Hello,

I saw that as well. Before it used to say Helios. I don't think that it is much of a difference to be worried about. Best of luck.

Too many things to download. :( Wish there was an easier and more efficient method.

Hello,

Yes, the process to install the Android SDK is difficult, but we made it as easy as we could. We managed to condense a procedure that would normally take several hours into about 15 minutes. It is quite difficult to install the SDK without prior knowledge, so we tried to make it so that others could follow our procedure and successfully install all of the components. If you follow our steps, you should be able to begin application development very soon. Good luck!

Hello,

There might have been a problem in your installation at the point where it asks you to install the ADT plugin. The SDK and AVD menu item will only show up if the ADT plugin was installed fully. I would recommend trying to install the ADT plugin again from this point in the video: 7:35 .

I want to thank you for sharing. This video is extremely informative and very well done. Your patience and understanding really came through. Again thank you, I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have to share. I have been educated!
