This is the first of my new series on how to get developing for Android on a Mac. This shows you how to get up and running with the Eclipse IDE and the Android SDK and get a basic emulator running. More to come soon, so stay tuned!

Just as a note to everyone: The current version of eclipse classic is 3.7.1. It's been upgraded since I made this video. The current version is 3.7.1.

@iluvmacs102 hey there, very nice vid. but one question. .. in TOTAL, how much space does all of that take up? eclipse with the SDK and everything in need to make android apps, how much space does it take up?

[iluvmacs102]

@MAGAMEZ1 For me, it took up about 200mb. It's not too large, as development environments go.

How do I download Eclipse Classic 3.5.2? The website does not have a download link...I don't see it.

@mesadesue Eclipse classic is out of date. Just download the latest eclipse. It's functionally the same.

What Eclipse packages do I need to download to be current?

@iluvmacs102 Every time I try to run my app as an android application, it says that I have errors and that I need to fix them first. There are no found errors in my code, so I suspect my emulator isn't working. Do you know any way to fix this?
