Configuring ADT plugin for eclipse -- no Android option in preferences

I'm trying to setup eclipse for Android but have run into an issue.
I'm following the guide here: bah, I can't post outside links from being a new user. But if you go to developer (dot) android (dot) com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html -- This is the part that I'm stuck on.
I've got eclipse to download the ADT plugin, but when trying to follow "Configuring the ADT plugin" I open the preferences via Windows > Preferences (step 1), but there is no "Android" option on the left hand side as indicated in step (2).
Any idea why this would be happening?
Thanks,
~kb
EDIT: This should really be in the base android development forum. I've messaged a moderator to hopefully get it moved, sorry for posting it in the wrong forum.

The Android option is not coming up under Window>Preferences in Eclipse after installing the ADT?
One reason that this may be occurring is because of Windows 7 security settings. Try starting up Eclipse with “Run as administrator.”
1) Start Eclipse with ‘Run as administrator’ (It may ask to change workspace directory. I just made it c:\workspace temporarily.)
2) Download the ADT plug-in with Eclipse as directed in the Android documentation
3) Profit
Note: I did not have to run as administrator every time. Once it was installed I could see it when I started Eclipse normally, but I had to set the Android SDK directory again.

this is happening to me also, but it was on ubuntu after i upgraded from lucid to maverick. ...i hate upgrading ubuntu...

Did you guys find any solution yet? I can't see "Android" under preferences either. And I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 recently.

I don't think the dev kit works well with Eclipse 3.6.
Try the 3.5 download
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/galileosr2

It is 3.5.

eclipse : issue fixed
I just signed in as I wanted to let you know about that issue I got.. fixed !
I tried several tricks so to speak, uninstalled Eclipse, uninstalled ADT plugin, reinstall the SDK, tried with and without adding the SKD path to the $PATH...
Using linux, I just deleted the .eclipse directory that was in my home directory.
You will have to add the repository for the ADT plugin to be installed, install the plugin... and restart Eclipse (not to mention you'll have to reinstall ALL the plugin you added, correct me if IM wrong).
Then you should be able to set the preferences about the SDK path... and have a new menu item (new project -> android )
Dont ask me what happened while upgrading my ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10, I actually didnt take some time to investigate about it (ubuntu64 10.10)
(sorry about my english by the way)
Cheers,
Fabrice (France)

you're welcome.

Thanks LinuxFab, I'll give it a try.

Did this work?
I'm using a mac, so I'm wondering if this fix at least worked for ubuntu, lemme know! Thanks

Android Screencast (My Mobiler for Android) and Android Screen Monitor

Hey guys, i just wanted to share these applications that i found awhile back. I have them posted in the old vogue forums but they still come in very handy to me.
I DID NOT DEVELOPE ANY OF THIS SOFTWARE. CREDIT GOES TO THE DEVELOPERS
Some of you may already have these.
If you have Android SDK, ADB and JAVA, all you need to do is download the attached files, extract, and run them.
Link To Android SDK
Link To Java
Android Screen Monitor
This is a really nice and easy to use screen monitoring\screenshot program.
ASM is an Android Debug Bridge (adb) client, When it starts monitoring screen,
ASM connects to adb on port 5037 and receives frame buffer continuously on the device or emulator and transfer image to your desktop window.
You can rotate and scaling monitor window and export a image into PNG file as screen shot tool.
ADB Must be installed
If you have sdk installed skip step 1.
If you have Java JRE(JDK) installed skip step 2
Make sure you have your phone plugged in usb.
1. Make sure ADB is functional
2. Download Android SDK for Windows and place the android-sdk-windows folder on the root of your C:\ Drive.
3. Download and install Latest version of Java
4. Download the attached asm.zip and extract asm.jar out.
5. Place the asm.jar in \android-sdk-windows\tools folder.
6. Right click on asm.jar and place a shortcut on your desktop. Run the jar file or shortcut to bring up the monitor

Yes, I just tried out the Android Screencast. It seemed to work well. I am not sure what I would use it for, but it did work.
I didn't try ASM because I use DDMS for screenshots. DDMS is built into the Android SDK and works perfectly without needing anything extra.
Thanks for the contributions though.

greek keyboard
although it is rather slow, it works Ok.
I can use the english keyboard for composing messages, working with contacts, but when I turn the PC-keyboard to the greek language, I cannot use it with the phone.
Any suggestion pls?

Screencast is great for people like me who are physically disabled and can't use their hands. I used to use EveryWan Personal Edition by Sparus Software which only works with Windows mobile devices...hope screencast will become as good as (or better than) EveryWan!

Is it possible to run application developed with Adobe Flash Builder on GTablet

Is it possible running applications for android developed with Adobe Flash Builder on GTablet? Want to use it like central device for my developments.

I can package the APK and if somebody want to participate in experiment I will send the file, and you just run it on your device?
Anyone?

You may wanna join the #tegratab channel on freenode irc. Usually a few willing testers and if you upload and post a link most likely will get instant feedback.

I can answer my question myself since I got device I did some tinkering
You can run application developed in AFB like mobile application, if you will try to run something adopted from desktop, it wont run properly becasue IMHO mobile AIR does not contain all necessary libraries.
There is no way right now to debug on device, apparently it needed some special USB driver from Adobe in order to connect debugger with device via USB, I think this will be released when GTablet will pass certification with Adobe. I've tried to use USB driver of other Android deices - no success.

I've been using Burrito (Flash Builder) for the last few weeks with my GTab - it rocks. I've ported a couple of my other AIR apps. You're right in that not all of the AIR API is supported (yet) on Android, and not all of the device's sensors are supported either.. but it *is* still in Beta (last time I checked).
In short, I've been developing Android apps for a year now.. in Eclipse with java, using AppInventor, and using Adobe Flash Builder Burrito... and even with the missing API features, hands down Burrito is my favorite tool for Android development now.

Install adt 21

Someone please tell me page where how to install adt plugin for eclipse juno is described

Hi caponer, to do that u need to provide the url https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse from within eclipse. Then provide the location of android sdk. You do not need eclipse or adt to develop android apps though. You can use sdk instead.

Baaaaa I get http method not allowed error. Please help

That's because you used wrong url. Type https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse

That solved it. Thx

Its just hung on calculating requirements and dependencies

Wait

Ok I have installed the adt plugin - the ndk tools because some component was missing and now I am downloading sdk rev to resolve version issue.

Atta boy. No quickly write hello world app and post it

[Q] How to run QEMU(latest version) for virtualising windows on android ?

Has anyone been able to compile qemu 1.7 version and run windows image as qcow2 on android..??
I am facing some problem, mostly in GUI part of qemu.
Android kills the limbo-qemu process (1.7 version ) after it has launched, Dont know why it is killing it. Even tried to increase the ram in qemu for the windows image.
If you need more specific details in helping me out, please let me know.
Regards
Kushal

Question
Where did you find a link to download Limbo based off Qemu 1.7? I was wanting to try it myself but it looks like the Google code link is down.
