Eclipse Adt For Mac Windows 10
Android offers a custom plugin for the Eclipse IDE, called AndroidDevelopment Tools (ADT). This plugin provides a powerful, integratedenvironment in which to develop Android apps. It extends the capabilitiesof Eclipse to let you quickly set up new Android projects, build an appUI, debug your app, and export signed (or unsigned) app packages (APKs) for distribution.
LiveCycle provides the complete source code of the Mobile Workspace app. The source contains all components to build a custom workspace application.
Note: You should install the ADT pluginonly if you already have an Eclipse installation that you want to continue using. If you do nothave Eclipse installed, you should instead installthe complete Android SDK, which includes the latest IDE for Android developers.
Your existing Eclipse installation must meet these requirements:
- Eclipse 3.7.2 (Indigo) or greaterNote: Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) is no longersupported with the latest version of ADT.
- Eclipse JDT plugin (includedin most Eclipse IDE packages)
- JDK 6 (JRE alone is not sufficient)
- Not compatible with GNU Compiler for Java (gcj)

If you are having trouble downloading the ADT plugin after following thesteps above and you are behind a firewall (such as a corporate firewall), make sure thatyou have properly configured your proxy settings in Eclipse. In Eclipse,you can configure proxy information from the main Eclipse menu inWindow (on Mac OS X, Eclipse) >Preferences > General > NetworkConnections.
If you are still unable to use Eclipse to download the ADT plugin as aremote update site, you can download the ADT zip file to your local machine andmanually install it:
- Download the ADT Plugin zip file (do not unpack it):
Package Size MD5 Checksum ADT-23.0.3.zip 103321934 bytes ab2f5e2fbbdddeeb7dfd02cd4046538a - Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install NewSoftware.

- Read and accept the license agreements, then click Finish. If you get a security warning saying that the authenticity or validity ofthe software can't be established, click OK.
- When the installation completes, restart Eclipse.
To update your plugin once you've installed using the zip file, you will haveto follow these steps again instead of the default update instructions.
Other install errors
Note that there are features of ADT that require some optionalEclipse packages (for example, WST). If you encounter an error wheninstalling ADT, your Eclipse installion might not include these packages.For information about how to quickly add the necessary packages to yourEclipse installation, see the troubleshooting topicADTInstallation Error: 'requires plug-in org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui'.
For Linux users
If you encounter this error when installing the ADT Plugin for Eclipse:
...then your development machine lacks a suitable Java VM. Installing SunJava 6 will resolve this issue and you can then reinstall the ADTPlugin.
