Alright, so the issue is... I have the SDK... and it won't work on either of the operating systems I run. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7, both 64bit. There are two main aspects I am after with it. Using DDMS to take screenshots and mess with stuff on devices, and the virtual Android system. On Ubuntu, DDMS comes up, but it shows my device as just ?????? and I am unable to do anything. I have already tried putting in the rules thing I found all over google, and it has done nothing. The correct IDs were in as well. On Windows, why I try to use it... it pops up with a command prompt screen for a split second and does nothing. On both Ubuntu and Windows, when I try to use a virtual device, all it does is crashes. This is with all different settings. So, is there anyone that can help me out with these issues? I just spent 3 hours of google searching to no avail. None of the fixes or anything I have found made any difference. Well... that's not true... one of them made DDMS not work at all... but that just needed to be restored. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Update: Doesn't work on my gf's laptop which has Xp either... wtf DOES this run on?
I run the sdk on my win7 32 bit desktop. It runs in eclipse
[Q] Hey guys, I just updated to Ubuntu 10.10 and now my SDK is gone! I tried to look into why it wasn't working and the software manager tool in Eclipse says that Android is installed. I don't even have any of the Android SDK buttons showing anymore? Can someone help a fellow dev?
[SOLVED] Go to the eclipse website, download Eclipse for linux, uninstall your old eclipse, extract your new eclipse wherever and go into the folder and click the application button titled eclipse. Then reinstall all the android stuff.
At the informal android developer's meetup tonight, there were two of us with this same problem.
One issue that I found was that PATH in .profile got broken.
We suspect that using the version of eclipse that came with ubuntu, rather than 3.5 downloaded directly from eclipse might also be causing problems.
I have the same problem; ellarsee, can you be more specific how you got it running again?
(what is .mprofile and where is it, for example? (Googling isn't helping me find out))
Same thing happened to me
Upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 broken my Android SDK as well.
Is it possible the Java packages are not installed anymore in Ubuntu?
I tried this...
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk
Updated a lot of stuff but Eclipse Android is still gone...
Does anyone have this figured out yet??????????????????????????????? I NEED TO GET MOVING ON SOME APPS! THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!
Removal and re-install of ADT plugin does not help
This is the error that appeared in my project the first time I ran eclipse after the 10.10 upgrade from 10.04.
Code:
The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for java.lang.Object. Fix the build path then try building this project
I attempted to fix the build path (Properties->Java Build Path) and noticed that
com.adroid.ide.eclipse.adt.ANDROID_FRAMEWORK was not checked. I checked it but this made no difference.
Going to try complete uninstall of eclipse...
It's still not working for me
Not .mprofile .profile, it's like .bashrc, a script that is run when you log in, and can set your $PATH variable, or other environment variables.
emacs ~/.profile
or
vi ~/.profile
should enable you to edit it.
Has anyone tried just a fresh reinstall of everything to work on android apps?
Someone asked about java, it's still in /usr/bin/java
SOLUTION
Can't post outside links. So you'll have to google the bug numbers I give.
Ubuntu bug is here: bugs.launchpad # 633198
This points at a debian bug: bugs.debian.org # 587657
Debian bug contains a workaround where you edit the file:
~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_*/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info
And you change the concurrent package location (I had too entries, I had to remove them both and insert the line in the debian bug)
and then things magically worked for me again!
Best of luck everyone
Someone else?
Someone else found a way to fix it?
Cuz, everything up till now didnt work for me
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!
Hello. I was hired to build an Android app but I am having problems.
I understand
1) Java SDK
2) Android SDK
3) Eclipse
4) Eclipse plug-in
5) Java programming
I just finished Java Certified exam, so I'm really fresh with Java
However, I am having problem with
1) Android Virtual Device
I create one, run, emulator.exe runs, but NOTHING shows up
Even if I wait 2 hours, nothing shows up
I am running Windows 7 64-bit
I already reinstalled Google Android SDK (latest version)
It's weird
I pushed the program to my cell phone and I had no problem with that, it worked wonders
The app runs on my cell phone, but it won't run on my emulator
I need the emulator to work because I want my apps to communicate to each other (I hope that can be done)
But anyway, I want to develop FAST so pushing a new APK to my cell phone 20 times per day is not a solution, I REALLY need the emulator to work
Thanks in advance
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...

Does Android Studio requires JDK 7 or greater ?? coz i have JDK 1.6 on my Windows 7 it doesnt start up even after setting JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

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?
