Eclipse Indigo Android ADT - install OK, no “Android” option in Preferences and New Project

Question

I have Eclipse (Indigo Service Release 1, Build id: 20110916-0149) running on Win XP.

I\'ve added https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ and installed 4 plugins

Answer 1

If you are going to reinstall as administrator make sure to remove the ADT Plugin from the Windows > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites.

Also something that may help is when installing the ADT Plugin you get the option for Developer Tools which the http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html guide tells you to select, but make sure to also select NDK Plugins.

And as usual do this while running as administrator. It probably doesn't make a difference but instead of clicking restart I closed Eclipse and reopened as administrator each time it was necessary.

As far as I can tell the NDK Plugin was the only thing I did differently when I finally got it to work.
