Owing to problems with the upgrade to SDK2.3, I now need to back out to an earlier version. Fortunately I had saved a cutdown version of SDK 2.1 which would allow me to continue development. However I upgraded my Eclipse pluigin to 8.0.0, which expects a 2.3 SDK environment. Eclipse now complains that it’s now missing the new platform-tools folder when I point the SDK location to the old 2.1 version and won’t allow me to compile.
I need to uninstall the 8.0.0 plugin and replace it with 0.9.9 but there is no option to download it on the can’t find it on the developer.android pages.
Found it!
Although it’s not visible on the site, typing
http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-0.9.9.zip
into the browser lets you download the thing. I’ve finally managed to back out to where I was 2 days ago before ‘upgrading‘ to SDK2.3
