Has anyone successfully installed eclipse and ADT on Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium? I installed Eclipse (Galileo SR2 32bit) and attempted to install the ADT and DDMS plugins. Eclipse lists ADT and DDMS as installed software but they do not show up in the plugin list. As a result, I can't create an Android project since it does not show up in the new projects . I am not sure if I am missing something simple or if there is a basic incompatibility with Windows 7. I have successfully set up the ADT on XP but am new to Windows 7 (and I don't much experience with Eclipse). Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
PS. I have also downloaded JDK and Android SDK and modified my Path envirnoment for each.
I never could get things working in win7 (I have win 7 pro 64bit) so I built a VMWare virtual machine with linux and set it all up there and run the VM under win7.
I'll probably end up something similar. Thanks for the info.

No issues here too
I installed eclipse, the plugin and the sdk just yesterday without any problems.
Although I tried on an older windows 7 system a few months ago, and had issues with Eclipse giving some random errors.
I read version 3.6 had issues, so this time I installed 3.5, all is working fine so far.
Thanks everyone for the commnets. I couldn't get eclipse to recognize the ADT properly so I assumed it was a Windows 7 compatibility issue. After hearing of your success, I ended up reinstalling eclipse, ADT SDK and JDK. That seamed to do the trick so I am up and running in Windows 7. I aslo installed VMWare/Ubuntu/Eclipse so I now can develop in Windows or Linux.
Have you tried to run the executables in Windows XP compatibilty mode?
Right click on the exe, go to properties, compatibility tab and check the box and select windows XP service pack 3.
Most of the programs which are compatible with XP and not with Win 7 can be ru this way...
Ive installed the android sdk and then installed eclipse but i'm not sure whether I have JDK installed or not, Is there some way I can check this ?
Also will it make a difference if I need to install JDK even though eclipse has already been installed. Does the JDK have to be installed in a specific location for eclipse and android sdk to use it properly.
Thank you.
Ar you using windows, linux or Mac?
If you are on a Mac then you do not need to download the JDK because Java is already installed. If you are using Windows then yes, you do need to download the JDK. I'm not sure about Linux.
That said, if you are using Windows and you are unsure whether it is installed then, most likely it is not. Links to the JDK are available on the same Android developer pages where you downloaded the SDK. It doesn't make any difference if you've already installed the other components. Simply download and install the JDK and you should be good to go.
Is there something I forgot to do beyond the instructions in the dev resources for installation on the android sdk site?
I went through a couple of the test projects to get a feel for it, and keep getting execution fc's in the emulator, exported everything to my laptop(vista 32bit) and no problems.
Have reinstalled the sdk, eclipse and java on my desktop machine but no help. Any thoughts?
Weird question, but have you set the SDK version when you created the project? Happends when you are in a hurry!
my desktop is kind of broken right now, so i am trying to install the sdk here on my windows 7 x64 laptop. the desktop was vista x32.
ive done this before and had no problems. download JDK and JRE, then the SDK. too easy right? well the SDK installer is lying to me.. its trying to tell me the JDK isnt installed! it wont let me progress from there, it just gives me a link to the download for JDK.
thought maybe i should reinstall. i did. rebooted and what not. still not working.. any insight?
you have already installed JDK right? OK, go here:
Start, Rightclick on "MyComputer" -> Properties -> Left More Settings -> Environment variables -> put in "PATH" the Path to your JDK, mine for example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\bin" but dont forget to make a ";" before the path. it should work then. sry for my bad englisch
Thank you! Will try soon

I'm actually about to pull my hair out.
I intstalled droid explorer which wasn't functioning right, so i uninstalled and put android commander on this required me to download android sdk, when downloading that it wanted me to install jdk before it progressed.
I downloaded it and it didn't seem to like it, so I went and downloaded another jdk didn't like it either...
I tried the path thing thinking it would work, seemed like a decent solution its C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23 on my computer and still nothing... really frustrating as I now can't use any software to view my android...
sometimes i just hate computers
Try installing the 32 bit version instead of the 64. That's what solved the issue for me.
I had the same issue (on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop). I ended up giving up on the exe and using the zip file instead.

These.
Or see this thread if you want to install via exe on 64bit JDK (it's looking in the registry): stackoverflow.com/questions/4394584/android-sdk-install-problem
Relevant answer:
On Win 7 x64 the Android SDK Installer is looking JDK in 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft' registry branch, but in reality the JavaSoft was placed in 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft'. I copied all JavaSoft branch to the path search, and then the installer found the JDK.
Hello,
I ran into a couple problems having android studio to install and work. thought I'd share my findings!
First, it wouldn't install. Not finding Java JDK even though it was installed.
This is solved by changing the name of C:\Windows\System32\Java.exe to something else before the installation.
Don't forget to change it back to java.exe once installed.
After installing Android studio, it wouldn't run (normal or admin didn't change a thing).
You will need to create a system environment variable named JDK_HOME with your JDK installation path (in my case C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\ ).
Android studio should now launch. (more help here )
Now that Android Studio launches, it asks for the latest android SDK
Just download and install the SDK 22 from Here
make sure you run the .exe as administrator after installation
NB :

For those having issues starting Android Studio in some Linux distros, such as Studio not finding JAVA_HOME, JDK_HOME, STUDIO_JDK, set any of those variables to the directory where Java is installed (e.g. /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_21) previously to the whole validation statements in the startup shell file (studio.sh) and everything should be fine...

It should work fine on 1.6.
Maybe it depends if you're 32bit or 64bit?
My personal setup is Windows 8 64 bit running the 64bit version of Java 1.7.
Also, for the SDK issues, if you already have the SDK installed from using Eclipse, you can just point Android Studio to that SDK under Project Settings or something (I forget the exact wording of the setting and I'm not at my computer right now...)
Thank you! I was having trouble getting Android Studio to start once installed. Setting JDK_HOME fixed this.
Im using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and set the JDK_HOME variable but it wont start...
/Edit: it works now.
HI
Thanks for this tips.
working fine for me
If someone is just beginning app development, starting with hello world app. Would you recommend him eclipse or android studio?

I'm having a small issue with Android Studio for Mac, and was wondering if anyone was running into a similar issue or has any advice.
When running my application, I'm getting an error on the install, specifically a Failure: [install_failed_invalid_apk].
I'm sure it's something really simple and elementary, but it wasn't an error I'm familiar with seeing coming from Eclipse.
Try on Linux.

android studio is in 0.1 version, while eclipse is a really good IDE for android coding.
i get used to Eclipse, and i love it more. but also i think that Google will make android studio to be the right tool for development.
Maybe android studio is in 0.1, but is based on intellij Idea which is not new, supports android already, and seems better and faster.
I don't know how it is for an experienced developer which already know ways to move, but I started with Eclipse about a year ago, and I can say that I hate it. I've lost hours and hours to wait the very slow build process of eclipse, to wait for recover from crashes, to wait for restarts because graphical editor goes mad, to clean and reclean project so eclipse be able to see a new resource added, fix and refix layouts because graphical editor shows them completely wrong(especially on dialogs).
I don't know how android studio or intellij Idea will be(I used it for very short time until now), but I find it better, faster and maybe easier(maybe because I'm more familiar with eclipse) and I think that I will spend less time to learn it that the time I'll loose with eclipse.
Fixed [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]
Ok, so I was able to fix the [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK] error I was getting, and finally get my app running on my phone. I'm not saying this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.
When I examined Logcat, I found that my package name in the Manifest was what was giving me issues, specifically the default package name given by Android Studio on project creation. The package name in my Manifest was invalid, and did not have a "." separator. Once I corrected this, I was able to run my application.
Another error I found further down the line was that new activities do not appear to be automatically added to the Android Manifest at the moment, so keep that in mind as well.
Happy programming
A different problem, if Android studio doesn't start, could be that the studio must be run as administrator. So it was at least for me.

Proxy Settings for Gradle/Maven
Hi,
just tried the Android Studio using a proxy on WindowsXP.
Even if configuring the proxy in the Settings I got an error when creating a new project.
First I had to download the "gradle-1.6-bin.zip" and had to copy it to ".gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.6-bin\72.....\
After that Gradle couldn't connect to the maven repository.
Solution: create a "gradle.properties" file in the ".gradle" directory
with content like this
Code:
systemProp.http.proxyHost=
systemProp.http.proxyPort=8080
systemProp.http.proxyUser=
systemProp.http.proxyPassword=
After that the first test project was generated without problems.
And even running it from the IDE and deploying/starting on my device (Galaxy Note, N7000) succeeded.
Is anyone here using this on Win 7 or 8? It has the stupid taskbar problem like Eclipse where you pin the exe, but when you launch it, it adds a second icon to the taskbar for the actual running app. What's even more ridiculous is, IntelliJ, which Android Studio basically is, doesn't have this problem! Any solutions?
