anyone got a fix for my issue? Or will installing the JDK be the fix?

Ok sorry for the stupid question. turns out I did install the jdk but a re-install fixed my issue.

Well, it's not really directly related with the problem you had, but next time you need to download the Android SDK, there is an option not to include the Eclipse in the bundle.

Are you setting up a build environment ? The reason I ask is there are a few easy ways to set it, using a more painless way.

FireTV as Download Centre

Since the FireTV is always on it is perfectly suited as a Download centre when combined with an external HDD.
At the moment I'm runnig NZBGet mobile to download media from usenet to my external HDD which is mounted using Stickmount. By installing python for android I managed to get VideoSort to work, which is a script which automatically recognizes the TV-Show/Movie for you and names it accordingly, moves it and cleans up any left-over thrash. Works very well so far.
Combined with some usenet indexing site which build rss feeds (or remote push to NZBGet) for any new episodes/movie releases you can automatically download any new stuff which you might want. Some even import any stuff from your Trakt/IMDB watchlist. As XBMC is running on the same machine it is also easy to let XBMC update the library when any new media is added.
Wonder if anyone else has set up anything like this? I looked into installing transmission through optware on the FireTV but couldn’t install optware as it wouldn’t let me remount. Can install uTorrent and control that from your phone but as far as I saw I couldn’t get it to run a cleanup script after any download is done. Really want it to be all automated so for now I’m only using usenet, which I prefer over torrents anyway.

you have just made my day you have no idea. ive been working on getting a renamer to work on my fire tv i already have a torrent based downloader with a custom rss feed to download but i couldnt for the life of me find one.
as for clean up im not quite sure what you mean but this is my setup
Flud run auto download through rss and updates decently when it downloads when its done it will delete the torrent file and there is an option to move the file when it is done downloading
i have my hdd mounted and all files are moved to the uncatagorized folder but after that i i cant sort them so im gonna try your method but a really good app i found is watchdog it auto updates the xbmc library a lot better then anything else
if theres anything i can help with let me know
thanks again
Also flud will delet old items and if its renamed and moved it should be able to delete the old unnecessary folders
so since videosort requires NZB do you know a way to make it work without it?
P.S. Sorry about my grammar its my worst subject and I was more excited to post then check haha

The VideoSort script can be modified to work with torrents as well. It uses some variables passed by NZBGet (Download Directory, NZB-name, etc) to process the download. If there is any torrent client for android which allows you to call a script after a download is done and has some way to pass the download location it should work. I don't know of any torrent client on android that does this though. uTorrent, transmission and more allow for this in their Windows clients.
What I did before I got python working was I shared my external HDD with my Windows network using Samba Filesharing. Then I just had a simple batch file setup which would sort the media by using Filebot.

So there isn't an equivalent sabnzbd suite (sickbeard, couchpotato) for the Android fork like you have on openelec?

What if we use tasker to trigger an event when a file or folder gets moved to the UnCategorised folder? The event being a Python script that I found called turbo sort it works great.
Also one more thing I would love to get flexget working to scrape rss feeds have you looked into this at all?
I've made a lot of progress on this and the last day I'm somewhat close to making a thread that explains how to make an automated system but I've got to make sure everything works flawlessly first.
Bad grammar this time is due to voice keyboard lol

nzbget version?
I've been messing with nzbget on gbox and fire for some time now. Now gbox has openelec sabnzbdsuite is perfect. Before that was using nzbget and it worked well, however latest version with extraction would start loading on ftv but just hang. I did manage to get old version to run fine but no auto extract. Which version you using? Did you manage to add unrar pp script?

Not that I know off. Think there is a Sickbeard version for android though. I tried to install SABnzbd through optware on my tablet but couldn't get it to work well with python. You should try NZBGet, works well. Also is less resource intensive. If you combine NZBGet with indexer to automatically add stuff and use the NZBGet post processing scripts to order the media you will basically have sabnzbd/sickbeard/couch into 1 app by just running NZBGet combined with an indexer (I use DogNZB).

The script I use, VideoSort, is a evolved version of the Turbo script. Good idea on Tasker to watch for the folder. Think that should work. You can try it yourself, install Python for Android and use it to run the script.

The NZBGet version I have already has parcheck and unrarring build in. Only need to add post processing scripts if you want to do more. Atm I have 3 running, 1 to rename a specific format and place them in my tvshow/seasons/episodes folder structure. 1 to notify XBMC and 1 to notify me of new downloads on my phone.

That's odd, that's same version that just hangs of aftv for me. Maybe time to break it out again and start from scratch.

Can't quite get it to work
Hi Nedle,
Thanks for writing this post I've been scratching my head over this for days.
Ive set up sickbeard for android just for TV post processing with rss feeds from probably the same nzb indexer as you, its a bit hit and miss really because some of the extracted files are labelled 2 folders deep with the parent folder showing the show details, another folder with random characters and then finally the video file with more random characters. It seems like sickbeard will only pick up strangely labelled files in the parent folder and not go digging.
It looks like getting videosort to work could hopefully sort this out, I'm not sure how to get python running properly. Ive tried running the r5 version from the link you gave and the python3 version with no success. I've put the videosort zip in the download folder and tried to import it into python but it pops up with an error. Videosort on Nzbget continues to fail in pp.
What process did you go through to get python to work? I'm sure I must be making a rookie error here
Thanks!

Sorry for a very late reaction, didn't see this until now. Scripts will have to be executable, think android doesn't allow this on the sdcard. To fix this all my scripts are located on my external hdd. Furthermore you will need to set the path and call the videosort script from a shell script as it won't work directly (atleast I couldn't).
So in my nzbget scripts folder I have a call_VideoSort.sh script, which calls VideoSort.py. The libraries which VideoSort needs (guessit) I copied to /sdcard/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid\extras\python.
call_VideoSort.sh contains all the Nzbget stuff: The options for format, folder structure, etc. Then at the bottom it simply has:
Code:
export PYTHONHOME=/data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python
export PYTHONPATH=/storage/sdcard0/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/extras/python:/data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python/lib/python2.6
export PATH=$PYTHONHOME/bin:/system/bin:/system/xbin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python/lib
python "<PATHtoVideoSort.py>"
Let me know if you need any help and I'll see if I can.

Yes, I have the playstore installed and installed NZBGet from there. But you can just sideload nzbget as well, shouldn't be a problem. Downloading stuff is pretty straight forward. If you want to automatically sort your media you will need post processing scripts which require python. That takes a bit more tinkering to work, as you will have to install python and make the scripts executable.
If you get stuck anywhere let me know what errors you get and I'll try to help. You can use http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ to download the nzbget apk and sideload it.

Fix - Apps and websites not working after certificates expire

As identified in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65344931&postcount=10 lots of apps and websites have stopped working over the past year or so (depending maybe on your ROM). This has been traced to the root certificates (used to trust websites and set up secure ssl connctions) becoming out of date. Modern devices also have many more root certificates installed by default.
Note that this doesn't fix the google market on the nook touch, nor the kindle book store. It does fix the kindle app for syncing books purchased elsewhere.
I'll port the instructions over into this post later (see the link above for now). It requires root (so is slightly risky).
If you identify any more failing sites, please provide an https link which fails to open on the nook (but does work on a PC) and I'll add the root authority to my files. Anyone working on ROMs is welcome to redistribute my cacerts.bks

Aargh!

I've been using your updated cacerts.bks file and it is great. In January another certificate expired and I'm fairly confident it's the reason a news app (News Republic) started throwing up security certificate errors and refused to connect with the server. I think I need to be able to do the certificate updates, but I am trying to avoid going down the SDK road (a massive download I will never use for anything else) and all those complexities.
Except, nothing else seems to work. There is an ancient thread in which people discuss various ways to update pre-ICS cacerts. Unfortunately, none of them work--I've tried them all. The browser idea seems promising and Opera Mobile responds as described, but then nothing happens to the cacerts.bks file.
Portecle looks really promising (images below). It can obviously open and inspect the cacerts.bks file (password: changeit). It shows the additions you made and also indicates the expired certificate.
So I went searching for a replacement and found something that seems like the right thing (attached as a zip). It imported easily into Portecle and then appeared along with the new ones you added.
Then I returned the file to the NST and made the permissions the same as the old file. A reboot put me in a loop out of which I just barely managed to recover by inserting my NookManager card at just the right moment.
So I don't get it. The bouncycastle files recommended in the CAcerts wiki for this task are too old to be available. Surprise.
I'm tempted to NOT fix the permissions on the cacerts.bks file when I return it to the NST because I once had a similar problem with a settings.db file and it turned out that restoring the "correct" permissions resulted in a bootloop while leaving them as they were when the file was copied back made it all work just fine. But I'm too timid to try that just now.
Any insights?

From my linked thread,
Download http://www.bouncycastle.org/download...dk15on-146.jar - this is used locally on your PC to manipulate the certificates and needs to be version 146 or 147 to work with android (or old android at least)

It seems that when I used a different version, I got a bootloop. Although the link I referenced seems to have died, the filename still turns up plenty of hits. http://polydistortion.net/bc/download/ for example (version 1.47).
I agree its a lot of pain, and I'm not sure I still have the toolchain download that I used for this work. I'll have a dig around...

Yipes. Well, I downloaded the jar file (many thanks...I did search on the file name and came up empty) and followed your example on the other thread. Everything behaved as it should. Except for the boot loop....... This time it was even harder to get out of it.
Two possibilities come to mind. My JDK is 1.8.0_73. Maybe that's too new to work properly. The other is that the certificate, despite playing nicely as far as console feedback went, is of the wrong format, although this does not show up in the feedback or in Portecle.
Anyway, I'm sufficiently intimidated now that I'm not going back there unless I have a better way of getting out of boot loops (since I'm doing ADB over Wi-Fi).
Edit: temptation... So I went back to the CAcerts Wiki and noticed they suggest Java 6. Now, of course, the Wiki is old, but so is the Java underlying the NST, so I found an install of Java 6 and put it on the laptop we have attached to the TV (which runs Kodi and very little else). Then I repeated the entire procedure with--supposedly--all the right components. Same dreaded bootloop. So either the certificate I have has an incompatible format, or I am just hopeless at this. Maybe both

all of the old bouncy castle api releases are archived on their ftp server under ftp://ftp.bouncycastle.org/pub. i managed to find the .jar files referenced in the other thread on there and updated my cacerts.bks using the cacerts wiki instructions a few days ago. hope it helps you. using the newer release gave me a bootloop as well, but once i grabbed the older version from their ftp all was good!

Which java version were you running?
Edit: Hmm....I'm not having any luck with the link you provided. Using an FTP client I am asked for a logon and in my browser (Firefox) it never connects.

Here we go: http://www.bouncycastle.org/archive/
Remains to be seen if that will do the trick for me...

the bootloop version was whatever bouncycastle.org has as their latest release.
the one i downloaded from the ftp that didn't bootloop was this one: bcprov-jdk16-146.jar
you'll need to ftp in and use the password "anonymous" and some bogus email to get onto the ftp. from that web version of the archive it should be this package: http://www.bouncycastle.org/archive/146/bcprov-jdk16-146.tar.gz
i'm running mac, so my default java was 1.6. i updated to 1.8 but that happened after i got this all up and running already. this was the version that was default:
$ /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Commands/java -version
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-468-11M4833)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-468, mixed mode)
so jdk 1.6 + API 146 (or 147?) seems to be the proper mix.
at first i thought it wasn't working, because although i updated the cacerts.bks, the amazon kindle app kept saying "incorrect email/password". took me a while before i read the entire thread and realized that amazon now does two-step authentication so i had to enter the one time passcode they had sent to my email.

Well....progress, or at least I think so. This may be an easier method.
Go to http://www.bouncycastle.org/archive/ and download bcprov-jdk15on-146.jar
Go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/portecle/ and download potecle (an executable jar)
Unzip portecle. Rename the bcprov-jdk15on-146.jar to simply bcprov.jar and copy that into the unzipped portecle folder (overwrite the newer version already present).
To run portecle, just double-click on portecle.jar. You will get a statement about the 146 file being out of date, resulting in not everything working, but enough works for our purposes.
Copy cacerts.bks from your NST (system/etc/security) to your PC, open portecle and import your cacerts file (password is "changeit"). You now have a nice graphical interface for perusing and updating your certificates! If you have a *.cer certificate to update, rename the "cer" to "crt" and use the import function. It's really that simple. I tried it, copied the file back onto my NST, fixed the permissions and.......{drumroll}.......no bootloop I'm running jdk 1.8.x
That's the good news. The bad news is that I did not succeed in updating the entrust certificate. I added three from their website and while they did not break cacerts, they did not restore functionality to NewsRepublic, which is what I was hoping to do
So....this may work. It's certainly easy, but clearly you need to have the correct updated certificate to get the desired result. Duh.
Edit: OK, it's ALL bad news
Don't do any of this. It seems to go OK but yesterday I found I could not successfully open the NPR app. I thought, "well, another one bites the dust", but I was curious so I used SearchMarket to see if the app was still listed for the NST. It was. So maybe it got corrupted somehow? Anyway, I uninstalled it and was going to reinstall from the Market but suddenly I got messages about the download failing. Oh no, not another function going south?!
Well, it's all fine, but the problem was the cacerts.bks file that I had made using the method above. Although there is no bootloop on restart, there is bad ju-ju nonetheless. Restoring my backup of cacerts.bks fixed NPR and SearchMarket. So....don't go there (and the two people who thanked me, feel free to unthank me )

[SCRIPT] [WIN-10] WSL 1/2 Utility for Windows 10 x64

Hello People. This is basically a combination of batch scripts made by me to make WSL less daunting for people who do not want to do Powershell things and introduce MANY more people to Linux [and make existing dual boot Linux users just stick to Windows w/o the ugly GRUB].
Disclaimer: Only you know what you're doing. I have tested everything on me and my friend's PC and it seems to work fine. If your PC catches fire or starts an apocalypse it's not my fault. So yeah be careful about what you're doing.
Things the scripts can do:
1) Enable WSL 2 in any Windows 10 2004 computer. [NEW: Older versions of windows 10 are now supported.]
2) Download all the available distros with a couple key presses.
3) Automatically detects the downloaded distro and installs it without any user input.
Downloads are attached in the thread and instructions are given in the zip file.
How to know which zip to download (1 or 2) [Don't Skip]:
1) Go to the start menu.
2) Type "Run" and press enter
3) Then type there "winver" and press enter.
4) If you see 2004 there, ONLY THEN are you able to download the WSL-2 zip. Otherwise update your Windows or use the WSL-1 zip.
Note to self: Things to do in the future--
1) Make a GUI of sorts.
2) Anything else the people want.
Not going to force you or anything, but I would appreciate if you pressed the Thanks button after benefiting from my zip (I see 78 downloads but only 2 thanks...)

you're very welcome

Just have to. Say thanks had this opFeat installed since maybe it was first available in the list and never researched how. To. Use it or. What it really did. Just gotta find out if this will run fine on my surface too (anything except liveOS off usb will work and causes windows to eff up despite grub/4win/stock/grub if it works excites to use kali on there properly}

You're very welcome but I would be happy if the thanks button was pressed Also, it should work fine on any Windows 10 computer [remember I am using a Haswell computer and it still works]. I also have Kali working but it does not support Monitor Mode and Packet Injection just yet [Microsoft does not want to implement this feature due to security concerns]. You can also get a GUI up and running with ONLY kali using Win-Kex [look it up]

Our PC system has been attacked by a ransomewhere virus, called as .lisp file virus and our files has been encrypted to .lisp sub-extension. Any technical advice?

Thanks but any chance of getting clean links that don't require allowing JavaScript before i can access them ?
It's blocked by my browser security and even if i allow it ,the download link gets blocked by Eset.
Doesn't anyone vet the links that get posted in the forum here ?
There's no need for a download link to be like that.
