I’ve installed the Android SDK and the ADT plugin, but Android doesn’t show up

  • 0

I’ve installed the Android SDK and the ADT plugin, but Android doesn’t show up in the Window>Preferences… dialog.

I’m running Galileo. If I go to the Installation Details part of the About Eclipse dialog, it says that I have 0.9.6 of Android DDMS and Android Development Tools. I can run adb from the command line. I tried going around the uninstall/reinstall loop once.

I’m on Windows Vista. I also have 2.7.7 of the Scala plugin installed, but I tried uninstalling that.

Any ideas on what I should try next? Thanks.

    Is your eclipse installation running from the “Program Files” or “Program Files (x86)” folder?
    This was my case and I had this particular problem and a few more.

    What I did was to place a fresh copy of Eclipse in a different folder (e.g. c:\dev), launch it and to install the Android Plug-in using the Eclipse Update and it seems to work fine now.

    I did not need to download again the Android SDK.
