Android Tutorial & Lessons 1: Installing Eclipse and SDKs

[MrSamhay2u]

gosh i think you used the phrase "you just" about a hundred times in 5 minutes. How effective was that tutorial? Lay off the red bull, slow down, and limit your instructions to what is only necessarily like all the other cool instructions. Dont get me wrong...Im appreciative of these instructions but there is not an apparent slow motion setting in youtube.

[Druzz3n]

@Thebaconsupreme how did you fix this problem?

[Thebaconsupreme]

When I try to run eclipse it says A java runtime environment or java development kit must be available in order to run eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations...

[master1of1empire]

[x360rami]

[ahmetkgunay]

@comineeyeaha thank you i had already done it thank you for your reply

[conez4]

yah i downloaded Java's SE Development Kit 7 for windowsx86 (which im assuming is correct since i have 64-bit)...... and im still coming up with the java error upon startup. any help would be greatly appreciated



[grajaram]

@conez4 no you are not correct because "windowsx86" is for 32-bit, so u have to download windows-x64 if your computer is 64-bit

[conez4]

@grajaram ahhh dude thanks man i never really understood why theres a x86 it confused me xD

[ahmetkgunay]

please can you help me i got "SDK Manager] Unable to find a 'userdata.img' file for ABI armeabi to copy into the AVD folder." error while i am trying to add new avd to my eclipse please someone help me. i downloaded android 4.0 platform is it the reason to get my error?

[comineeyeaha]

@ahmetkgunay I had this issue too. Go back in to the SDK manager, open up the ICS category, and install ARM EABI v7a System Image. It's working for me right now.

[GLRecordz]

I'm new to all of this and i'm trying to build an app for my company. Any ideas? i'm going to start by building this app. So I will start by down loading everything you said, also I just paid for the google portion which was a one time fee of 25.00. Was this the right thing to do? Other than that your video is a great help. If I could catch you online for some info. That would be great.

C:\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe

[pronto33]

[josephbanate]

Your tutorial is so cool...(-^_^-)

[prettyeyez38]

Thank you so much-I should have came here 2wks ago (would have saved me from pulling my hair out)! You are so clear (better than this book I purchased for absolute beginners). Eclipse is finally working-yippee :) I wouldn't change a thing ...your voice sounds great!

[RandyRobert36]

Great stuff! Your explanations are solid...very easy to follow...keep up the good work!

[mohammadx3]

Ur uploads are great, good for beginners specially. Would like to ask you some questions in personal(detailed info about android development).

[TullioK]

I have a problem. After I install the things from SDK manager, I go to Windows > Preferences > Android, but there is nothing there, instead it says 'Could not find folder 'tools' inside SDK 'C:\Users........' I really don't know what to do next, I've tried installing everything again. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreaciated, thanks!

[956Joeboy]

so if you just run it from phone you dont need sdk?

[jYTNeha]

This is quite an informative video..I have installed Android on my system through the installer file that is found on the site : developer.android.com. There is sth different that I have got. Firstly, I do not find any sdk targets for android in preferences. Secondly, I have got two exe files namely sdk manager and avd(android virtual device). Is there sth that I have missed?

[MsMinecraft4fun]

i have to know how to use only Java or i need other Proggraming languages to learn so i can make an smartphone app? plz help me!!!

[Nilak90]

"A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: C:\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exeja­­vaw.exe in your current path"

[1amtom]

[envyhunterHD]

[justojonathan]

Hey could you make a new tutorial because everything looks very different. I tried to follow this tutorial but for some reason it does not work!

[MrY3110w]

[Nopo17]

[khensolomon]

I am happy to rate your tutorial 100 out of 100......

[StiFt]

Perfekt tutorial! Keep em coming ;)

[musakaci]

Hi there.

I'm trying to install SDK but i can't find "SDK Manager" option on my iMac. I see:

add-ons

platforms

SDK Readme.txt

tools

BUT IT DOES not give any option, does not show SDK Manager.

what should i do?

Thx

[TheTresPalms]

How Would you make like a game that is like mw2 ac130??

[giot28]

thanks, great tutorial

[MrBunyRabit]

Brilliant, thanx man

[mixedtrigenito]

and took me a quick minute to figure out how to do it alone but...

when you open eclipse and then click on android go to sdk location and select the folder where you put the android sdk then hit apply.

GREAT WORK BY BTW.

[rabidturtles359]

@mixedtrigenito can you help me? when i choose the location of the sdk, it does not give me the option to apply, its still grayed out

[maurico227]

i want to make app thAT COULD PLAY PS2 GAMES ON YOUR ANDROID PHONE OR TABLETS

[zuriel714]

mine is taking long

[mikegonzalez2012]

Another note, wheny you look at your preferences you may not see the Android SDK because you may have moved it. You will need to browse to that folder in order for the API's and other tools to appear.

[mikegonzalez2012]

If you are using Windows 7 64bit, Java will install 64bit by default.

In this vid he is installing 32bit Elclipse so you need 32bit Java otherwise Eclipse will not find Java and you will get a path error.

To correct this simply click the downloads link at the top of Java's website. Then in the lower left column click "All Java Downloads" then choose the offline 32bit version. Once installed it will create a 32bit path that Eclipse will see. Good thing im a programmer :)

[zw87728]

Hi, I really like your video about android. I am currently exploring it. However, I am stuck with the camera thing. I cannot get a fully functioning camera in the ADV simulator, could you help me with it? I am really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[praveenchukka]

[dmcmillo1]

[chrisLSuk]

hello mate.. and thank you for the good explanation...i did everything okay but when i click on eclipse ( file -> new -> there is no android project tthere...just project ) what do i have to do mate..thank you

[CornboyzAndroid]

@chrisLSuk try file>new>other... then there should be an option for android under.. the general folder ( i think?!?!)

[willyn99]

Is it necesary to install all the apis?

I only have a Milestone/Droid to test my apps, it runs froyo.

I mean, in the froyo one are the 1.6 apis included? Or i need the 1.6 apis to develop things in froyo?

I mean, are 1.6 api things still being used in froyo and up or they are not needed?

[kyleschlebach]

man, you rock! i'm subscribed and watching and learning. . .

[YoFuxer]

Hello. I have Indigo eclipse. Will it make any difference?

[HaloMediaz]

@YoFuxer yes duh :D

[vancouverislandstyle]

@YoFuxer fantastic!!! I would love to develop an AP that will allow me to find and connect with affilliates for my magazine

[jasek1w]

thumbs up if you noticed that all his videos start with "what's up guys?"

[BinaryReaper]

Thanks a million for this tutorial, and yes you need a better mic, its really metallic sounding and tinny/echo-y

[Liamm251]

Hey, installing the platforms is taking aaaaaaaaaaagggggeeeeeeeesssss and some times the android sdk stops responding, are all the platforms required? if not which ones shall I install? Or is there a quicker way of downloading the Platforms I think I saw a few links on the android site

[mrmarkwilder]

Gonna be a big fan bro... Great job and thanks for sharing... I need to get started on the lessons...

[MaterLucian]

Thank you for the video, but i ran into an obstacle. When I tried to extract, there was an extract all button, so i clicked on it. After the extractions, It said that the folder was empty. I clicked on the extract all, but it still didnt work. I did this many times, but I got the same results.

[metazai]

Sir, you are without question the best android dev tutorialist on the web. I've hit wall after wall with every other tutorial out there and this . . this is IT. I am only a few lessons in, but damn, man, you should be teaching for a living!

[HarryZ96]

How can I use my phone for it? I plugged it in on debugging, but don't know what to do

[heloworld7]

Very good tutorial, also helps for mac (its exactly the same)! Subscribed!

[tmoon33]

Thanks for doing this, my kids are watching all the tutorials and getting ready to make their first app.

[shinmasterx]

do i have to have java installed for any of this to work??

[Ideaz4U2]

would this be too large to store on a memory stick, of 122 mb?

[DOfficial100]

great vid

[dancegodess220]

everytime i try to open the Eclipse application after extracting it into the C drive, it says "A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: C:\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exeja­vaw.exe in your current path"

[htme51]

@dancegodess220 What you have to do is search java jdk on google then download it from the oracle website. then when you install it try opening eclipse again and that alert shouldnt come up again.

[fatalflex15]

@dancegodess220

just install java

java.com

[TellWorldTruth]

@dancegodess220 You may need to download JDK or JRE. Just search it on Google or YouTube and you find the link you need.

[gurioper]

@dancegodess220 make sure you have jdk and java installed and set up your path correctly

[Ideaz4U2]

why is this a video response to a music video that has nothing to do with this?

[iPodOperator]

Lmao 6:30 ... Brain fart.

[charismatubagus]

Woow...this is what I am looking for Android development tutorials

[murilloralphjr]

I had a problem because Java was not installed. After installing Java i still couldn't get it to run but I saw where it was looking for the JRE file so I copy and paste it from the java folder then uploaded. I hope that is all I needed to do but so far through this video it is working. Just a heads up for the beginners you said you were focusing on.

[Beachbums904]

Hey im having a problem, hoping you can help. at about 7:41 in your vid, where im supposed to click on preferences and then android, i get the notification saying "error unable to create preference page. an error ocurred while automatically activating bundlecom.android.ide.eclipse.­adt (339)." Thnx,

[Detroitfarm]

You don't need to keep apologizing for having a excellent tutorial-going to fast. I did a lot of searching on youtube, and I discovered that you have one of the best Tuts around at this time!!!

[almightyprakhar1]

Hi...for some reason i dont get the graphical layout option for xml files...all i get it is the normal Design tab..help??

[bestoflinuxx]

Excellent tutorial set Thanks!

[rigelglen]

Thanks a Lot !!

[akinakinyilmaz]

hello everyone : i got an error when i try to enter android sdk in eclipse this is : "location of the android sdk has not been set up in the preferences"

i couldnt find any path to set up in preferences and when i google the error i couldnt find understandable answers.thanks everyone.thanks adam.

[tfinnerty1124]

@akinakinyilmaz

I am having the same problem...did u figure this out?

[MeTaLiiKz]

@tfinnerty1124 got the same problem as well >< did you figure it out in the end?

[CornboyzAndroid]

@akinakinyilmaz  @7:37

[CornboyzAndroid]

@akinakinyilmaz @7:37 click the android folder on the left hand side, then locate where you extracted the sdk when you click "Browse..." for sdk location

[DanSanderlin]

i was wondering how to run it on phone when your building instead with the emulator. the google app inventor had it where it showed on phone as you built it when it was connected to your computer and you mentioned it in video you can do it with this. plus i got a huawei from metro pcs. doesnt seem that great or a fast phone but i can be wrong, would u recommend using the 2.2 8api setting you used with your driod x or should i go lower?

[WayneDavisRocks]

Awesome video I'm going to follow all your vids

[TheMovieVid]

Don't work eclipse can't find it

[pareshrr]

hey everythin that u explain is gud but u need to learn one thing. when ur making tutorials know that even a lay man should be able to pick up with ur lessons. one of the most important thing in android is that the package name should start with com. u have to tell that. there are many things like this that u miss out which makes ur teaching little down.

[Fayimora]

Is it possible to get like a zipped file of you android tutorials?? This would really be helpful if possible as am tired of downloading bit by bit..Thnks

[DrHackable]

I only know web development languages

[DrHackable]

I have more than no knowlage :(

[THOMASPRAVEEN]

Thank You Very much
